On the banks of the River Tweed, The Bothy at Dryburgh is a cosy bolthole which offers rural tranquility in a countryside setting.
Enjoy the simple pleasures of country life in a traditional stone bothy
The Bothy at Dryburgh is situated at the end of a no-through road and is a charming and welcoming stone cottage, perfect as a base to explore the multitude of local attractions such as the neo-classical pavilion with its fantastic Temple of the Muses sculpture; the mighty William Wallace Statue; the spectacular ruins of Dryburgh Abbey and the Dryburgh Suspension Bridge which offers a gentle stroll into the village of St. Boswells for a leisurely lunch.
At the heart of The Bothy is a compact open-plan kitchen and dining area with French doors which open out to a newly built conservatory to the rear with views across the surrounding farmland.
The kitchen is well equipped with plenty of thoughtful extras and there is a spacious ground floor bedroom complete with crisp linens and detailing which make this a real home-from-home.
Outside, guests can enjoy a morning coffee on the patio area to the front of the Bothy, or venture further afield to the Dryburgh Abbey Hotel where guests are welcome to use the bar and AA rosette restaurant and bistro.
