National Trust - Hidcote

Beautiful gardens. Lots of 'rooms' of different flower themes. So much to see and although the carpark was full, the gardens did not feel crowded and there were lots of 'silent ' spots to sit quietly. Lots of walks if you like long and short. Book carpark if going before 1pm on NT site. Lawn games available. Tea room. Highly recommend.

Beautiful gardens, where you can get lost walking four hours around them, seeing plants from different parts of the world. This place also has beautiful greenhouses, crops and playgrounds. You have a few shops available, including plants grown there. Great for kids and adults alike.

Lovely gardens and wooded area. A lot of flowers out when we visited. There is a map you get at reception which points the way. The plants are not named as they say it's in keeping with it being a private garden" we used Google lens to find names. You can go in a couple of the rooms of the house where there is some information on the original owners. We spent just over two hours doing the trail around the gardens. There are some great views from the end of the long walk.You need to book a slot in the carpark as it's not very big

A smallish country house with a good sized and very interesting garden. You can only visit a few rooms in the house (of which one is arranged to show how it would have looked back in the 1920s, prior to NT ownership, and the other to a series of boards contrasting the staffing and tools use to maintain the garden 'now and then'). The main show is really the garden, which is well worth a visit - it's large (but not cast, as per some NT properties) and highly varied, with a large number of different 'regions', each with its own character.It was pretty busy when we visited (on an overcast day in September, outside school holidays), with the overflow car park already filling up at Midday.Not much else to say, really - pleasant garden, worth a couple of hours, likely to be quite crowded.

Extremely beautiful gardens are well worth a visit!You'll find helpful and friendly staff on arrival and around the grounds.A family visit today, we were fortunate with the weather, cloudy but sunny and dry.It was a beautiful time to see the gardens. It was certainly spectacular. We of all different ages walked around, enjoying the journey of the landscape and the bright colours of spring blooms.Some steps and cobbles are still easily managed by those with mobility issues or pushchairs.Lots of places to take in the views, the plants and take pictures.The house and facilities, with ample toilets, are perfectly placed by the gardens, we finished our visit with a ploughman's lunch and drinks.We enjoyed ourselves so much we're going again later in the summer.The cafe was busy, so suggest booking during the peak season or an earlier visit in the morning.Highly recommended

One of the most beautiful of gardens I've ever visited, simply stunning. So well thought out, its a joy to walk around and discover all its hidden delights!

Visited here today and the gardens are very pleasant to walk around with a good variety of plants. The estate is quite compact so it's easy to find your way round. Nice cafe too.

We visited within the last hour opening hours. Lovely warm welcome from staff with apologies the cafe was just about to close. Fine with us due to only just had refreshments at another NT cafe. The gardens were full of different types of plants and themes. They were easy to walk around and very relaxing in atmosphere. Lots of interesting information about some of the gardens especially in the working garden. We will be calling in again one day due to having a hour to look around. It was enough but definitely could had stayed longer due to how beautiful the gardens were.

Welcome back to HidcoteAnother lovely day weather wise and an array of plants to see.Looking up at the big old cedars and seeing the autumnal colours, the gentle breeze that holds that time of changing seasons one can't help but take in a deep breath and lament the seasons behind us.Enjoy!
