Doxford Hall owners buy-up renowned Scottish Borders hotel

The owners of Doxford Hall have acquired a renowned Scottish Borders hotel, growing their portfolio of properties to six.

Guyzance Hall Ltd, who also own Eshott Hall and Guyzance Hall in Northumberland, as well as Dalhousie Castle near Edinburgh and Tedsmore Estate in Shropshire, have bought Ednam House in Kelso for an undisclosed sum.

The former 18th Century Mansion, on the banks of the River Tweed, has purchased from the Brooks family, who have owned and operated the hotel since 1928.

The 32-bed hotel provides for fishing parties, wedding parties and events, and also boasts bars and a restaurant.

Guyzance Hall Ltd say they are committed to retaining Ednam House’s key role in the local economy, and suggested new developments are on the horizon.

Eric Kortenbach, Guyzance operations director said: “I am delighted to welcome Ednam House to our portfolio as it fits perfectly with our brand. As with our other properties we intend to invest in both the hotel, and staff.

“Our aim is to ensure that Ednam House becomes a truly luxury destination hotel, through attention to detail in every aspect of the property – whether it be dining, decor or service, or through the events we hold for guests and visitors. Our policy is to invest in the local economy, through buying locally, and providing opportunity and employment.”

The properties in North Northumberland and Dalhousie have seen millions of pounds worth of investment over the last five years and have already established a reputation for service and luxury.
