Excellent stroll around the gardens, but really interesting audio tour of the house. Takes about an hour in the house, but you can spend longer. The details are stunning. The Chapel is small and personal. The story of Edinburgh tolbooth door is worth asking about.

Such a wonderful home and gardens. We loved the dramatized audio tour. Very clever to have you beep the light on, in each room you want to see. The gardens are lovely, So many beautiful flowers. I know lovely wooded walk as well.
Recommend purchasing your tickets in advance. This is a popular place.
We spent about 2 hours here. But you could spend much more

My partner and I visited the Abbotsford House on a sunny day and had a wonderful time! The Gardens rivaled some of the botanic gardens I have been to, with very well taken care of plants. The indoor guided audio tour was also so much fun! I had picked the actor version and found it so engaging, I definitely learnt so much! The witches trail they have on looked very cool too, but more aimed at younger children. There's lots there for everyone!

What a fabulous place to visit. The gardens were glorious in the sunshine. We got headsets at the house, the narrative was spoken by a lovely Scottish gentleman, it was as if Sir Walter Scot was speaking to you himself. Well worth a visit.

Fascinating place. It would have been helpful to know you need to get tickets at the building at the top of the hill beforehand. The cafe and toilets are all in there as well. Tricky if you are disabled at all. Yet the rooms available to the public in the house are all on one level.
The self-guided tour on ear- phones is excellent.
Splendid gardens with a rich variety of plants.

Fantastic day out, amazing little trails through the Forrest.
Cafe prices are very reasonable and not too expensive at all. Cheap day out for all the family. They even had a kids menu too! Very well priced.
There is also a play park there too near the visitors centre.
Plenty of car parking space.
Gift shop on site where the cafe is.
Fantastic gardens well maintained!
Highly recommend to visit.

Thoroughly enjoyed our visit. So much history & the house is amazing. Gardens were beautiful also. Reasonably priced & staff very welcoming & knowledgeable. Also visited The Witches Corner which was a big hit with my grandson, us adults enjoyed it too 😀

The people working at the estate are passionate about what they do and are very friendly and helpful. It is a beautiful little castle which is full of different styles. But this is something better told by the guides. Definitely a place to visit.

A relatively small house, as not a stately home. But packed with items of interest. Take the Scots Audio tour as it is really good. Gardens beautiful. And Cafe brilliant. (Very good value!) River and wood walks as well
Book for meals as it can get busy.

Magical gardens and very pleasant walks through woods and by the river (with some steep inclines), as well as in the wider location. House has a few rooms open with a great audio guide. Very reasonable annual membership options, great food and all round kid-friendly.
