Moat Brae

Moatbrae House and gardens where J.M.Barrie played as a boy , and inspired him to write Peter Pan, has recently been renovated from falling into ruins. It was recently voted one of the top 50 coolest places for kids in the world to visit. The House has been restored and is mostly accessible. A bright and airy café has been added overlooking the river, and the gardens have been restored, some areas of which are accessible.Lots of things for kids to do, but we were just big kids for the day! I found some of the garden too steep to negotiate with my wheelchair, although the gardener came out and kindly offered to push me round. There are lifts to all floors, Some areas were tight to negotiate in the house, but it is a very old house! Staff in the café kindly offered to move furniture so we could sit overlooking the river and gardens. There is a charge to look around the house, but necessary companions enter for free. Entry to the gardens is free till the end of March if you purchase something in the very reasonably priced café. All the staff are volunteers, and went above and beyond to ensure we had a magical visit 🧚🏻‍♂️🧚🏻🧚🏻
