Lovely day out with our three year old. She loved helping answer the questions and finding the eggs. Prizes at the end were good and she is waiting for her sunflower sweet to sprout.
Definitely worth going and now considering membership 😊

We were pleasantly surprised that the house is now open although it is a work in progress. The walk through the valley is much improved and enjoyable and the main gardens beautifully kept. Particularly impressed with the quality of the food in the cafe. An enjoyable afternoon and well worth a visit especially on a warm sunny day.

We arrived in time for a nice light lunch, I had a cream tea and my wife had coffee and a cake. The formal gardens are well kept although not fully out in early April. The lake side walks were stunning with loads of daffodils and stunning views plus sufficient seating to allow us to stop and admire the views. There was a good selection of good value books in the second hand book shop.

The gardens are lovely and there are pleasant walks and vistas. However the house is obviously work in progress and the restaurant looked expensive for what it was. Whilst I appreciate the need to make money, I felt £11 per adult was on the high side. The exhibition in the house was a mess.

I was there many times, a few more time I should remember every trees, so it is what made it famous, the trees. Of course walking along the water is so relax and so indescribable fun...

Have been here many times and its always a joy to walk round these lovingly restored gardens.
There always seems to be something different to see and never seems so busy that you can't find a quiet spot to sit in and take in the atmosphere.
There's a lovely, well stocked shop and tea room and a small play area for younger children.
Well worth a visit.

We cycled here from home in Taunton and were very pleased to find a cycle rack in the car park. Spent a lovely few hours wandering around the gardens in beautiful spring weather. The flowers weren't out in the landscaped garden but it was still very pretty and great to walk around - there is plenty to see throughout the grounds. There are some easier, wider and flatter trails as well as some more challenging paths which are clearly signed. We had a picnic in what seemed like a good picnic area as there were about six picnic benches together by the water. However, there was no bin, and a friend of ours has since told us that you're not allowed to picnic - no one said anything to us at the time and of course we took our rubbish with us. We popped into the house to look at the exhibition and the book shop and then finished our visit with a nice slice of cake in the cafe which was pricey but nice. We enjoyed it so much we decided to become members - definitely worth it if you intend on going back, especially with a joint membership and the discount from paying by direct debit (the price comes out at cheaper than two adults for two visits and your first visit is refunded). We look forward to going back.

We have become members of this beautiful trust restored garden. It never ceases to be a joy to visit. I wouldn't rave about the food in either the cafe or the restaurant but the whole ambiance of the place is exceptional and well worth a visit
