    BEAUTIFUL SNOWDROPS, and WOW the re-furb to the coffeeshop amazing looks so inviting , the new proprieters have spent alot of money on it . FOOD EXCELLENT CAKES YUMMY. KEVIN nursery very good . THE GARDEN POOR the yellow boarder gone which is advertised in the heale broucher.... just soil also entrance road and carpark terrible. Come on owners of that beautiful house you need to spend some money. like the people who have taken over the coffeeshop . It wouldn,t take much to make this a fabulous attraction. WE COME EVERY YEAR TO VIEW THE SNOWDROPS.

    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.
