We have visited a few times during 2022 and the garden has so much seasonal interest we just keep going back. Decided to buy a year pass as it was great value so now we’re addicted. One of the bonuses of our visits is always the Bothy tea room, such a wide choice of hot and cold drinks and very tasty home made cakes and unbelievably the whole place still runs on an honesty box. It restores your faith in the world. We’ll be back to see the snowdrops after Christmas.

Beautiful peaceful day. Delicious cake and I understand goats cheese, if available, is not to be missed. Entrance and purchases, all very reasonably priced are managed by honesty box system, what a refreshing change. Snowdrops were beautiful and there will be much more to enjoy through the seasons we are sure. We purchased a friends card and will be frequent visitors over the next 12 months. Thankyou, Gale and Jeff, Swindon.

We had a lovely couple of hours experiencing the wonderful gardens. So very quaint. The honest box was rather trusting . Dogs allowed on leads which was great to see. Lovely little cafe also.

I do love a walled garden and as son got married nearby day before wanted a short walk with my second love in life - flowers. Lovely vistas and rambling borders of delphiniums, dianthus, roses, pelargoniums, allium heads, hostas, peonies, rudbeckia and scabious name but a few. The walled garden is not huge but rather a space to be ambled through. Within these walls lies a tea room not to be missed! Serve yourself hot drinks in an outdoor kitchen. Very clean and homely with another honesty system to pay by card. The delight here was the home made cake. Hubby went for the biggest slice of lemon cake and me a moist coffee and walnut cake. Another customer told us the cakes are baked by the man who owns the house and what a fine baker he is too! Would go out of my way to visit here again for the cake alone.

Went on a very hot day and took advantage of the covered areas. Lots of interesting plants, trees and shrubs. The area laid out with plants used for medicinal purposes enlightening. So nice to find an open garden that accepts dogs on leads! This was a bonus for us as we were on holiday with our well behaved Labrador. He enjoyed the woodland walk and treats at the “honesty” cafe. We enjoyed a lovely coffee and slice of homemade cake in the shade. Atmosphere was lovely. Enjoyed the gardens immensely. Highly recommended. Thank you.

This is a hidden gem in all ways. A spot of tranquility that once found will now most likely be visited many more time. It is easy to find with the satnav but is not massively signposted and is off the beaten track but to us that is all part of the charm. Car parking is excellent, with considering a smaller garden area, is well conceived and laid out for all. The honesty, flexible system on arrival is fantastic and guides are so helpful. While the garden is laid out what can be classed as formally, their is a level of not that high level manicure you can see that let's you think you can take a snippet of the idea of the garden and replicate it in your own garden. There are so many areas, so much variation in planting style you can't help finding something to inspire and enjoy. Fantastic. And plenty of areas to sit and just take that tranquility in. The Bothy Tea Room needs a very special mention. Again the self help, honesty system is so refreshing. The selection is fantastic for teas and the cake, well you can tell it's home made, massive portion size and each piece is fantastic. I could rave for a long while about this. Everything is so reasonably priced too. My wife and I really enjoyed our trip here and will almost certainly be going back to see it in the different seasons. And remember to keep your eye out for the Roman Snails!

What a delight these gardens are. You are provided with a map and information card which you can pick up in the welcome hut . Entry is via an ‘honesty’ system where you can pay by cash , card or PayPal . Very quick and easy . The walled garden has a variety of different beds including a hot border , herbaceous border , fruit and vegetables, and a really interesting medicinal garden . We saw several Roman snails which are a large , protected variety of snail that inhabit the garden . The tea shop is self serve . Lots of good quality teas ( and coffee) on offer . Plenty of cups , tea pots and cafetières. A variety of pre- sliced homemade cakes are available . Again you pay via an honesty system . There are loads of tables and chairs both inside and out . It’s a really lovely place to visit . I’d love to go back earlier in the season .

Charming and delightful gardens. I bought a season ticket so that I can experience the tranquil setting in different seasons. The plants are labelled and well kept, The payment made at the entrance and in the Bothy are all based on trust. Part of me wants to tell everyone how wonderful these gardens are, but part of me wants to keep it a secret so I can enjoy the peace and quiet of these beautiful gardens

Wonderful garden even in late September - planning a return for Spring! Fantastic walled garden plus more outside. Honesty box for delicious cakes/coffees. Really lovely relaxed atmosphere.

Pleasant walled garden with an odd little self service bothy cafe and shop. You can either leave cash in a honesty box or type in and pay via contactless. Good selection of tea, coffee and freshly made cake. The cafe is in a lovely sheltered location with views across the garden.
