Battle star – Historic Drawing Room seconds from capital

Newbattle Abbey’s Drawing Room

Make no bones about it, Newbattle Abbey’s Drawing Room has one of the most amazing ceilings we’ve laid eyes on!

The Victorian venue, which was founded in 1140, is set in 125 acres of beautiful parkland and is drenched in history. As it’s located just seven miles from Edinburgh city centre, it’s convenient for many but feels very tranquil. Packages from £35 per head based on 60 guests.
