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.

What a wonderful place Paxton is. We had great coffee and cakes as a takeaway from the Stables, very lovely, and then a beautiful walk around the grounds. Seriously, no better place to be in the Borders. The house amazing, the staff friendly, and the nature second to none. Managed to win the stone skimming competition down by the river!

The Times

“The visit was excellent. All the pupils really enjoyed their visit. I really appreciated the contact from yourself prior to the visit to enable excellent planning.”

Mrs Husbands, Lilliesleaf Primary School

Our second visit which was as wonderful as the first. Paxton House is a very special place and it’s a privilege to stay in the Garden Apartment – already looking forward to returning!

Mr & Mrs Williams, Lancashire

After 20 years together, we decided to tie the knot and The Boat House at Paxton turned out to be the perfect location. The setting on our big day was unreal: spectacular views across the River Tweed and the decoration inside was just magical – not to mention being able to use the entire grounds for photos, although we were having so much fun, we didn’t make it past the zip wire.

Ross and Haley

The whole approach to weddings at Paxton was very relaxed & considered- it made what can be a really stressful time for couples super easy and straightforward. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Paxton as a fabulous place to get married and our pictures turned out STUNNING, thanks in large part to the spectacular backdrop.
