Mellerstain House & Gardens – Una joya arquitectónica y paisajística en las fronteras escocesas

Mellerstain House & Gardens, situado en el pintoresco paisaje de las fronteras escocesas, es una de las más bellas casas señoriales georgianas de Gran Bretaña. Esta impresionante propiedad, conocida por su arquitectura excepcional, sus jardines meticulosamente diseñados y su fascinante historia, atrae a visitantes de todo el mundo.

# La historia de Mellerstain House
Los orígenes de Mellerstain House se remontan al siglo XVIII. La casa fue construida en dos fases: la parte inferior se construyó en la década de 1720 según un diseño del renombrado arquitecto William Adam, mientras que la finalización definitiva tuvo lugar en la década de 1770 a manos de su famoso hijo, Robert Adam. Robert Adam, uno de los arquitectos más importantes de la era georgiana, dejó en Mellerstain House su inconfundible legado arquitectónico, visible en muchos detalles del edificio.

La casa ha servido como residencia de la familia Baillie durante siglos, y aún hoy se mantiene en propiedad privada. Los interiores reflejan la elegancia y sofisticación de la era georgiana, ofreciendo una mirada al estilo de vida aristocrático de siglos pasados.

# Características arquitectónicas
Mellerstain House es una de las pocas obras completas de Robert Adam y es uno de los mejores ejemplos de su arquitectura neoclásica. La fachada impresiona por su diseño simétrico, mientras que el interior de la casa cautiva con elaborados trabajos en estuco, elegantes salas y detalladas decoraciones en el techo.

Destacan especialmente:
- El Gran Salón – Una obra maestra de la arquitectura interior georgiana con un techo magnífico, paneles de pared pintados y muebles artísticos.
- La Biblioteca – Una impresionante colección de libros en un entorno magnífico que invita a quedarse.
- El Comedor y los Dormitorios – Con muebles originales y tapices que reflejan la elegancia del siglo XVIII.

Además de estos elaborados interiores, Mellerstain House alberga una importante colección de obras de arte, incluyendo retratos, pinturas históricas y muebles exquisitos de diversas épocas.

# Los premiados jardines y parques
Los extensos Jardines de Mellerstain son un verdadero paraíso para los amantes de la jardinería y complementan a la perfección la belleza arquitectónica de la casa. Fueron cuidadosamente diseñados y mantenidos en los siglos XIX y XX, por lo que hoy en día se encuentran entre los jardines más bellos de Escocia.

Entre los puntos destacados de los jardines se incluyen:
- Los Jardines en Terrazas italianos – Con parterres geométricamente diseñados, estatuas artísticas y elegantes corrientes de agua.
- El Lago y el Paisaje del Parque – Un pintoresco lago con un entorno romántico que invita a pasear y relajarse.
- Árboles y Plantas raras – El amplio terreno alberga una variedad de árboles y plantas exóticas que despliegan todo su esplendor en diferentes épocas del año.

Especialmente en primavera y verano, los jardines florecen en todo su esplendor, mientras que el otoño tiñe el paisaje de cálidos tonos dorados y rojos.

# Un destino perfecto para amantes de la cultura y la naturaleza
Mellerstain House & Gardens no solo es una obra maestra arquitectónica, sino también un lugar lleno de historia y belleza natural. La propiedad atrae a una gran variedad de visitantes, desde los interesados en la historia y la arquitectura hasta los amantes de la jardinería y los paseantes que desean disfrutar de la tranquila atmósfera.

Además de las visitas regulares, en el lugar se realizan regularmente eventos culturales, exposiciones y visitas guiadas por los jardines, que enriquecen aún más la experiencia.

# Conclusión

Outstanding house designed by William and Robert Adam. Magnificent Adam interiors, with beautiful furnishings. Visits to the castle are by guided tour only - the tour was very interesting and the guide was well documented. The gardens are also nice.

Lovely, slightly dated holiday cottage’s but with a load of character. Mellerstain House itself is very impressive and the grounds are fantastic. ( the ‘country walks’ could do with a bit of a tidy up ) …. dead branches, nettles, and very uneven ground made the walls a bit hazardous at times. But all in all very enjoyable.

Stayed in one of the estate cottages for three nights. This gave us the added bonus of access to the garden once other visitors had left. The house interior is wonderful and the guided tour was excellent. Lovely small café in a beautiful flower- filled courtyard. Soup, Toasties and a fair selection of cakes and scones. The walk around the lake is worthwhile for the beautiful view back to the house. No advance booking for tickets so not sure if they ever have to turn people away.

First stop, the cafe. Not a great deal of choice but the soup we had was excellent. We walked to the lake and back. It's a bit of a climb . The house tour is a must and our guide was marvellous, full of knowledge. I highly recommend a visit.

We visited the gardens and cafe. Didn't have time too take house tour. It's a stunning building in a beautiful setting. The gardens are very nicely laid out and well-maintained. A surprise for me, never knew this was here, well with a visit. Plenty interesting walks to be had. Cafe was at a nice spot in lovely courtyard near the front of the house, with a couple of picnic benches outside and plenty of indoor seating. Menu simple, soup, basic toasties, and a number of very nice looking cakes and scones.

A lovely place with very colourful gardens on the terraced areas. There is a nice wooded walk down to the lake and around it. They are dog friendly in the grounds, but you need to keep your dog on the lead at all times. Cafe serves very nice cheese scones too. The opening times are a bit confusing as the website is a year out of date (2023).

We enjoyed our coffee cake and Scones. Don't be fooled to think they are closed as at first glance it looked very dark and empty but getting a bit closer noticed some guests through the window. The grounds are amazing. Loved the fountain out front and on arrival out you got the sense that back in the 1900s that possibly the servants would have been there to usher you out of your carriage and inside. Just a beautiful place.

Amazing place , castle is absolutely stunning. Guided tour... personally think for some it might be a little bit to much. When the tour started we find out it will take around 1h and 40 minutes. You should see my husband face 🤣🤣 thanks God it easnt that bad it goes quite well but maybe it's worth to consider two types of tours not everyone want to leasten about every paint in the castle and the group I was with end up with people leaving in the middle. It was great that people could sit in most of the rooms . Gardens beautiful but unfortunately unlucky for the weather

We have visited many houses throughout Britain, and without a doubt this is the best maintained, beautiful house we have ever been to. The guide was absolutely fantastic and made the tour very informative and amusing. The cafe was very reasonable and the scones were first class with masses of butter, jam and cream. An all over 5 star reasonably priced experience and well worth every penny. All the staff in the house and cafe were very friendly and welcoming.
