Welcome
Situated
2.5 miles from Peebles town centre on the B7062, Kailzie Gardens in the
Scottish Borders are open 7 days a week throughout the year.
In their seasons, including the display of Snowdrops, Daffodils and sheets of Bluebells, the Gardens provide a rich variety of colour and charm for both the keen gardener, and for the visitor simply wanting to enjoy a beautiful garden in peaceful surroundings
Apart
from the gardens, principal attractions for a day out include live viewing
of the Tweed Valley ospreys, a gift shop,
tearoom, licensed restaurant, Children's
Corner, putting green, bait- and fly-fishing ponds, a private 2½ mile
stretch on the River Tweed for fly fishing, and a picnic area.
In the summer months many people choose Kailzie and the restaurant as a venue for their wedding.
We also have a three bedroom self catering cottage in the grounds that is available for letting all year round, often used by mountain bikers looking for accommodation near Glentress, and of course, bird-watchers.
And scheduled for spring 2008 we are planning a new bunkhouse, sleeping 16-18 people, which will include secure storage and bike washing facilities. Please contact us for more details.
Kailzie is not a National Trust garden, but is privately owned and run by the family.
We hope you will enjoy it with us.
In
2005, the Tweed Valley Osprey Project won the The New Ways Partnership
Award for Natural Resource Enhancement (including the historic environment),
sponsored by Scottish Natural Heritage and Forestry Commission Scotland.
