Sitting in the walled garden within the grounds of Floors Castle, it encapsulates the best of country living. Dating right back to 1815 and now renovated to an exceptionally high standard throughout, guests can be assured a very special stay in this former Head Gardener’s House.
The ground floor opens up to a main hall and staircase with impeccable finishes by Lewis and Wood, setting the scene for the quality throughout the rest of the house.
The drawing room is beautifully appointed with deep, generous sofas and elegant furnishings along with fabrics from Osborne & Little, Lewis & Wood and Romo which add warmth and vibrancy to the space.
The kitchen is wonderfully light and bright with integrated units giving a sleek streamlined look along with a dining area which merges classic heritage tones with the odd dash of colour for a perfectly in-vogue finish. A downstairs boot room/drying room is a versatile space - perfect for dogs and the storage of outdoor gear.
Upstairs the quality continues into two sumptuous bedrooms - one with en-suite and one with adjoining bathroom, each generously proportioned with opulent emperor size beds for that added touch of luxury and wonderful views over the Walled Garden and Millennium Garden.
Head outdoors and guests have private use of the four acre Walled Garden outside formal opening hours. With the magnificent Floors Castle setting and access to fabulous walking within the park grounds and on the banks of the River Tweed, it may prove hugely difficult to venture anywhere else!
