   This garden is stunning one of a very few I’ve visited that looks even better when you arrive as opposed to what you see on tv or in books. So it really worth a visit and I planned a mini break around it (and nearby Hodnet too.) It’s a story of immaculate vistas at every turn and a riotous hot garden. What makes this garden so brilliant is although it’s compartmentalised the hedges and walls are low enough to embrace the outside spaces enabling a sense of flow rather than claustrophobia. I sense it looks amazing anytime of the year and it’s definitely worth a revisit.

   A lovely garden to wander in for an hour or so. The formal garden is accessible, whereas the informal garden is on a slope with uneven ground. A restaurant providing snacks or meals is available with indoor and outdoor seating.

   Beautiful gardens. Plenty of benches to sit on as you walk around so you can really take your time. Well worth a visit.

   Lovely gardens set out in a series of rooms. With the very hot dry weather some of the plants were a bit stressed and some concerted dead-heading needed on the roses and other blooms as lots of them were going over. Nevertheless some lovely specimens and fabulous scent. Lots of beautiful vistas from well thought out seating. The man on the entrance till was unnecessarily abrupt. "Are you by any chance an RHS partner garden?" Answer "I'm delighted to say we are absolutely not!" Cafe mediocre and much of crockery and cutlery not properly washed - a bit grubby. I had pitta and hummus with salad - the pitta was stale and brittle around the edges (I think it had been microwaved to warm it up, and it had been over-done. The salad was disappointing - a small spoon of coleslaw, a small spoon of cold pasta and one small piece of the centre of a lettuce heart and one tomato. Over priced. Some of the serving staff were very personable and others bizarrely reluctant to help - "Could you please tell me what in the the quiche?" - answer - "No!" [- pause, and silence from us both - ] "...I guess I can ask the kitchen staff"

   This was a fabulous experience. The house and grounds are lovely but not open to the public, but the garden is a genuine beauty with so much variation, new delights at every turn, and so much to explore. This is a real gem, and I can't wait to return again. The food was also first class, with a massive plater with the most amazing pate, M+S bread, mixed salad, pasta, and rice salad as well. The elderflower sparkling water was delicious. The plater was well worth the £12.50.

   Even a much needed wet morning did not dampen our annual enjoyment of these varied and delightful gardens in full bloom. On arrival we were thoughtfully loaned umbrellas for the visit; though there are many comfortable places to sit and shelter on your route around. You can dry out while enjoying a very tasty visit to the delightful tearoom. The floral spectacle at this time of year never fails to amaze. See you next year.

   This place is amazing. The flowers were stunning. Such a beautiful and relaxing place to be. Lots of seating available to just sit and take in the beauty of it all. Excellent tea room with lovely food and home made cake. Really recommend a visit here. Saw this place on the TV and thought how beautiful it looked but nothing compared to seeing it in reality. Will definitely return.
