A Riverside Romance

Set in three acres of landscaped gardens, right on the banks of the magnificent River Tweed with views over Old , Ednam House offers the perfect canvas to your wedding day.

It’s a place that is as distinctive as it is romantic, where you’ll find AA rosette-awarded cuisine and an expert team on hand to make sure everything goes exactly as you dreamed it would. A warm Scottish welcome awaits, combined with a professional yet laid back service and a flexibility to accommodate every detail, no matter how weird or wonderful.

Thank you for considering Ednam House for your wedding day.

A Match Made in Ednam

Standing proudly at the end of a short driveway off Kelso town square you’ll find our mellow stone Georgian country house. Combining the grandeur of a country house with the convenience of a town centre location, Ednam House provides an incredible backdrop for any celebration. Its grand history is evident throughout: rich period detailing, ornate plasterwork ceilings, carved doors, fireplaces and stone work crafted by the finest artisans of the late 1700s. Handsome yet homely, and with a warm and inviting atmosphere you’ll find an enchanting blend of stately features, snug lounges, open fires and even an old-fashioned telephone box – perfect for some quirky wedding snaps! Splendid Spaces

Whilst the front façade of this perfectly proportioned mansion is reassuringly handsome, the real show stopper views are to be found at the rear of the hotel where three acres of landscaped and wild gardens run alongside the River Tweed. With panoramic views across to Floors Castle and Old Roxburgh, Ednam’s riverside gardens form the perfect backdrop to your celebrations.

Tie the knot in an al fresco ceremony under our licensed gazebo and follow with an outdoor drinks’ reception and perhaps some garden games on the lawn, edged with rose beds.

Or simply wander through the secret wild flower meadow area for some enchanting photo opportunities and the chance to steal a quiet moment with your newlywed. There’s plenty of space to use as you wish.
