The gardens are amazing and well worth the visit. Lots of garden rooms with varied planting, interesting features and individual plants. Could have wandered around for hours but had to leave due to closing time. Will return at a different time of the year as so much to see

What a fabulous garden, lots of small areas , intricately woven together! Although utterly is the beginning of autumn, the garden was still amazing. I wish I lived locally as I would love to visit in every season. Well done to the gardeners and volunteers for the upkeep. Loved the of couple of exhibitions there as well.

What an amazing garden! So many outdoor ‘rooms’ with beauty at every turn. Garden staff had nice signage around talking about what was being worked on and why. Some lovely old indoor spaces including a used bookstore. Great way to spend part of a day and a lovely plant sale area and a gift-shop.

Love the way the garden is divided up - almost into rooms - with lovely views as you turn every corner. Great little cafe too. I’d love to return in the spring when I would imagine it would be truly stunning. Allow 2-3 hours to appreciate all the winding little paths and vistas.

Even on a brisk February morning a wander around Hidcote soothes the soul. Entry offers up a varying range of attractions including the actual gardens so immaculately maintained, atmospheric rooms inside the Manor, plant nursery, enticing bookshop housed in the Chapel, a quality gift shop and a comfortable cafe serving local produce. We loved the vistas through the lawns and out onto the rolling Cotswold countryside.

Lovely gardens , well laid out with plenty of paths. Great idea with the staff photos of before and after . The photo is in a folly in the grounds. The NT cafe was very clean and served good dude portions.

First thing….. book a parking 🅿️ space. We didn’t but as we arrived early on a Thursday it was ok. Spring is quite late ⏰ this year and we picked a day when it wasn’t raining ☔️. I like that the garden paths aren’t too muddy and it’s not really big.

I was in Heaven. You cannot visit the Cotswolds and not visit Hidcote ~. We had the most beautiful day out exploring the linked gardens. It was such a delight round every corner. We had lunch in Winthrop’s Cafe outside garden area, where a little robin serenaded me next to my shoulder. Another delight was visiting inside the ground floor rooms of the manor ~ where they lovingly created the by gone times. A dream for all senses.

Having read some reviews from last year, I can only think that they've either improved their gardens or I was very lucky today. This place is enchanting and I only wish I lived closer- I'd be here every month if not every week. All of the staff were lovely and took time to explain the best way to see everything. Shout out to Lesley on Visitor Reception and the lady who looks after the book shop. The café wasn't too busy, perhaps because I went there around 3pm? It seemed clean and well organised and is a lovely, bright space. I took over 200 pictures but wasn't constantly 'snapping'. It was really peaceful even though it was busy. I booked the parking prior to arrival, as advised by the website. A few people have said that summer is the best time to visit. If that's the case then it's definitely worth a return visit based on what I saw today. I'm fairly sure even in winter time this place would be stunning. Looking forward to coming back already (&there are very few places I say that about 😉)

As NT members, these gardens were "free" to members so cannot comment on the entry charge. There were some great views from the end of the long walk across counties though the distinctive themed areas didn't quite make the grade. For us, we felt that it didn't live up to its hype this time around. Perhaps better in mid summer ?
