Great to see the gardens open again and full credit to the staff for managing everything so efficiently and yes there are toilets! Plenty to explore and well worth the long walk round the Capability Brown parts. The formal gardens have an additional slightly wild charm to them with fewer gardeners available during lockdown but they still look amazing.

It was so lovely there today. Not too many people because of the social distancing but all the plants and flowers were in bloom, probably past their best but still beautiful. We had a picnic box, which was very nice. A lovely day!

Gardens great. Restaurant - a fiasco. Limited menu. Cutlery that breaks, card machine that breaks down.

Beautiful walks and excellent formal gardens, despite the reduced staffing level. The picnic area on the lawn, cafe level, is well socially distanced, with lovely views.

Fantastic example of several centuries of garden design, including the wonderful Lutyens / Jekyll formal garden. Great day out for garden lovers, for nature lovers. 🙂

A little tired after having had to furlough lots of gardeners,but wonderful landscaping by Lutyens and I would like to have seen Gertrude Jeykell's original planting.
