Cozy Drawing Room

The Drawing Room was such a cozy spot to unwind after a day of exploring. Sitting by the fire with a book in hand, I truly felt like I was part of history. It was a perfect place to relax and reflect.

Traquair House offers a unique and historical experience, making it a magical wedding venue filled with charm and attentive service. While the beauty of the grounds and the friendly staff made our stay enjoyable, the breakfast service left much to be desired in terms of timing and food temperature. Overall, the historic ambiance is a definite highlight, but there are aspects of the service that could use improvement.
