Reviews of Tintinhull House Garden

Very interesting reading! I would point out that Penelope Hobhouse was not responsible for the design of the garden - this was done by Phyllis Reiss. The current planting has been amended over the past fifteen years, to correspond more with the original planting philosophy, but incorporating more modern varieties alongside those which would have been familiar to Phyllis Reiss. The garden is maintained by one gardener with the invaluable assistance of volunteers.

I can't comment on the quality of planting as I am no gardener.

It's a small garden split into rooms and has a peaceful tranquil air.

Combined with nearby Montacute it makes for a rewarding day out.

(3.0/5)

Although it is'nt a large garden it has a lot of well proportioned 'rooms' that interconnect harmoniously..very Arts & Crafts !
The plantings are some of the most delightful I have enjoyed in the UK. One isnt sure if it is thanks to the efforts & imagination of the Head gardner-ess or if she is preserving the planting schemes of Penelope Hobhouse, whatever, there are a lot of well assembled plant groups creating very pleasing and colourful effects.
Maintenance was impeccable and yet only one worthy seen attending the garden.
Useful plant lists are available for inspection at the entrance
