"We have just had our second stay at Head Gardener's House, it made Christmas absolutely wonderful, the house is immaculate, so perfect and so clean, we enjoyed the lovely walks, and shopping in Kelso, great shops. Such a happy and relaxed Christmas. Thank you."

"We’ve just spent an absolutely glorious weekend at the Head Gardeners House at Floors Castle. Everything was just perfect - warm, comfortable , a very high level of luxury. We even received birthday cards and a bottle of fizz! "

"A delight anytime of the year. The estate are wonderful at ensuring your stay is memorable. We have booked again already. Thank you Crabtree and Crabtree."

"We had another fabulous stay at the Head Gardener’s House. It is so beautifully decorated and always immaculately clean."

"I simply want to thank you for such a splendid stay at the Head Gardener's House at Floors Castle. It was simply superb. Whilst we might visit there again next autumn, I will be looking through your other properties for a spring break during the next few weeks."

"We had a wonderful time. A fantastic base to explore the Scottish Borders and Northumberland. And what an amazing property - we especially loved the garden."

"We had a really lovely time. The cottage was exceptionally clean, comfortable & luxurious, we loved being in the walled garden and it was superb having the garden to ourselves, being able to wander around peacefully and really appreciate the beauty of a classic walled garden at it's best was the highlight of our holiday.  All the staff we came into contact with at Floors Castle were really friendly and helpful, our particular thanks to the housekeeper for doing such a great job, so nice to arrive to a self catering property so immaculately clean, we also appreciated the welcome pack and all the Noble Isle toiletries provided for our use. We found the service of Crabtree & Crabtree to be absolutely excellent and will definitely book with you again. All in all a great holiday."

"Yes, once again we had a great stay there. It really is a very special property."

"We absolutely adored the cottage and garden. It felt like an honour that we were entrusted with the beautiful garden in the evenings! Also a big thank you to the housekeeper as the cottage was in perfect condition."

"We had a wonderful stay and left a thank you card as the property really has been beautifully renovated and decorated with so much thought having been put into every room, providing anything and everything we might need.  It's like a luxurious home as opposed to a holiday rental and we had a wonderful Christmas week there in such a beautiful quiet setting."

"Wow!!!! What can I say. The Head Gardener's House was amazing.The kitchen had more equipment in it than mine at home. The beds were so comfy. We didn't want to come home. We got a ticket to allow us into the walled gardens and grounds at anytime, the colours were fab. And we got a discounted rate into the castle itself. We used the Cafe quite a lot and also the ready meals, all were excellent. As you can probably tell, we had a wonderful time. Thank you everyone."

"We had a wonderful week. The cottage was beautifully decorated and clean. Everything you could want was there. The beds were extremely comfortable. Think it was possibly the nicest cottage we have ever stayed in. The food was excellent in the Terrace cafe and staff there and at the Castle, which we visited, were very friendly and helpful. It was wonderful looking out on the Walled Garden and be able to have a walk there and in the grounds when everyone had gone home. All in all it was perfect. We will visit again. Thank you Crabtree & Crabtree and all on the Floors Castle estate. "

"Great cottage. Wow factor & lovely location to visit the borders amazing County Towns. Will be back!"

"We absolutely loved our stay again at Floors (6th visit). We’ve been in Winter, Spring and Autumn and it’s just a wonderful place to be. The house is truly comfortable, extremely stylish and beautifully maintained. Excellent helpful staff and this fabulous house ensures we will return. So much to do in the area from castles and houses to fabulous beach walks at Bamburgh and an easy Sunday drive into Edinburgh to visit the Portrait Gallery and have some lunch in Leith."

"We had an outstanding time in The Head Gardeners House. Great walks around. The house is amazing. Crabtree was brilliant,not just a number or faceless people. The people in Kelso were welcoming and friendly.The shopkeepers were excellent,so much better than the normal high street. Good market in the square on Saturday. One complaint was that the week was not long enough. Booked yet again for next year!"

"Our recent stay in Head gardeners house at floors castle was superb.

Outstandingly set within the walls of the garden, head gardeners house was stunningly appointed with stylish decor and furnishings whilst still retaining a homely feel. 

A warm welcome for our dogs Rosa and Molly who loved the grand raised dog bed! 

Superb autumn colour on walks within the grounds.

All in all a lovely stay."

"I wanted to let you know what a wonderful time we had at the Head Gardener’s House. I am very picky when it comes to holiday accommodation, and spend hours researching to make sure we book a nice place, but the House at Floors surpassed anywhere we have stayed previously. We both love interior design and are keen gardeners, so when we arrived and explored the house and garden we had huge smiles on our faces! It was a real privilege to stay there, not least the bonus of being able to wander round the walled garden with a glass of wine every evening. I really can’t praise it enough, and we are already planning a return visit next year, as we don’t think we will find a better place anywhere. Many thanks to all involved."

"We had the most wonderful week. A terrific house – immediately felt like home – quality and comfort were spot on.  The location was to die for and what a privilege it was to be able to have the walled garden to ourselves early morning and late pm.  An added bonus was the staff ( garden and cafe/restaurant) all were so helpful and friendly. Overall a truly memorable week – we will look to be back at a different time of the  year to experience the gardens as it changes throughout the year"

"We can’t say enough good things about our stay at this wonderful home. We’ve never stayed in such a lovely rental and in such an idyllic location. The quality of the interior was excellent and the attention to detail just as important. Everything was well thought out and planned and the hospitality a Duchess would provide. We loved our walks around the gardens and grounds in the evenings when everyone else had gone home and we enjoyed watching the baby deer and bunnies in the paddock over the hedge. We loved it so much we didn’t go out to eat at night and enjoyed delights from the cafe for our dinners. We will certainly return, it was totally relaxing and stress free. "

"As all of your guests have already said, this place is very special. We absolutely loved it to bits. Both the house and grounds were perfect. Riverside walks before breakfast and a very early morning rise to really catch the dawn chorus are two vivid memories. We enjoyed spotting the hares and watching the setting up and competitors for the Horse Trials. We didn’t know the area at all and relished exploring the rivers and the ruins."

"We had a most wonderful stay at the Head Gardener’s House which is comfortably furnished and very well equipped.  Although it was still outside of the season, we enjoyed the peace and tranquility of the place, the walled garden and the grounds of Floors Castle.  We would love to come back when Floors Castle is open!"

"A warm welcome awaits your visit to Head Gardener's House, Floors Castle. Any time of year you enjoy an individual experience in this beautiful part of the world. A quality break away which we shall be looking to do again very soon."

"We had the most fabulous week at the Head Gardener’s House. It was beautifully done with every need thought of, altogether an enormous treat and we were able to rest and relax in great comfort. We hope to be back with you at some point in the near future and thank you all for making the whole experience so positive and stress free."
