Floors Castle Concerts

We had an excellent day at Floors Castle, last visited in 2013 so great to be back again. Really good grounds with a superb walled garden and a walk down to the river. We had a lovely lunch in the cafe too. Looking round the castle was also fascinating.

This is not the cheapest houses to attend. Full price 19.50, but we used our historic house pass. The house is still in use with some areas open to the public. Some lovely rooms. Speak the guides to get most out of your visit they were all lovely and very helpful with information. Don't be afraid to ask. Watchbthe film at the end this shows what else the team are trying to do and achieve. The gardens are also quite nice, with an informal planting in a formal design. Some of which could be replicated at home. We decided to walk back to the car via the Riverside walk. I would strongly recommend walking shoes, there were some muddy areas and long stretches over grassland. I do have to say that whilst there is a small stretch with the river in view I wouldn't exactly call it a Riverside walk. Though it is a nice walk. It is well signposted and the map given on entry was useful. There was another walking route we didn't do. Arrived at 10.30 and left about 16.00 Hope this helps.

I wasn't so bothered about the interior of the Castle (though the bird room is something else!) but I enjoyed finding out about the working estate and the exterior/shape of the building is amazing. Finally the walled garden is spectacular! I'm here in July and the borders are some of the prettiest swathes of colour I've ever seen. I'll definitely try to come back to the gardens.

This is the most amazing historical stately home ever. The Duke and his family live in the house and also after the visitor go they get the whole house back. Lots of helpful friendly knowledgeable staff to hand. The cafe have beautiful tasty food. Well presented gift shop. Nice to see a mix of ages in the staff from the young to older people. The walk to the river is great. If in the area please visit as its so worth the wow factor. My photos done do it justice

What a lovely place. The terrace cafe is wonderful - even the crockery is amazing. The cakes are delicious but the savoury lunch options are a bit fancy for simple folk like us. Thankfully the weather was good, as people with dogs have to sit outside. We had a really nice walk along the river Tweed and got a really good view of the castle. Definitely worth a visit if you are in the borders or Northumberland.
