We haven't been here for at least 2 years and were very upset to learn the estate has been sold and the cafe will close at the end of the month. We had tea and cake before walking around the nursery and lovely garden. I hope the new owners open up to the public.

Nicely laid out gardens. The formal gardens are well worth a visit with some unusual planting, and well worth the admission fee. There is also a large nursery with many plants for sale at reasonable prices, however when we returned for a second visit to buy plants to bring home, we decided not to pay the entry discretionary fee as we were only purchasing plants. It was. also that the cafe and tea rooms were closed for an indefinite period, had it have been open we would have probably spent longer at the gardens.

Something a bit different with gardens to explore and a large nursery attached. An honesty box requesting £2.50 is at the gate which is well worth the price. This garden is totally organic and we were amazed at the size of some of the plants we jokingly said they must be on steroids !! The nursery stocks all the plants you will see in the garden and more and as usual we found something we wanted to take home. There is a very busy cafe there too which we did not use as it was not long after breakfast but everything looked really good.
