My family and I had a fantastic day out at Compton Acres - not only were the gardens beautiful, but the views across Poole Harbour were amazing - truly a breath of fresh air.

There were a number of restaurants there serving excellent food, and we picked up a few goodies in the gifts shop before we left.

Would definitely recommend it
