Motorhome Stopovers in Scottish Borders

The Scottish Borders is Walter Scott country — Abbotsford House, which Scott built on the banks of the Tweed and where he lived until his death in 1832, is open to visitors, and the four great Border Abbeys (Melrose, Jedburgh, Kelso and Dryburgh) are each worth a visit in their own right. The River Tweed between Berwick and Kelso is one of Britain's premier salmon rivers, and the Southern Upland Way long-distance path crosses the full width of the region.

Motorhome Stopover Club members share verified overnight stops across the Scottish Borders — a region that often gets driven through on the way to Edinburgh or the Highlands, but rewards those who stop.

Why Choose Motorhome Pub Stopovers in Scottish Borders

Convenient overnight stops:
Motorhome pub stopovers in Scottish Borders can provide a convenient alternative to a traditional campsite, often combining overnight parking with food, drinks and local hospitality. Many pub stopovers have no separate overnight parking charge, although venues may expect visitors to eat or drink at the pub. Always check the individual listing and contact the venue before travelling.

Facilities:
Facilities vary from venue to venue. Some motorhome pub stopovers may offer water, waste disposal, toilets or other useful facilities, while others simply provide somewhere suitable to park overnight. Check each listing for the latest information and facilities available.

The pub stopover experience:
Staying at a pub can be a useful way to break up a journey while enjoying local food, drinks and hospitality. Pub stopovers can also give motorhome and campervan travellers an opportunity to visit smaller towns and villages away from traditional campsites.

Check before travelling:
Opening hours, parking arrangements, facilities and overnight-stay policies can change. We recommend checking the listing, reading recent member reviews and contacting the venue before setting off.
