Really great cream teas to be had in the cafe!!! Have to say the cucumber plants i bought had a disease and i had to burn them, but still worth the visit.

This is a most unique garden, or rather a set of gardens from gravel garden to damp garden. Built up over many years the garden is set over 7 acres. Plenty of shade and tranquil areas.
