Gretna Hall Hotel

The Gretna Hall Hotel has retained an historic feel helped by the Blacksmith's Courtyard where even now hundreds still flock to be married. All through the summer months you can expect to see horse-drawn carriages and champagne corks popping as bridal parties stroll throught the exquisitely kept gardens. Less than a mile is the English Border. The Lake District is a pleasant day trip where excursions by cruise boat and steam train can be arranged by the hotel. The Scottish Borders' country towns of Jedburgh and Melrose are also close by, with Edinburgh, under an hour by train, making it a surprisingly convenient sightseeing and shopping trip. The hotel was built in 1710 and is the original marriage house in Gretna Green. The hotel is situated in the heart of Gretna Green being the ideal base to explore South West Scotland and the Lake District.
