With several elegant and individually styled holiday cottages available to C&C guests, Kailzie Gardens invites you to relax, reconnect, and explore the grounds with unique after-hours access. 

Kailzie Gardens comprises a variety of formal and natural garden styles which evolve throughout the year. Here you can unwind with a sense of close connection to the natural world – whether the first snowdrops of the year are springing into life, the rhododendrons are blooming, or the autumn colours are at their most vibrant. At its heart is the 19th-century walled garden, featuring one of the oldest surviving Mackenzie and Moncur glasshouses which has recently been lovingly restored. The garden is sure to fascinate gardening enthusiasts, boasting traditional vegetable patches, a thriving rose garden, and a famed laburnum arch. 

Kailzie Gardens serves as a unique venue for a wide range of events. Whether you’re planning a wedding, retreat, or family gathering, the estate provides stunning backdrops and intimate settings. The peaceful walled garden, with its carefully clipped hedges and elegant flower displays, is perfect for outdoor ceremonies or private celebrations. For larger events, the estate’s grounds and facilities offer ample space and flexibility, ensuring that any occasion is both memorable and seamless. 

Kailzie Gardens is not just about relaxation – it also offers plenty of activities for all ages. Families can enjoy the wildlife and nature trails that wind through the grounds, spotting red squirrels and keeping an eye out for diverse birdlife. The estate features an 18-hole putting green, pétanque rinks, and fly fishing along a private stretch of the River Tweed. Seasonal events such as the Snowdrop Festival and guided garden tours also form part of the calendar of activities on offer throughout the year. 

Situated in the heart of Tweeddale in the Scottish Borders, Kailzie Gardens is just a short drive from Peebles, a historic market town known for its arts, cafés, and views of the River Tweed. The estate is within easy reach of other historic towns such as Melrose and Galashiels, offering plenty of opportunities for visitors to explore the local shops and restaurants.
