1745 Cottage Restaurant
The 1745 Cottage Restaurant is situated in the old walled garden and has won a superb reputation for its delicious home made soups and lunches as well as its tempting scones and home baking.
The cheerful attractive interior of the cottage can seat up to 50 people and the patio and walled garden outside take many more. On a sunny day there are few more relaxing places to have lunch or a snack than under the sprawling apple trees in the garden. A wonderful place for children to run around and for parents to eat and enjoy.
The 1745 Cottage was winner of Best Eating Out Place in the Borders (Light lunches) in 2004 and has been awarded a Highly Commended Certificate by Healthy Eating Scotland.
