Netherbyres House

Netherbyres House is a Victorian mansion on the edge of Eyemouth, a harbour town on the Berwickshire coast in the Scottish Borders. It is hired for whole weekends, with nine en-suite bedrooms, a walled garden and interiors that are bold and relaxed rather than formal.

Why it suits LGBTQ+ couples

Netherbyres is a strong fit for couples who want a house party rather than a hotel wedding. Booking gives you the whole house, so there are no other guests to share with and the day can move freely from room to room. The look is playful, with an art deco lounge and bar, and it gives you room to make the day your own.

Ceremonies

You can choose a celebrant or a registrar to lead the ceremony. The venue points couples to a guide on ceremony options in Scotland, which is useful if you are marrying here from elsewhere in the UK or from abroad. Guest numbers are not published, so ask the team about the size of group the house suits.

Receptions and food

Caterers are among the first suppliers couples book, and the venue helps you plan food and drink for the day. Ideas include a spritz station or a martini bar. The art deco lounge and bar and the bright entrance hall give you space to gather before and after the meal, and the walled garden offers fresh air between courses and dancing.

Staying

The house has nine en-suite bedrooms. Because you have exclusive use, your guests can stay on site for a weekend-long celebration, with room allocation planned as part of your final arrangements.

Getting there and the area

Netherbyres is at Eyemouth, TD14 5SE. It is within about an hour of Edinburgh, under two hours from Glasgow and around ten minutes from Berwick-upon-Tweed, which has a mainline railway station. The Berwickshire coast, with its harbours and cliffs, is on the doorstep for photographs, and the harbour at Eyemouth is a short drive from the house.
