Rooms & Accommodation
The Royal Hotel occupies a former coaching inn in the centre of Jedburgh, with 14 en-suite bedrooms that have been refurbished to balance contemporary comfort with original character. Each room includes a flat-screen television and tea and coffee making facilities, while the historic building itself preserves period features like high ceilings and large windows. The hotel offers flexible check-in times to accommodate various travel schedules, and a boot room is available for drying hiking footwear.
Dining
A full Scottish breakfast is included in all room rates, featuring locally inspired options with made-to-order cooked dishes. The on-site café serves meals and operates as a friendly bar environment during the day. Breakfast is served with table service rather than a buffet, and includes juice, cereals, and a cooked breakfast with choices like sausages and scrambled eggs.

The property is adjacent to the bus station and a free public car park, providing easy access for travellers. The Championship Roxburghe Golf Course and an 18-hole golf course are both within 5 minutes of the hotel.

Free on-site parking is available for guests, and the hotel provides an electric vehicle charging station for eco-friendly travel. The property is smoke-free throughout and offers a communal café space with tables for takeaway meals brought in from local eateries. Community engagement initiatives encourage support for nearby shops and restaurants, and the staff can provide recommendations for evening dining.
