Duncan House guest house sits on the bank of the river tweed overlooking the ‘Junction Pool’ famous for the quality of it’s salmon fishing. There are stunning views of Old Roxburgh and Floors Castle . The town centre is only 200 metres away.

The river in all it's moods is outside the windows just a few yards away. If you wish you can open the windows and sleep to the sound of the water running over the weir. In the Autumn (and increasingly in the Spring) prodigious numbers of salmon swim up the weir on the spawning journeys. Fish can be seen jumping in the river for most of the year. There is free fishing for brown trout and grayling from 'The Cobby' just outside the house.

We have private parking sufficient for four cars.

How to locate Duncan House

Duck, geese, swan, and herons are permanent residents on the river outside our windows. We also see kingfishers, oystercatchers and plovers in season. We  now see otters outside the house on a regular basis, they raised two young in 2006 and have one cub in 2007.

Our rooms are newly refurbished for 2004 with individually designed ensuite facilities. Most of our furnishings are antique and are chosen to reflect the original style of this Georgian riverside house. Each room is named after the river or one of it's tributaries. All rooms are equipped with TV, DVD and CD/Radio alarms.
