Family visit including kids aged 4, 10 and 12. Only visited the gardens. We all loved it! Took us about 2 to 2.5hrs, but we did stop for a packed lunch and quite a few stops for photos. Lot of shade in the gardens, which was very welcome as it was a hot sunny day. I liked that it wasn't packed full of people. There was a free find the clues type trail for kids too, where they get a little chocolate at the end - that was a nice touch. Fair price as well for tickets. Looks like visitors are probbly more from an older age category, but I think it is definitely suitable for families with kids.

A wonderful charming and welcoming entrance to the beautiful Compton Acres Gardens. The café and tea rooms are cute, open and casual eat in bakery that serves hot and cold food. Selection of dishes are simple such as soups, fish and chips, quiche and salad and sandwiches. They have an enormous selection of cakes and drinks. They also sell made to order cakes from the selection they sell and extremely reasonable prices. We ordered a signature caramel & raspberry 9" cake for £35 with custom message on. Lovely for impromptu treat.

My family & I enjoyed lunch here recently. The food was delicious & the service was great. The lady taking the orders at the till was so friendly & welcoming & we had a laugh together too! Although there was a fair queue she was doing a brilliant job. The ladies making the drinks were lovely too, in fact all of the staff we interacted with were really great! Looking forward to returning!

I always thought of this place as mainly for coach trips and weddings... totally wrong! There's so much here! Hard to know where to start. Gardens are 10 acres separately themed. Winding paths take you through the valley, densely planted with a fantastic variety of species it's a joy. Despite being Feb there was plenty to see. The formal areas are truly stunning. Kids will love the tunnels, bridges and stepping stones. Plus there's a whole play area in the woods. Views from the top of the gardens are incredible. Interesting sculptures everywhere, great fun trying to spot them all. One visit is not enough to take it all in. They also have a huge shopping space. Local things, plants, kids toys, gifts and an Italian deli. Could have spent hours browsing. Cafe was clean with lots of lunch options. Plenty of seats inside and out. Staff were the absolute best. Kind and welcoming. Can't wait to go back in the summer!
