A very interesting gem of a place to visit.

If you are in the area of Berwick upon Tweed then Paxton House is a must see destination. I thought I knew about Chippendale the 18th century furniture maker but there is so much more to learn about him here. Lesley our guide was friendly, engaging and extremely knowledgeable about the extraordinary family who built and resided at this lovely house. You won’t be disappointed.

Paxton-style in furnishings and hospitality!

A superlative collection of Chippendale-designed and procured furnishings. Incredibly friendly and welcoming team of people. An excellent guided tour.

Thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Paxton House. On this occasion, we took the guided tour and went on the boat trip to the Union Chain Bridge. The tour is excellent – the guide knows her stuff but wasn’t long-winded about it, and told us some entertaining stories. We went at a sensible pace, so we were able to examine items that interested us. We’d been on the boat trip before, but it’s always different and interesting: this time, we saw cormorants, egrets, little grebe and a merganser. Food and drink in the cafe is always good; and they have a dog-friendly room if you don’t want to sit out in the courtyard. We’ve been before to look at the gardens and attend events, but still have to see the exhibitions in the galleries – we’ll be going back soon! NB -the house visit includes a spiral staircase and other steps. There’s a lift at one point, but it would be advisable to ask about access before booking the tour.
