A very interesting gem of a place to visit.

If you are in the area of Berwick upon Tweed then Paxton House is a must see destination. I thought I knew about Chippendale the 18th century furniture maker but there is so much more to learn about him here. Lesley our guide was friendly, engaging and extremely knowledgeable about the extraordinary family who built and resided at this lovely house. You won’t be disappointed.

We stayed in one of Paxton House’s new glamping pods this autumn and were utterly enchanted. Nestled beside the stately home, forest walks, and the gentle River Tweed, the setting is delightful. The pod itself radiated hygge. Warm, welcoming, and thoughtfully designed for comfort. Crisp mornings, golden leaves, and birdsong made it feel like a storybook escape. The staff were exceptional, going above and beyond to make our stay special. From the immaculate interiors to the peaceful surroundings, everything was perfect. A truly restorative retreat that blends nature, history, and hospitality with effortless charm. We can’t wait to return.

One of the most uplifting stately home visits I have had. In part, this is because I am a Paxton, so my ancestors came from the village of Paxton. Paxton House was in the Home family, so, no relation. The exterior is restrained elegance. The excellent, knowledgeable tour guide took a small group of 20, beginning with the kitchen, processing through the less elegant rooms to the finale of majestic rooms. These last rooms are quite magnificent, with Robert Adam ornament & decoration. I did not have to pay admission as I am a member of Historic Houses. Cafe & shop are VG. VISIT PAXTON HOUSE.
