The Kingsknowes Hotel is an imposing Scottish baronial mansion, built in 1869 for the local textile mill owner, Adam Lees Cochrane. It was sympathetically converted into an Hotel in the 1960s, managing to retain much of the delicate elegance and charm of the original features, and furnished comfortably with its heritage in mind. Located off the A7, between Galashiels, Melrose and Selkirk, the Kingsknowes Hotel is situated in five acres of carefully tended gardens above the banks of the river Tweed. The view from the Hotel across the river takes in Abbotsford House, home to the Scott family, and offers a romantic setting for those staying in the Scott Suite. With its warm and welcoming atmosphere, comfortable en-suite guest bedrooms and excellent cuisine, the Kingsknowes Hotel is an ideal base for exploring the Scottish Borders.
