I wanted to this site as it stated were free to RHS members, there's the to see too. Looked like you needed to book on line but I couldn't see anywhere where you could select that you were an RHS member. I decided to chance it and turn up anyway. All a bit misleading because I was told they don't do an admittance for only, that the garden was free and they don't make anything on the garden. So it shouldn't really single it out that it's free for RHS members if it's free for everyone...? There are three tours a day and I was fortunate to be able to get onto the first of the day. There are toilets and a café with courtyard seating. Very good guide and the lasts about an hour, very informative. No photography allowed within the house. The water wheel wasn't operating due to water issues but was still worth going down the set of steps to see it. Most of the are woodland riverside paths. There is a pond in the and a few floral beds. Very peaceful place. We had a through the today as the weather was dry and sunny. Fairly good paths lead down to a part of the Tweed River and up to the Union Bridge. We spent a good 3½ hours walking through the pathways and around the and about an hour in the small museum on the first floor. There currently is a little bit of excavation works going on, but it didn't really affect the walking. Shame the waterwheel wasn't being demonstrated as promised - it doesn't look like it has been working for a long time. The café is lovely, fairly expensive, but really nice. Our starting point for a of Scotland. After a long tiring journey from SE England we arrived in the Sunshine at a haven of peace & calm. Fabulous site in Patton walled garden. On your stay you have free access to the surrounding park. find not far from Berwick. around the with a treasure hunt and park for children and some interesting information and facts about the water pumping systems developed when the was built. Great along the river tweed, camping and don't miss the ice and the squirrel look out. Café too. Had a great time tours to the which has been restored to its original condition. A classic Palladian style Border’s mansion built around 1750. Adam designed with original Chippendale furniture and extensive artworks. No photography allowed in interior, relaxing cafe in stables block and toilets. Nice place to visit, bit confused at first wether it was open or not, but we once found reception, we had a great of the by a very knowledgeable guide called Wilma. Afterward we wondered around the and down to the river, a very nice day out. Arrived by bus from Berwick which went right up to the house. What a place to visit. We were taken on a by a gentleman who made the very interesting. We then had a round the and along the river, so peaceful. We had lunch in the stables cafe, plenty of light meals to choose from and such friendly staff. Well worth a visit. (You can't take photos in the house) I was a little disappointed with Paxton house. You can only view the if you have booked onto the and as there are only 3 per day the availability isn't good. The formal are not really up to much and the water wheel was not running, and I would guess hasn't for a while. There is a nice looking tearoom but again limited when with the dog as their only allowed in a small room adjacent to the main room plenty of room outside but the weather was against us. Christmas fayre. Lots of animal related products, draws, tombola stands. Spent well, a couple of wins each. Happy with that. 3 of us spent a few quid between us. House felt unlived in, and a cold feeling about it. Beautifully decorated for Christmas all the same. Would support again. day out. Make sure you book a beforehand. Cafe coffee is delicious and their food decent and not overpriced. Very pleasant walks in the grounds. Visited here several times. along the river. are beautiful. Tea room with separate tea room for dog owners. Nice food and drinks, although service was very slow. There is also a gift shop with plants from the (I bought some to bring back to my garden!) It's worth a if you're in the area. The and are beautiful from the exterior. The are massive and you can at your leisure - if you pay £7.50 for tickets. Not sure if you'd even have to pay to be honest, nobody is checking for tickets in the grounds. We weren't able to go inside the as no 'house only' was available, and the tours are only. The tours lasted approx 80 minutes which we didn't have spare. The exterior of the is attractive but fairly plain. The was well executed and included lots of interesting information about the history of the and it's past owners. The starts with the plainer rooms and works it's way round to increasingly ornate ones, finishing at the very impressive picture gallery. The formal are mainly lawned with some flowerbeds around the edges. The cafe serves a good selection of hot and cold food, cakes and drinks. It poured with rain when I visited so I didn't explore the wider grounds. I recommend a to Paxton House. Firstly we had a around the which was very interesting, followed by an afternoon tea in the tearoom which had a vegan option of which I was very grateful. Accommodating of disabled visitors. First visit. Did a of the gardens. Ruby the cocker spaniel enjoyed herself - on lead. £7.50 a ticket. 2 adults total 16.00 Inc fee. Tearoom was good value. If in area - worth a look! We had the most incredible day celebrating our wedding at Paxton House. The venue was stunning and adaptable. Mel was truly wonderful, no job or idea was too big, small or weird for her! She was down with all our suggestions and committed to making them work. We loved that the venue was so ready to let us make our day specific to us - like bringing in an Iranian chef we loved from London to do the catering and having drinks and canapés by the river. We could not have been happier with the whole experience, from start to finish. Thanks to everyone at Paxton for making it such a special day! Gorgeous place to with beautiful grounds. They often have a marquee with stall and unique handmade items. This was a bonus. The coffee shop is very charming and coffee and scones. What a great tour! The is fantastic, nice cafe, staff really nice. The highlight was the tour, very informative lots of things to see and learn, great day out. The chain suspension bridge is worth seeing too, about a mile away, or drive. The highlight of our weekend, a fantastic all round. We arrived later than expected, but they held on and waited to give us a private of - Jim was excellent! Set in a very picturesque setting, with a nice short up to the Union bridge. We would happily come back again and explore more of the grounds. country with dog friendly walks around. There is a dog friendly cafe that serves baguettes and some epic tray bakes with a cup.of coffee. Dog friendly ice cream too..... A Paxton is well worth a visit. I come here every few months for a peaceful and come away with a smile every time. Check out their website for activities and events. They have a cafe and staff are friendly. Interesting crafts in their gift shop. Enjoy!! We had our wedding at Paxton last weekend and what a sensational day it was. From the stunning surroundings, to the beauty of the and most importantly, the amazing Mel who worked tirelessly behind the scenes to make our day run so smoothly. We are so grateful to Mel and the Paxton team who work incredibly hard to keep this beautiful place looking amazing and creating an atmosphere that we will never forget. Thank you so much for everything. Beautiful house. We've thoroughly enjoyed the for 1.5 hours. Very informative. guide Carol was extremely knowledgeable and witty which made the time fly by. I didn't want to leave!
