What visitors say
A lovely garden to wander round, with a wide variety of plants to see. Lots of plants for sale at reasonable prices. The cafe offered a selection of pizzas, filled rolls and cake, but was quite expensive. There were plenty of places to sit and eat or just take in the view. Car parking is on the road outside and can be difficult.

What a wonderful place. A beautiful walled garden which doesn't feell too organised. Lovely fresh food eaten at tables outside. Unfortunately my leaves had too much dressing, hence the 3star grading. The owner responded immediately when I told him and I saw him briefing the chef.

Delicious cream teas and a fantastic selection of cakes and pastries. The gardens are beautiful to sit in and enjoy the food. The friendly service made it extra nice!

Lovely spot for coffee & cake on a beautiful Spring Sunday. Very decent flat whites. Delicious toasted banana bread & gluten free cherry cake. I wanted to take a picture of them but they were gone before my camera came out. The pizzas looked fantatstic as well (wood fired in a home made pizza oven). The garden and location are perfect too.
