Hidden gem. You wouldn't know it was there! Very friendly staff. Unusual garden with little nooks, wooded area and formal lawn. All well looked after. Lovely little cafe, excellent lemon and blueberry loaf!
Pleasant gardens to stroll around but some areas which are in need of a little TLC. Small undercover cafe area, good service and tasty snacks/ cakes. The classical music was a nice added touch.
Lovely garden to visit and have a light lunch. Been several times to see how it evolves and get inspiration for our own garden
The garden is naturally wild with winding footpaths. Some lovely rosé displays (mid June) maybe worth going back in two months to see how it's changed. The out door tables are lovely to sit and eat at weather permitting. Food and drinks lovely as are the people serving.
We had a lovely day here today in this pretty cottage garden. Well worth a visit. It reminded me of the secret garden with lots of surprise nooks and crannies. The food and cakes are home made and delicious too. Also it is dog friendly and Daisy thoroughly enjoyed her visit.
Having had experience of many gardens I was somewhat disappointed with this one. It was really more of a woodland walk than a colourful display of planting. I appreciated the wildness of the garden and children may enjoy the mystic of passing through iron gates and walking down narrow paths but if you are keen on colourful planting rather than shrubs and trees, I couldn't recommend it.
We visited the garden on bank holiday Monday (May). What a stunning garden and a must visit for cottage garden lovers. We stayed for nearly three hours and walked around the garden twice (even though it was raining) as there was just to much to take in on the first round. Drinks and cakes available in the garden as well which just made the experience even better. The owners are also a delightful couple and happy to give gardening advice. We left with a list of new ideas for our garden and we are now looking forward to revisiting in summer. Highly recommended!!
