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.

We had the most incredible day celebrating our wedding at Paxton House. The venue was stunning and adaptable. Mel was truly wonderful, no job or idea was too big, small or weird for her! She was down with all our suggestions and committed to making them work. We loved that the venue was so ready to let us make our day specific to us – like bringing in an Iranian chef we loved from London to do the catering and having drinks and canapés by the river. We had ca. 130 guests travelling from all over the world, and everyone were very impressed with Paxton House and the set up of the wedding. We could not have been happier with the whole experience, from start to finish. Thanks to everyone at Paxton for making it such a special day!

Stables Tea Room – Afternoon Tea

OMG what a lovely surprise, more than your usual afternoon tea and I’ve had a few. We sat down and were immediately given a wee china tea cup full of hot soup – delicious, then came the Afternoon tea, we could not believe it, turkey, stuffing and gravy sandwiches, egg mayo, ham and pickle, cheese and pickle, home made sausage rolls, home made quiche, cheese scones, then the desert tower, all manner of goodies as well as scones, jam and clotted cream. Unlimited tea and coffee. We were royally stuffed , the best value for money ever by sheer amount. Anything left we were given take away boxes for so we could enjoy later at home.
Bravo to the cook/ staff unbelievable quality, amount and great service. Book in advance but well worth it. £26 per person and thoroughly worth every penny.
