The visitors centre is fully accessible with a lift to the restaurant and disabled toilet on both ground and first floor. The main house is accessed via a pathway from visitors centre and only the ground floor is open to the public this is fully accessible too. There is a beautiful little chapel in the grounds but there is one step into the building. The walled garden is gorgeous there are several pathways steps and doors in and around the walled garden but you can use a perimeter pathway to access different levels. The path to the river Tweed is very steep so not really accessible for either wheelchair users or anyone with mobility problems. Please look at the website in the section marked plan your visit for further information on accessibility.

Anything else you wish to tell us?

This offers a most interesting and enjoyable day out especially if the weather is good to allow you to enjoy the gardens and grounds. You can take the train to Tweedbank from Edinburgh but Abbotsford House is about a mile and a half walk from the station.
