Paxton House was built from 1758-1763 and is now run as a charitable trust. You can enjoy a tour of the neo-palladian house, learn about their nationally significant collection of Trotter and Chippendale furniture, or explore the extensive grounds. There is something for everyone, including outstanding exhibitions, play park, family trails, gift shop and tearoom. You can also stay on the estate in the Walled garden caravan park or in one of two lovely self catering cottages.
Visited here several times. Lovely walk along the river. Gardens 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 grounds (I bought some to bring back to my garden!) It's worth a visit if you're in the area.
Our starting point for a tour 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 House walled garden. On your stay you have free access to the surrounding park.
Lovely country house with dog friendly walks around. There is a lovely dog friendly cafe that serves lovely baguettes and some epic tray bakes with a cup.of coffee. Dog friendly ice cream too.....
We went to Paxton house to have a look around. I highly recommed this as a day out, definetly do the tour Jim was amazing. They make getting access in a wheelchair easy, providing you have a strong person to push you over cobbles and loose stone pathway. There is also lift into the main house so seeing the fabulous Chippendale furniture was easy and a joy too. I could not access the upper floor are it is up a spiral staircase, however there is a video available on a comuter screen so I did not miss out on the bedrooms. The tearoom is nice, homemade soups and sandwiches, located in the old stables. The entry fee including the tour is PS15 per adult, if you are registered disabled with a carer, they are granted free entry.
Like many statley homes, Paxton House a stunning setting on the banks of the river Tweed. Easily sign posted from the A1. The house has enjoyed a rather strange history of events from its owners however, its most notable feature is the beautiful Chippendale furniture. Plus they host an Antique Fair 16th to 18th August 2024
Lovely grounds very interesting house shown to us by an extremely knowledgeable guide (Bill). Will definitely be back as there is too much to explore in 1 day.
