Gardens & Grounds

The Gardens and Grounds at Floors are a delight to discover with your family and friends

Considered by many to be the highlight of their visit…
The Gardens at Floors Castle combine one of the finest Victorian Kitchen Gardens in a spectacular Walled Garden with Glasshouses bursting with soft fruit specialist plants, a formal Millennium Garden which features a French-style parterre and a charming summerhouse known as Queen’s House after Queen Victoria took tea here during her visit in 1867.
The 4 acre Walled Garden is a unique showpiece of seasonal colour and interest. The wider Estate Grounds are ideal for walking, cycling, picnicking and enjoying the beautiful countryside of the Scottish Borders.

We are dog friendly! Dogs on leads are very welcome throughout the Grounds, Gardens and both our Giftshops (no dogs inside the Castle please). There is outdoor seating and water points at the Terrace Café and dogs are welcome inside our Courtyard Café so they needn’t be shut in the car.

🏰 Each Gardens & Grounds Day Ticket purchased is valid for seven days from the date of admission.
This means that visitors can enjoy all that Floors has to offer as many times as they like during that period, so if the Scottish weather scuppers your plans to enjoy the gardens or a walk around the estate, you can always come again on a better day.

Families are always welcome and kids go free, so come and stretch your legs, walk the dog and explore our beautiful estate

We had a gorgeous day for our visit and we spent hours here. The gardens are beautiful, with lots to see and plenty of places to sit and reflect. The house was fascinating. The guides were so friendly and incredibly knowledgeable. There are 2 cafes and a gift shop too, as well as kids play areas. Really good value for money.

Lovely grounds but the highlight is the Terrace Cafe. We booked afternoon tea for 4 during a getaway and it surpassed our expectations. Delicious cakes and plenty of tasty sandwiches. Friendly and helpful service. Would definitely return!
