A delight for all the senses - colourful blossom, fragrant blooms, vast swathes of narcissi, magnificent trees and shrubs. The recent upgrades to the network of paths has made a positive difference. The staff were helpful and hospitable. It was obvious the garden team work hard and have created a beautiful place to visit.

The arboretum is beautiful with footpaths for every level. ADA compliant. We were there in early May and enjoyed early spring perennials. Daffodils were fading out from the warmer weather. Horse Chestnut in full bloom- Bleeding Hearts and Iris blasting color. Lovely garden center and a wonderful falconry next door. Good for 2-4 hours and away from Cotswolds crowds. Many locals frequent the gardens.

This is a place of enormous beauty and great views, of tall trees and delightful bushes. It’s small enough to be easy to see on a relatively short visit and large enough to make it worth a moderate journey. The staff are welcoming and very helpful on access needs.

I last came here 2 years ago and did not have a disabled friendly experience. Today was a much better experience and staff were very quick to help carry my tray to my table. Toilets were clean and well laid out, play areas and fantastic gardens. They even have 3 mobility scooters you can borrow to get around. The cafe is expensive. 2 bowls chips, 1 of salad, 2 sandwiches and 2 cokes and it was £38. Later 2 small cakes and 2 teas and it was £14. However whilst the sandwich fillings are not over simple they were tasty and fresh. The ham sandwich was overpowered by mustard and all other tastes forfeited. There was no option without mustard. Cheese came with chutney and no option without. Etc.

We spent a good few hours wandering around and had food also. Entry fee very reasonable, ample parking and the hedgehog trail for the kids was fantastic. We didn’t find all 24 as we had to stop for drinks and found it hard to get restarted again but we had a lovely stroll around the beautiful garden.

We had a lovely 2-hour Thursday afternoon walk late September amidst a variety of trees and bushes, many of which were unusual and not originally native to the area. Bridges, statues, and sculptures had Asian influence (Japanese, Buddhist). Some of the paths are quite steep, though paved and not irregular or rocky. Near the car park is an enormous garden supply center, with clean restrooms and a cafe. This is a nice little detour for a walk and exercise when in the area of Stow-on-Wold. The history placards are also quite interesting.

Booked a tramper for a less abled person and was pleased we did. It is quite a work out. Was busy, people wanting to see autumn colours & the didn't disappoint. Beautiful. Lovely little church to visit. Staff friendly despite being so busy. Nice cafe for coffee or lunch. Couldn't resist buying something from garden centre.

Lovely arboretum with a varied array of trees, shrubs and things to see. Lovely views across the countryside from several points on any of the walking paths. Very reasonable entry cost compared to other similar NT gardens. Large free car parking areas with and added accessible path for pushchairs etc. After your walk around the arboretum on your way out is a super garden and plant centre with plenty of choice. The gift shop also has a very good selection of seasonal items. Excellent large cafeteria with indoor and outdoor seating on a raised deck, a good menu selection at reasonable cost. Can’t wait to visit again.

We came on a dry Saturday at 11:00am. We fortunately pre booked which was good as there was a massive queue trying to get in when we were leaving. Definitely prebook. Beautifully kept and the trees are so colourful in the Autumn. The map helped and there was enough information around the arboretum to understand the trees and history.

The arboretum never fails to impress, with choice planting and a look of being well cared for. The new additional paths make access to the waterfall much easier. The palette of autumnal colours clothes the garden in very vibrant colours; ideal for ‘leaf peepers’!
