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 Hotel has twelve individually furnished en suite guest bedrooms, including a family room, the Scott Suite and various other standard and superior double/twin rooms.
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 19th century novelist Sir Walter Scott, with a backdrop of the Eildon Hills. Only a 15 minute walk from Galashiels town centre and soon to have a rail link to Edinburgh.
In the heart of the Scottish Borders, the Kingsknowes Hotel is ideally located for exploring many of the activities on offer. To name but a few, these include Golf, Fishing, Cycling and Horse Riding. Visit our Local Activities page for more information.

My wife and I spent the weekend in this very beautiful hotel. A proper 'Antiques Roadshow' building. Superb room and facilities. Charming, knowledgeable and helpful staff. It was an absolute pleasure to spend sometime here. Bravo.
This is a conversion of an old house but what a house. If you like old chandeliers, mirrors above the fireplace, grandiose staircases then this will whet your appetite. The food was great, the staff were brilliant and my room was fabby. I can't wait to go back.
Wonderful and welcoming cosy hotel with super service. Our plane was delayed until after midnight, but they kept open till we arrived. It is situated in the beautiful Borderlands with the House of Sir Walter Scott and the ruins of the Abbey of Melrose at close distance
We are just back from a lovely meal here. My mum treated me for an early birthday meal whilst we are down staying in the area. The service was lovely and the lady serving us was so nice. Food was amazing! We had the COCONUT, GARLIC & HERB BREADED CHICKEN GOUJONS, SALAD, CHIPS, CURRY & MANGO DIP and it was just so fresh and tasty. Cooked to perfection 👌🏻. We will most definitely be back when next in the area.
A brilliant two night stay that we had last weekend. Front of house staff, lovely and helpful. Cleaners, lovely and through. Food was spot on punches well above its weight as a hotel. Paul and Tracy would like to thank you all again, our 5th stay now. The haggis we took home always goes down well with the family! Fully recommended!
