The space
The Hope Scott Wing is a later extension to Sir Walter Scott’s A-listed 'Conundrum' Castle, built in the 1850s to provide generations of his descendants with a secluded retreat. It has been sensitively renovated to offer luxury self-catering stays for up to 16 guests. Furnished with paintings and furniture from the Scott family collection, it retains the warm and welcoming feel of a family home. The Hope Scott Wing is a special place, perfect for bringing together family and friends to escape, relax and celebrate.

With seven luxury bedrooms, and an adjoining additional eighth bedroom, the accommodation is ideal for families, groups of friends or colleagues celebrating a special occasion or those simply looking to unwind from daily life in beautiful surroundings. Bedrooms include the Hope Scott Master with a grand four-poster bed, a fully accessible suite with commanding views to the river Tweed and five other luxurious double or twin rooms all individually styled and named after family members or prominent guests to Abbotsford. One bedroom also offers an adjoining queen-size room – perfect for a young family or close friends.

The public rooms provide ample space where you can enjoy a peaceful afternoon with a favourite book in the library, cosy down in front of the fire in the sitting room or enjoy a game of snooker in the games room. The large bespoke kitchen comes fully equipped and the formal dining room boasts spectacular views of the river Tweed. Outside, relax or enjoy a barbeque in the privacy of the courtyard garden.
