Beautiful gardens with an interesting house to visit. The house was a hunting lodge, which is open for walk through visits Friday to Mondays.Exploring the gardens, including the circular walk, is about 2.5 km. There is a garden of contemplation, which is nice to sit in for a period. The eucalyptus trees are huge!The walled garden, with a hothouse, has a wide variety of plants and flowers.There's a really good bird/squirrel hide, but be aware that the path to the hide is quite steep and uneven.There is a big cafe with indoor and outdoor seating, which serves reasonably priced wholesome food.

A beautiful garden, so fantastically taken care of!. Lovely walk all around the grounds and lots of little things to do and enjoy along the way.Well worth a visit.We went on the wrong day for entry to the house which was a shame..

Lovely gardens run by the NTS. There's a café, toilets both in the cafe area and in the gardens, which include a walled garden and hothouses.There's ample parking including disabled spaces and the staff are friendly and welcoming. The garden of contemplation is especially relaxing.

Fairly compact NTS property with house and gardens.Welcome staff can be a bit grouchy so make sure you give them a big hello when you arrive.Around half of the house & gardens can be visited by the public due to the fact that it's a horticultural teaching college.Well worth a visit for the cake alone....Beware of Google map can take you to a small carpark by a poly tunnel - that's not the visitors entrance!

Beautiful gardens and house. Lovely walks and good paths (I'm on mobility scooter). Walled garden hard going as shingle though. Some beautiful and interesting specimens. We'll behaved dogs on leads. Lovely cafe with some hearty fare. Well worth a visit.

Very nice formal gardens around a red stone manor in a hilly landscape. I was impressed by the walled kitchen garden that bears apples and German turnip (Kohlrabi). The latter is very rare in the UK. It is actually edable. At the parking place (free but no charger) is also a welcome centre with a restaurant overlooking the hills. In autumn the garden is very pretty. Free admission for National Trust members.

A fabulous location, garden and staff. A real pleasure to visit and wander among the well cared for plants. And then to finish off with a visit to the tearoom, with its lovely selection of food and drinks, and stunning views across the gardens and beyond.

Beautiful place but they charge quite a bit to go into the gardens so we explored the woods and outer grounds for free instead!

The garden is spectacular with more to come as the summer months go on the garden is well worth visiting and the flowers on display are gorgeous they are starting to bloom now so if you are in the area then it is well worth visiting so peaceful and relaxing especially when the sun is shining

Entry is overly expensive and while it is accessible it's by no means an easy place to push a wheelchair around. There are some nice areas in the gardens most of which are well kept.The cafe is nice, spacious and dog friendly, though it to is a bit expensive as well.
