A really grand day out - interesting location with fantastic formal gardens and wider grounds that provide opportunities for x decent walk. The cafe was good value. Even better if - i think more could have been made of the great contribution made by the Fire Brigade made in the development of the gardens - the house gave opportunity for that - maybe a future venue for a fire brigade museum in the future. Oh and the plant centre was really well priced with great stock. We certainly will return.

Very beautiful gardens. Lots of colour and well laid out. Wonderful views across the countryside too. Delicious breakfast seated in a covered, outside area, with a lovely fountain in the centre ⛲ Well worth a visit.

If you love visiting gardens then this is well worth a trip. Beautifully designed with lovely trails to follow (Good map provided). The main gardens are just amazing too with a great variety of plants. The house has a shop and also a second hand book shop. By the entrance is a nice cafe, which serves the usual teas, coffees, cakes & snacks. Overall a great day out and definitely will be visiting again.

Beautiful grounds and gardens. Maintained to a high standard. Plants available to purchase and a lovely cafe and restaurant too, serving healthy, clean, meals and drinks. Good access for disabilities too and dogs (on a lead) are welcome. Highly reccomended. Easy location to access.

Beautiful walled gardens of roses and various flowers. The aroma of roses is delicious as you go through each garden area. Well cared for by the staff. The cafe has a variety of cakes to have with tea/coffee sit in or outside. Relax on a deckchair and enjoy the sunshine.
