Nice garden, it is owned by national trust there are some nice sections, like vegetable garden and old tree. There is plenty of space to park, at the moment there is no coffee shop or anything which is a slight disappointment.

Friendly staff and nice place to spend a few hours walking around. Will definitely be going back in the summer to see it come to life with lots of different plant life. The NTS owned property is beautiful. Sadly two neighbours adjoining the property have taken it to throw their rubbish over their back fences and cause an eyesore. Would like to think the council will force them to pay to clean it up as it ruins the view at that side of the riverbank.

We visited at probably the best time of year to go as the Rhododendrons were in full flower and were spectacular. The garden is essentially a woodland area with a walled garden and pretty flower beds. No cafe, just hot drinks at entrance and loos

The car park is a good size. The member of staff work in a small hut but are very happy and helpful. There is only one toilet which is kept clean and tidy. Geilston house is unfortunately closed but you can see from a plaque outside how it would have looked when the family lived here. They grow there own fruit and vegetable in the kitchen garden that you can buy during certain time of the year. There's a few paths that are easy to follow but tree roots/grass cover a large part of the paths and it makes it a bit uneven and slippy in the wet. There's a small play area made of wood and there's a few picnic tables dotted about as well. The walled gardens are very well looked after and there a few benches about to enjoy the quiet. There is no cafe but you can get tea/coffee/ice cream/crisps from staff at the hut.

Beautiful and relaxing. Worth a visit anytime. The spring bulbs and other flowers, with with hedges and trees still awakening give great views all around the estate. Clear signage gives a brief detail of the use of the buildings and ruins. Woodland trails allow a peaceful walk beside the gentle river.
