Beautiful, beautiful - Beeeeautiful house and gardens. Once more - this may be my own bias toward such historic and charming estates - but How Hill House was and will remain one of my top visitor attractions on the broads. It is free to enter, there is a lovely little cafe, and a small gift shop in Toad Hall cottage. We walked the woodland path to the secret gardens and to our surprise were the only family there. Perhaps there were more, but the garden is big enough to lose sight of others but small enough not to make the walk too taxing. There was a huge variety of plant and tree specimens in the garden and a very informative little map that detailed the key points of garden. My favourite was the largest Acer tree I have ever seen in my life. It was huge and beautiful. If you love gardening, this is a must on your to do list. Even if you do not enjoy gardening - the walk and grounds is perfect for a young family picnic. I promise you this is well worth the visit - especially being it was free! Naturally we left a donation as this place has simply a natural beautiful charm that flows within.

Between the views of the river, the beautiful gardens and walks and the lunch, this place truly is superb and a must visit location when in the area. Historical and informative, lots to see and learn here. The meals are light with gluten free options and reasonably priced. The portion size was just right and provided great value for money. The coffee is good and they do have different tea choices. Come visit! My thanks to Simon who served us.

Narrow road to get there but plenty good parking and lots of nice riverside wetland and woodland walks. Some nice accessible riverside trails. Tearoom and toilets great!

Visited today for a dog walk, wandered around the Secret Garden and along the River Ant, stumbled across the tearoom, the cake selection was amazing! We tried the Fruit and Guinness cake it was absolutely delicious, they sell dog biscuits and doggie ice-cream too 🐶🐾
