Guests can relax in a unique combination of the personal and the historical in this intimate country retreat, which still retains many of its original features, as well as Scott family belongings, including original artworks and furniture.

Dog Friendly At The Hope Scott Wing
Your four-legged friends are always welcome at the Hope Scott Wing.

Sir Walter Scott loved dogs, particularly his beloved Maida, who was often by his side, and this tradition remains at Abbotsford. Guests can bring up to three dogs that can enjoy their stay on the lower ground floor of the Wing, equipped with two dog beds, dog bowls, grooming equipment and dog waste bags.

 Our magnificent woodland areas and picturesque gardens provide plenty of open space for dogs to enjoy and they will receive a warm welcome at our on-site café.
