First visit and found Staff/ Volunteers helpful.

Video film in 3 different locations could have been labelled better. Telling stories associated with specific area of grounds Wasn't till on way out did we find Cinema then had to catch up on the FULL story.

Take note of Cafe hours STOPPING food at 3pm only if you walked FULL distance. Time is short

Some 40 acres of walks, lakes and woodlands beautifully maintained with a natural appeal maintained throughout.
It’s not a level flat walk as there some inclines to deal with which offer some glorious views over the whole area, quite spectacular.
Nice restaurant as well.
The gardens are the main attraction, the house is ok and has a lovely enclosed flower garden to the side with places to sit and admire the view.

Мне очень понравился сад, в лучших английских традициях. Большая площадь где погулять и в конце регулярный сад на "сладкое " были в начале августа.

Really impressive job has been done on restoring these gardens to their original splendor. In particular, the design of the garden, the quality of the hard landscaping, and the variety of the planting are inspiring. Some lovely walks around the grounds to, both shorter and medium length. Splendid.

A wonderful gardens and tea room suitable for families for a good half day out. Young children especially will enjoy it. The walks are out of this world but make sure you go in the sunshine. We had a lovely time rolling down the hills and yomping through the Meadows.

Excellent way to spend a Sunday afternoon.
Lovely landscaped gardens. At the rear of the house is a valley with ornamental stream pools and a waterfall. Several paths take you past different themed overlooks sited to make the most of the views of the valley and Taunton vale itself.
Surrounding the house are beautiful set piece formal gardens designed in such a way as to visually stretch towards the vale beyond. The flower beds are well stocked and maintained making the whole effect delightful to the senses.
The cafe is priced on a par with higher end local coffee shops and serves a variety of snacks and cakes. It also boasts a restaurant and art gallery. Lastly it has a shop filled with curios, plants and gifts.

Awesome gardens......!! I prefer looking at the country houses rather than gardens - but these gardens wowed me! The gardens are truly spectacular - especially the formal gardens. Lots of different areas with places to sit, and contemplate.Apart from an art gallery, there is little to see in the house - this is work-in-progress. Not the cheapest place to visit - but lovely cafe (the farmhouse fruitcake was delicious!); easy parking; good toilets. Defo worth a visit!

Home to one of the best, if not the best, Edwardian gardens by Gertrude Jekyll and Edward Lutyens

Large grounds to walk around which was pleasant. The house was really disappointing with just a few photos hung on the walls. Cafe ok just like National Trust.
