It is a beautiful garden at anytime of the year and so lovely to wander around you really feel at peace. The views around the garden are wonderful too from certain spots you can look down the valley and see no sign of the 21st century !!! wonderful - I thoroughly reccomend it.

With a near £20 entrance fee for 2 of us I expected more, despite the earliness of the season there was less to enjoy than I hoped, this is a similar price to Kew but is not the Devon version. We were feeling a little taken advantage of when towards the end of our visit we thought we would cheer... More

Having just spent several hours at this lovely attraction I would thoroughly recommend the visit to everyone. Not the best place for anyone with mobility problems though as it is quite steep in places but a very level path to the restaurant for wheelchair users. When I went the Magnolias and Azaleas were in full bloom and it was magnificent.... More

The garden is only 8 acres but there is lots packed into this small space. We visited in April and there were many carpets of spring flowers, borders of flowering shrubs and trees bursting into leaf. We could tell from the plantings that it will offer all-year-round interest.

Stunning garden in a beautiful location. Worth going back as the seasons change and the experience changes each time you visit.

The garden house is a beautiful garden within a few miles drive of Plymouth. The Garden changes through the year, but there is always parts of which are of interest. I am a keen gardener myself, so I often go to this garden to get inspiration and see what I can grow locally. The tearoom is lovely too!

Visited the Garden Houise for the fourth time yesterday - it really is a garden to be seen in different seasons. So much difference in late September when compared with other visits in earlier months over the years. Staff are very friendly and try to make your visit a memorable one.

A really worthwhile visit with beautiful gardens and excellent food in the attached restaurant. We spent nearly three hours wandering around the delightful gardens (which are about to be extended with an arboretum) the variety of planting areas is most imaginative and gives plenty of ideas for gardeners to adapt for their own gardens back home. You do need to... More

My wife and I took my elderly mother in law to The Garden House today, she is a part time wheelchair user. We began by having lunch in the tea room, the room itself was cold, the main course was average, but expensive, and the cakes and coffee were tasteless. Service was amateur, one waitress did not realise there was... More
