Tweedbreaks Accommodation with style Duncan House

Duncan House sits on the bank of the river Tweed overlooking the ‘Junction Pool’. Although run as a bed and breaksfast property it is also available for self catering lets offering an ideal location for a large family group. There are stunning views of Old Roxburgh and Floors Castle . The town centre is only 200 metres away.

We have accommodation for ten persons in double or twin rooms with an option to use a sofa bed for two more. Alternatively there is an optional 'granny flat' to add to the accommodation (a further en-suite double with modest cooking facilities). Our dining table seats up to twelve and the kitchen is equipped to cope there being three ovens, two grills and eight gas hobs. The summer house is a perfect place for a summer evening gin and tonic.

The river in all it's moods is outside the windows just a few yards away. If you wish you can open the windows and sleep to the sound of the water running over the weir. In the Autumn (and increasingly in the Spring) prodigious numbers of salmon swim up the weir on the spawning journeys. Fish can be seen jumping in the river for most of the year. There is free fishing for brown trout and grayling from 'The Cobby' just outside the house.

We have private parking sufficient for four cars.

How to locate Duncan House

Duck, geese, swan, and herons are permanent residents on the river outside our windows. We also see kingfishers, oystercatchers and plovers in season. We have now seen otters outside the house in periods of higher water.

Our rooms are newly refurbished for 2004 with individually designed ensuite facilities. Most of our furnishings are antique and are chosen to reflect the original style of this Georgian riverside house. Each room is named after the river or one of it's tributaries. All rooms are equipped with TV, DVD and CD/Radio alarms.
