Dalkeith Country Park

Lovely place to visit in any weather. Beautiful grounds, great little shops. Kids huge playground. Large grasslands (just watch where you walk, some ppl don't pick up after their dogs 💩😖) and lovely creek to sit by and reflect about what life was like 200 yrs ago.

Great shopping. Not cheap but beautiful good quality. Staff v helpful especially when my daughter lost her mobile.

Fantastic day out every time we go here. Food amazing. Shop is just incredible. Staff are all well trained and attentive. This is the place to head to for the perfect day out.

Visited Restoration Shop - very good choice of clothes , knickknacks, food and drink. Welcomed in to restaurant for coffee and scones - best scones we have tasted in months and my coffee was excellent. Staff very pleasant. Recommend. Returned few days later- plate of pancakes, bacon and maple syrup awesome, my wife said beef bagel 'scrummy' - again a triumph.

You know what. We could argue about their car park prices. It is a fantastic place to go dog walking (that's the reason I go anyway) but I think they should look at their pricing. Coming as a family of 5 for the whole day bringing a picnic? £3 is a bargain! Coming to walk your dog in the rain for 45 minutes? £3 is a rip off (imo). Dunno how they fix that. I love the place but have been going elsewhere (usually) since they brought in the pricing. I know others are the same. However, anytime I do go now the place is heaving with people happy (our at least prepared) to pay so maybe I'm in the minority.
