Welcome to the Grantshouse Cafés!

The Cafes > Cedar Cafe > Farm Fayre > The Fuschia Centre

Welcome... to the 
Fuchsia Centre, Tea Room and Self-catering Holiday Accommodation at
Houndwood!

Situated just south of Grantshouse, beside the A1 at Houndwood.

This charming cottage Tea Room offers a warm welcome to local residents and travellers alike!

There's ample parking space, a secluded garden and the added attraction of the wonderful fuchsia plants available from this specialist Grower from Easter to September.

The charming self-contained flat above the cafe is also available as a quiet and homely self-catering holiday home or if you prefer, enjoy the Bed and Breakfast service available.

The Fuchsia Centre and tea rooms are run by the Argent family, Les, Heather and Helen. 

Les is the gardener and always pleased to talk to visitors about fuchsias and help them to make the right choice for their own garden. 

Whether you want an tender, indoor plant for your greenhouse or a hardy type to survive in all weathers, there are over 10,000 varieties of fuchsia to choose from although not quite all of them are here at Houndwood! 

Heather is the cook and provides delicious home made soups, toasties, scones, buns, cakes and other goodies to go with freshly made teas or coffee and locally produced honey is also or sale.

Her daughter Helen has great artistic talent and an eye for a charming variety of carefully chosen gifts and curios. 

They include garden tools & decorations, accessories & greetings cards, candles, toiletries, jewellery, glassware & china as well as a few attractive hand knits and embroidered and felted items, including her own 'Braw Bright Bootees' for babies!
