Beautiful garden with great 'plant hunting' history (ask for the list of 'plants of interest '). Great natural play area for children. Only the scones at the Cafe could have been fresher... bought some nice Primula pulverulenta though... planted in the Netherlands under our plane tree... great memory, definitely worth a visit *just go for the chocolate cake ;-)

Wonderful day wandering these beautiful gardens. A bit hilly but well made paths good for wheelchairs or normal shoes and great for kids. Lots to see and discover and the fairy doors are all really cute. Nice cafe and shop and had a delicious baked potato for only £6.

Such a beautiful day here! Great atmosphere, staff were friendly and great service within the tearooms. Playgrounds small but plenty scattered for the kids. All in all a brilliant place and would definitely go back. Fairy walk we didn't compete after being there for 3 hours so definitely a reason to go back.

My second visit here, and loved it both times. Very well maintained. Great variety of interesting plants, and the rhododendrons and azaleas are absolutely beautiful at the moment. Lots of surprises round every corner and finding the little fairy doors is fun for kids and adults alike! Plenty of seating all round the gardens to stop and rest or have a picnic.

It was well worth visiting these lovely gardens. Parking is available & refreshments were for sale at the restaurant. There were benches to rest along the walking route. When we arrived, we were warmly welcomed & given a map of the trail around the gardens. Plants were available for sale. Children had fun exploring to find the fairy doors & could be seen enjoying themselves in the play area. Highly recommended for anyone who enjoys the beauty of nature. It's a photographer's paradise.
