“The gardens are magnificent. So much in such a small area! The borders are stunning, and it’s almost September. The cafe too in the tithe barn is very atmospheric. Highly recommended.” Paul L August 2023
“This is the most beautiful and best-maintained garden I have ever visited. It’s not huge at 3acres, but is packed with intimate “garden rooms” planted in a modern and imaginative style with a vast, careful curated range of plants. Coordinated colours, shape and leaf contrasts, unusual planting combinations delighted us at every turn.” Linda M, August 2023
“I honestly think this is the most beautiful garden I’ve ever visited. The views are amazing.

Everyone who worked there was very friendly, and the cakes were all delicious.” Jane R, August 2023

The colours, the fragrances and the views were all magnificent. We roamed around the plants and flowers for a very happy couple of hours and took tea outside in the shade of a tree. Just perfect. Highly recommended.” Jane M, June 2022

“This is an absolutely stunning garden and a must visit if you are in the Cotswolds. Each of the sections of the gardens was splendid, the garden is stuffed full of every kind of plant and shrub you can think of. It is beautifully laid out and maintained. Stunning colours everywhere, albeit that the white garden is probably my favourite.” Lesley-Anne A, July 2021

And if you are feeling more energetic, there is an additional walk amongst the trees in a 7 acre field.” Arby27, July 2021
