Beautiful garden with a cafe situated right by the entrance. I ordered cheese and onion toastie that came with a jar of pickle and crisps and it was delicious. Really worth visiting.
Really charming, quite a quick walk round... got a bit lost in the maze. Loved the orchard. Lucky with the weather
A lovely garden with a variety of trees, shrubs, perennials and bulbs to provide interest in all seasons. Amazing very friendly staff. Lovely little cafe selling some of the best scones in the country. Also a small shop mainly selling local produce. Well worth a visit.
Lovely place with a well maintained garden and plenty of benches to sit on and enjoy the views and weather. Small cafe if you fancy a drink and also two toilet facilities. Some information around the grounds on the history of the space and some of the aspects of the grounds and overall, I would recommend to anyone who enjoys beautiful gardens and a little bit of history to.
Loove the place. Enjoyed strolling and having a picnic in the massive garden.
Some friends introduced us to this garden which was very nice and had some beautiful flowers and paths round a walled garden. A small maze too and a bummer house, and orangey.
The tea rooms was also very pleasant and we enjoyed a cream tea there at a very reasonable cost.

What a surprise! Apart from the botanical gardens in Birmingham, this is a wonderful "hidden" garden within a city metropolis!
There were lovely flowers, landscaping, paths and lawns. Bees were pollinating everywhere without being worried by us human beings. Butterflies of different varieties were lazily flying around. It was all beautiful.
The funny thing was that our kids spent the most time nosing around the vegetable garden, seeing what was grown and what was still growing!
We ignored the maze though. The holly-hedge walls looked a little too prickly for our liking!
...of course all of that was during the summer.
It's all completely different in the winter; still good to walk around and see nature at any time of the year.
