The Grounds and Gardens at Cringletie House Hotel

As you approach Cringletie House for the first time, you'll get a foretaste of its beautiful grounds and gardens - sweeping manicured lawns, acres of mature woodland, grazing sheep, a pitch and putt course and, behind the house, our famous walled garden with its 400-year-old yew hedge.

Explore further and you'll find a delightful river and waterfall, a historic dovecote where we often serve romantic, candle-lit dinners for our guests on request, woodland walks, outdoor sculptures and a croquet lawn.

Guests can play boules or outdoor chess in the walled garden and you may even spot badgers or owls in the woods at dusk. Come here in the Autumn and see the children gather their own conkers from our chestnut trees.

Whether you explore Cringletie's grounds for yourself or just enjoy the delightful views from our bedrooms and public rooms, you'll be uplifted by their beauty, whatever the season.

Cringletie's Walled Garden

The centrepiece of Cringletie's huge walled garden is a stunning yew hedge. It's at least 400 years old, and some people claim it is the oldest in Scotland. The garden is now divided into different parts. One section uis used for growing vegetables which we use in our restaurant. Another part has an orchard and a fruit cage. One whole section of the walled garden is dedicated to outdoor games for our guests, such as boules, and giant chess and draughts.
