Stay at Paxton House

Into another world

Spend a few nights inside our gates. Book into our award-winning Caravan Park in the historic Walled Garden or stay in one of our holiday cottages.  You will be able to make the grounds and woodlands your own after they are closed to the public. The Stables Tearoom can provide homemade lunches and takeaway meals from March to December and Paxton makes a great base for exploring the lovely Scottish Borders countryside, coastline of North Northumberland and historic Berwick-upon-Tweed.

Just for You

Paxton House combines the elegance of our Palladian house with the natural beauty of our riverside lawns and woodlands.  We can help you create a wedding day or party with a unique character that suits you and your budget from 200 guests to just 30. Whatever you want to celebrate, our historic setting will make it memorable and our dedicated team is on hand to help.  Paxton is equidistant from Edinburgh and Newcastle and only a few miles from the A1 and Berwick-upon-Tweed’s national rail links.

Super magical visit! Decorations were fantastic. Merry Christmas.

Great day paddle boarding for the first time. Friendly, helpful instructors put everyone at ease. Great fun, would definitely recommend!

“The pupils were fully engaged in the activities and clearly enjoyed their day whilst meeting the learning objectives. Excellent value for money”

Mr Tong, Glendale Middle School

Paxton House was our dream wedding venue! We wanted something a little different, and we were totally captured by the stunning picture gallery. The flexibility of having the ceremony in a different space to the reception was perfect for us, as we knew we would have a lot of guests, and we knew we wouldn’t be able to rely on the weather for drinks outside.

Andrew and Emily

“The children got to take part in role play, trying on costumes, handling and viewing items from the Victorian era. The children thoroughly enjoyed their day and I would definitely recommend it to others.”

Mrs Fleming, Coldstream Primary School

Chamber music making at its finest.

Mel made the whole process relaxed and stress-free, which is exactly how we wanted our wedding to be. We had the most wonderful day; I would thoroughly recommend Paxton House as a wedding venue whether you are looking to hold a larger wedding in the house or a more intimate wedding by the river. However, we think The Boat House is particularly enchanting.
