    Very beautiful garden. Fortunately dogs are allowed in the beer-garden-like cafe. We bought some plants in Autumn 2010 they are growing well here in Germany.

    Beautifully styled gardens especially closer to the stunning house..with evidence of some well-considered & styled replanting on the south lawn
    Overall maintenance pretty Ok but a lot of signs that perhaps an extra pair of hands is needed to keep on top of things.
    All in all a place with tranquility ,charm and graciousness.

    A beautiful display of snowdrops in a delightful garden. The many paths, meandering river and intriguing bridges give a very tranquil atmosphere. Tea and homemade cakes make a pleasant end to the walk. I shall enjoy returning to see what the garden has to offer in the summer.

    The snowdrops look lovely. The garden nursery is stocked with some lovely unusual plants and the nursery man Kevin and his mate are extremely helpful. The tea rooms tempt you with cakes, soups, etc.. They also have some lovely handicrafts and paintings for sale.
