Great wee place to relax after a walk in the local area , on the day we visited it was almost 30deg so opted to sit in the courtyard as the fans in the main room were struggling to cope so we had a wonderfully sunny cullen skink and cheese and chutney sandwich combo with the locally sourced appleade to wash it down Sadly the cafe was closed. However the grounds and gardens were excellent. Perhaps a little steep £10/person for entry but we enjoyed it none the less This is a very enjoyable experience. We paid £10 for entrance. It is an oasis of peace and quiet. One thing to note was the nesting oystercatchers, lovely to see them. There is plenty to see and enjoy and there are seats to have a rest. We made a booking for the cafe and it was excellent. It seemed relatively new and was fairly busy but it was a Saturday. There is also a souvenir shop and the lady on duty was very friendly. You can walk the estate but keep clear of the private castle. We really enjoyed our visit and will visit again. Wow,what a find this place was.Even driving up to it was nice.The entrance was extremely inviting.We arrived at the car park and thought i wonder what lies beyond.....Beautiful gardens,lovely staff and just a nice way to spend an afternoon.Unfortunately we visited on a day the cafe was closed so couldn't sample to food but it gets great reviews.Definately worth a visit on a nice day as in regards to the it's pretty much all outside. We were most impressed with this garden! It’s was one of the most amazing outdoor we have seen. An incredible variety of plants, the layout that just works so well, the endless blooms and fruits… wow! How did they do it? Lunch at the cafe was great too and esp to take a little break from the wind and light rain. Definitely make a reservation though so not to be disappointed as it’s a small place. Recommend to use Google maps for Gordon Castle Walled and then just follow signs on the road once you exit the roundabout. Asked for a weak latta, perfectly presented with a delicious blueberry bakewell. Gardens were in bloom, lavender smells amazing, bees were busy too. Loved stroll on a very hot, sunny afternoon. Interesting history of development of garden, good to see different styles of planting, both honouring the past but challenging the future. Dogs welcome. Would like to have seen a few more plants on sale and I would like to return to see how the continues to develop. Our second visit to these wonderful gardens, and we will keep coming back for more. The gardens themselves are beautifully kept, with a vast variety of flowers, plants, fruit, and veg - and a large lavender field, and two wildflower meadows, and more. The café (closed on a Monday and Tuesday) offers food using the bounty from the garden, and the gift shop stocks many a souvenir, gift, with jams and chutneys and their absolutely mouth-watering apple juice (again, sourced straight from the garden, 100% apples) and cider. You can buy bundles of seasonal fruit and veg that are harvested weekly, at very reasonable prices. The staff are so pleasant, and the gardeners can be seen tending to the all throughout the day. The toilet facilities are charming, clean, and offer hand lotion marked with a label from the gardens themselves and it smells DIVINE. A big bonus for us is that the area is very sheltered and warm, being surrounded by walls and then trees outside. It gives a very relaxing atmosphere. Until next time!
