Activities

Games Room

There is a Games Room on site which, although fairly basic, has table tennis, darts and a pool table. It is for our guests to use whenever they wish: on a rainy day, to spend time together away from the TV or to burn off excess energy.

Places To Visit

One of the main attractions of Press Mains is its location. Just a few miles from the A1 and with excellent road and rail links to the whole of the Scottish Borders and North Northumberland. Coldingham, St Abbs and Eyemouth are on the doorstep and there is a mainline East Coast station at Berwick-upon-Tweed which takes visitors into the heart of Edinburgh. Newcastle-upon-Tyne and York are also within easy reach by train. The Border towns of Kelso, Melrose, Berwick-upon-Tweed and North Berwick are all within an hour’s drive.

Historic Sites

The Scottish Borders has a rich heritage and there are many castles and historic sites to visit in the area. The medieval walled town of Berwick-upon-Tweed and Paxton House are a fifteen minute drive from Press Mains. Floors Castle and Gardens, Manderston House, Marchmont House, Thirlestane Castle, Abbotsford House and Alnwick Castle and Gardens are within easy driving distance. In addition there are many ruins and battle field sites including Greenknowe Tower, Dryburgh Abbey, Hume Castle and Flodden Field.
