What's On in the Scottish Borders – May 2018
It’s May already, and it finally feels as though spring has arrived here in the Scottish Borders. As you’d imagine at this time of year, there’s a lot going on, with the great houses re-opening, gardens coming to life and events galore.

Please note: This month, we will be undergoing some refurbishment work in the lounge restaurant (7th to 13th May). Food will be available in the bar throughout this period, but we won’t be letting out any of our rooms during that week. We apologise for any inconvenience, but we hope you’ll pay us a visit once the refurbishment is complete.
