This small, oval-shaped garden covers approximately 300 square metres and is located to the east of Dunnikier House Hotel, running north to south. The boundary walls are made of part-coped rubble, featuring three step-coped ashlar gatepiers at the southwest corner. There is also a pierced ornamental frieze at the top of the wall to the right. Additional coped walls can be found along the walled walk, which runs east to west, also to the east of the garden.
