Dryburgh Abbey Hotel

For hundreds of years, the monks of Dryburgh Abbey in the Borders were in the habit of living peaceful, tranquil lives.

These days, monks are rather rare around these parts but the peace and tranquillity remains.

Contemplate the good life with today’s Big Deal on a relaxing break at Dryburgh Abbey Hotel.

The St Boswells destination is on the banks of the River Tweed, next to the ruins of the abbey. The three star hotel the perfect spot for anyone keen to get away from it all while still enjoying levels of comfort which would make an otherwise observant monk cast off his cowl.
