Country House Accommodation, ideal for visiting
Gardens in South West Scotland

Country House Accommodation - ideal for visiting and touring Gardens in South West ScotlandCosses Country House provides perfect holiday accommodation for Garden Lovers as it is only a short drive from some wonderful Gardens, which are open to the public. South West Scotland possesses some of the loveliest and most varied gardens in Scotland due to the mild oceanic climate, a product of The Gulf Stream's warming influences, and the draining lime-free soils.

Whether you are a keen plantsman or woman, a gardening enthusiast or someone who likes to enjoy the fruits of another's labours, there are numerous gardens to visit in the region. Some are open all year while others only open when the plants and flowers are at their most beautiful.
