Feedback
I visited this restaurant with a friend and we were very impressed. The place is absolutely charming, with a casual atmosphere and lots of beautiful spots that feel untouched. The 'Long Border' was especially stunning, with a vibrant display of colors that I have never seen anywhere else. It truly embodies the essence of an English country garden - peaceful, relaxing, and a hidden gem. I purchased an annual ticket for a great price of £20, which allows me to bring a guest with me each visit. What a bargain! We plan on returning multiple times throughout the year. The cafe offers delicious homemade cakes, and I am already looking forward to my next visit. Elizabeth, your love and dedication to the garden is evident and Harry, thank you for sharing this truly enchanting place. I give it a perfect 10/10 - keep up the amazing work!
I visited the plant nursery today and was impressed by the wide range of plants they had available. The decor and atmosphere were inspiring, with classical music playing in the background that made it feel like a peaceful retreat. I highly recommend paying a visit, as you will receive a friendly welcome and delicious coffee. I enjoyed my time there so much that I didn't want to leave.
Lovely little cafe with friendly, helpful staff. Plenty of opportunities to use the cameras, a delightful garden to wander round
We ate here last month. Interestingly (in a good way) furnished eating areas. Food was home cooked and we enjoyed our dishes. We also visited the garden which again was interestingly quirky with some unusual sculptures and planting.
This is a beautiful place to go for a quiet and tranquil lunch. The menu is not huge, but all the food is home cooked and the staff are very obliging at changing the dishes to suit dietary requirements. We had a Bacon, Tomato and avocado sandwich turned into a salad as we were eating as carb free as possible. The coffee is delicious.The staff are lovely and the gardens and nursery shop are well worth a visit.
