What visitors say
Lovely garden/woodland to visit. Plenty of parking, bring a picnic or enjoy the excellent café. Toilet was only a mobile, hopefully temporary, structure - but quite a posh one: all be it a little snug. I'd say the terrain was moderate as there were some hills to negotiate and the pathways were at times uneven. All in all a great place and I'd recommended it.

Small but very pretty and perfectly formed, ideal for all apart from those with mobility issues. There's a nice café area and the food looked very enticing. All the staff we encountered were very friendly and accommodating. Nice play area for older children was a surprise. Ample free parking with an adjacent toilet block. Dog friendly.

In the scorching summer that we are having currently, this only surviving example of a Rococo garden evokes a continental Europe feel, and it is hard not to imagine the flamboyant, cheeky parties that must have occured here in times gone by. Don't miss the narrow entrance stairwell to the Pigeon House as well as the secret section round the back of this Georgian folly. Also, if it is hot when you go, dip your feet in the natural spring plunge pool.

Beautiful Italiente gardens in the Cotswolds. Very family and dog friendly, cute cafe although we didn't eat as couldn't see anything gluten free (but we didn't ask about options). We saw some beautiful green woodpeckers and the bird song around the garden was stunning. It's obvious how much love and attention goes into the upkeep here. Highly recommend
