The house is well-publicised for its connection with William Adams, who designed part of the building, and his son Robert who completed it and designed the interiors, and often the actual experience is an anti-climax - but not here! In fact the actual is far...More

My friend and I recently toured Mellerstain House. What a treat! To those nay-sayers who found the rooms too much the same, I say "yes, all stunningly beautiful". It was a real treat to see Adams interiors which are so light, bright, and colorful. Different...More

Our 4th stay at Mellerstain, and as usual we had an amazing time. We stayed in the clock house cottage on this occasion and just like next door in the courtyard cottage we arrived to a spotless cottage. The addition of Wi-Fi was an added...More

Make sure you have wellies or waterproof boots as the paths round the lake are very muddy. For not a lot of money the pathways could be made far more pleasant and accessible to all. Unlikely the Scottish climate is ever going to get less...More
