We were looking for a garden to visit to use our '2for1' Gardens card and perhaps somewhere a little different. Bourton House Garden caught our attention due to it's location and how the garden was described. The description did not disappoint. Finding the location is easy with a Satnav and as you get near signposted. Parking is on the opposite side of the road and there was ample space. You walk across the road and pay entry at the beautiful Tithe Barn and then wander round. Considering it was October it really did not disappoint. With so much still in flower and a stunning layout. it was one of the warm October days but still! Sitting in the Orchard area and just listening to the wind blow through the trees was simply a very tranquil and relaxing site. There are a number of different areas with the overall gardens. All with something different to offer. Despite being quite a compact house garden, it doesn't feel it. There is plenty of room to move around and different areas if one gets busy and moving between them is very easy. The only sad piece, and beyond everyone's control, is box blight has devastated some of the beautiful topiary that can be seen in the guides. However, it has been replaced with what looked like yew so looking at a positive it will be interesting to watch how this grows as it matures. There are toilets on site and before October there is a fully set up cafe inside the Tithe Barn, but this was closed when we went so cannot comment. However, they had put a pop up cafe on site so we were still able to get a brew and gorgeous home made cake. Simply fantastic. We ended the day with a wander round the field that is attached to the car park and is part of the land owned by the house. It has some fantastic trees and a guide is given on arrival to tell you all about them. It is a grassed path around the field. Overall this was just a lovely few hours spent in a beautiful location. The gardeners at the house have a fantastic eye with each area offering something different while all having a running theme as you move through. Seeing it in the different seasons is something we look forward to.

We visited the gardens here and were stunned. Meticulously maintained and beautifully laid out, they were such a joy to wander around and I'm sure will be even better as we head into summer. We loved every aspect of it and wish we had had more time and better weather to appreciate it for longer. Would highly recommend visiting if you are in the area.

Beautiful garden , immaculately cared for and full of stunning plants including many unusual varieties and exotics, we particularly enjoyed the planting of succulents such as Aeoniums and Echeverias , in the borders and pots . The themed white garden was a highlight as was the vegetable garden.Many congratulations to the gardeners for providing us with such a feast for the eyes. Refreshments are available in the tithe barn, the home made cakes were superb. There is a small plant sales area with some unusual ones available , I managed to fill the car with many new treasures!

This must be the bench-mark of Summer seasonal gardens n the Cotswolds and there some rather good competitors. Everything is so neat and tidy, the borders are full of colour and interest. Our visit on a rather mixed weather day did not spoil our enjoyment. Friendly staff and good selection of tea and snacks on offer. Good parking facilities. Can’t fault it. A guarantee of enjoyment in my opinion. Highly Recommend. We used our BBC Gardeners World Magazine 2 for 1 voucher which made our visit a BARGAIN!

I had cream tea at the Bourton House Garden before visiting the amazing garden. There is lots to see in the garden; many different kind of areas around; don't know what is behind the next hedge. Nice view to the adjacent field/surroundings. Would be lovely to spend a summer day in a shade of a large tree reading book. Lots of plants; some of them have already bloomed but most was in full bloom.

This is a real hidden gem - right from the entrance to the Great Barn, flanked by the largest hanging baskets we've ever seen, the lovely welcome, and the most amazingly stunning gardens we've ever visited. You can tell they have been created by extremely knowledgeable and talented gardeners. The 'White Garden' is just awesome! Very helpful and lovely staff in the Tea Room, with delicious sandwiches and cakes. Would definitely go again at a different time of year too

I'm from Austria and this is the 10th time I've been to the south of England to admire all the beautiful gardens. I love Great Dixter, Sissinghurst, Highgrove, Kiftsgate, Hidcote and so on... Bourton House is definitely in the same league and could possibly even win! Many thanks to all the gardeners for their wonderful work and for bringing great joy and inspiration to all flower lovers!
