Ideal for special celebrations with all of your favourite people (and four-legged friends!) in tow, Bemersyde House sleeps up to 23 guests in grandly historic surroundings.
Not only does part of the 12,000-acre Bemersyde Estate sit within a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, but the house itself is built around a magnificent 16th century tower. Oh, and as lords and ladies of the manor, you’ll also enjoy direct access to a stretch of the River Tweed, and your own private viewing spot of the Eildon Hills. (Could you imagine a setting more lovely… or indeed, a setting more Insta-worthy?)
You’ll feel like the VIPs you are, as you make your entrance onto the sweeping driveway and through the solid wooden door, straight into the front hall. With its gorgeous wood-burning stove, this is an ideal room to catch up and reconnect with guests as they arrive.
Then it’s on to exploring the house in all its breath-taking glory! Owned by the same family for over 800 years, there’s something new to discover in almost every glance, from the luxurious furnishings to the fascinating artwork lining the walls.
Accommodation is divided across the main house and its East Wing, with two spectacular drawing rooms and a games room meaning there’ll be plenty of room for everyone to stretch out, relax, and enjoy themselves just as they like.
Facing the sunrise, the welcoming morning room is an ideal place for everyone to get together over breakfast, while the elegant dining room provides a grand setting for celebratory banquets… whipped up in your choice of kitchens!
Generously spread across three floors, choosing your favourite of the 11 themed bedrooms available may take you some time. Though the captivating tower bedroom is the jewel in the crown; perfect for romantic couples with its downy four-poster bed and wood-burning stove.
