Carfraemill Full Description
Location: We're just 20 miles south of Edinburgh, near the pretty Borders town of Lauder. Bespoke packages: Your big day is unique to you: we tailor-make your package to perfectly fit what you’re looking for. Come to us for our stunning location on the edge of the Lammermuir Hills in the Scottish Borders, for our choice of venues and our foodie credentials. We have several areas which make fantastic wedding ceremony and reception spaces and we have the flexibility to use each area over the course of your day. As well as our marquee and wood-panelled reception room, we have a smaller country lodge style private room and an exclusive private hillside marquee site. Come and have a look around to see what works for you. We are also licensed for civil and religious ceremonies. Otherwise, the gorgeous rural church of Channelkirk with its views across Lauderdale is just 5 minutes away. Wedding meal and drinks: Fabulous food, we feel, is at the heart of all of the best weddings we’ve ever been to, and Carfraemill can provide just that. We are passionate about creating menus using the very best of locally sourced ingredients. We work hard to give you something stunning but always within the all important wedding day budget you’ve set. As well as the food, we provide everything else needed for a great day: delicious wine and bubbly; beautiful flowers (if required); all tableware; and of course Carfraemill’s warm and focused team. Accommodation for your guests: There is something special about having all of the wedding party gathered in one place for a wedding. If this appeals, we have 10 individually designed, country lodge bedrooms which can be exclusively hired for your wedding party and guests. All bedrooms are stylish yet cosy with immaculate ensuite bathrooms or shower rooms. We also have 2 wonderful cottages just a mile up a country lane behind the hotel.

Happy couple married in August

Amazing venue, amazing day!
I got married here on 17th August 2019 and couldn’t have hoped for a better day. Susan is just the most amazing help, she had everything prepared and organised and made me feel so at ease. The food is just exceptional and the price is so reasonable. If you’re looking for a more personable but high standard venue then Carfraemill is for you!

1st Class Hotel, Staff, Service and Location
I was recently at my brother's wedding at Carfraemill and it was a pleasure from start to finish. Everything about our stay was excellent, particularly the hotel staff. Chris, helped me immensely by printing off my best man speech the night before and if it wasn't for Margaret,we wouldn't have had our buttonholes on right! Nothing was ever too much hassle. We even had breakfast made for one of the self catering lodges and we were late for breakfast and there wasn't a problem. Nothing was ever too much hassle. The Marquee and the Campbell room exceeded my expectations and more. Susan was an excellent wedding planner and gave great support to my brother and his now wife throughout the planning stage and beyond. The food, morning, day and night was of the highest quality especially the food served at the wedding. I honestly could not recommend the hotel enough. Perfect.
