All Seasons Philipburn Hotel

All Seasons Philipburn Hotel is a country house hotel on Linglie Road in Selkirk, in the Scottish Borders. It has manicured gardens, a garden pavilion and a function room, and it runs weddings with its owner-directors.

Why it suits LGBTQ+ couples

The hotel states plainly that same-sex and LGBTQ+ couples are welcome, and it offers a package that can be designed around the couple, with pricing on application. It is a strong fit for couples who want a personal approach, because the owner-directors manage each wedding. It also works for very small parties, including a two-person elopement, as well as larger celebrations.

Ceremonies

Ceremonies take place in the garden pavilion, which is open-air, or in the garden if you prefer. The registrar fee is not included in the packages, so budget for it separately. Ask the hotel what it can arrange for the ceremony itself, and how the pavilion is set up for your date. The owner-directors are the people you will deal with from first enquiry to the day itself.

Receptions and food

The function room seats up to 200 for a wedding breakfast. Packages include a multi-course meal, with a four-course option at higher tiers, plus a finger buffet and disco. Some packages add sparkling wine or Bucks Fizz, and menus are chosen by the couple. In fine weather, drinks and canapes move out to the gardens.

Staying

The hotel has 20 bedrooms. Wedding packages include discounted rates for guests, some packages add an extra night, and bed and breakfast rates include breakfast. The hotel also runs a taxi service to take guests to and from the venue.

Getting there and the area

Selkirk is a Borders town on the Ettrick Water, with Melrose Abbey, Abbotsford and the Eildon Hills close by. Edinburgh is about an hour away by road. The hotel can arrange trips and excursions for guests who travel from further afield, so a wedding here can easily become a few days in the Borders.
