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.

the best wedding venue

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.

Absolutely wonderful, brilliant. Thank you so much, it’s made our Christmas, the boys were enchanted with your Father Christmas and his Elf and the setting, as were we all.

Lucas and Zak, Eyemouth

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

Super magical visit! Decorations were fantastic. Merry Christmas.

Jamie and Logan

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

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 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

This fine and important collection deserves all the support it can get.

“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
