From June to the middle of August, guests are shown to the beat but the boatmen do not accompany them permanently throughout the day they will however be on hand to help if required. For lunches, either The Roxburghe Hotel can provide packed lunches or alternatively, you can visit the Terrace Café situated in the grounds of Floors Castle.
