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.

Beautiful place. Carol our tour guide was fantastic. Wonderful place, staying in the caravan park, will definitely come back. Stunning woodland and planting.

S Bennett, Marske-by-the-Sea

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.

As a tour through the possibilities of chamber music, this was an impressive weekend.

We will take our memories of this evening back to Canada and tell others!

Visitor review

We love coming to Paxton as a family as there is something for everyone. The kids love the playpark and they put on some great events throughout the year. Keep an eye out for their Halloween, Easter and Christmas ones, they are fantastic and real value for money! The gardens are lovely when they are in bloom and the walks are so scenic. The Tearoom sells a wide variety of foods and the cakes and traybakes are especially good. My coffee addicted husband is a big fan of their coffee and cake! Paxton House is definitely a place we will continue to visit in years to come.

The Hyslop Family

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.

Well worth booking onto the house tour to view the fine house, rooms and furniture.
