The garden was amazing, perfect for all age ranges, even feed available to feed the ducks and chickens. The cafe was very disappointing though. Coming to a small scenic town in the English countryside I was hoping for a menu that reflected the are, maybe a high tea style, cake trays and English meals but was really disappointed. The only this on there that seemed fitting for a garden English cafe would be the scones. The rest of the menus was what felt like an attempt to be trendy.

Lovely gardens to spend an hour or two. £10 entry is a bit steep as you could get round quickly. There is a large, busy cafe with lovely outdoor tables but I didn't have time to go in.

A beautiful walled garden that is clearly well looked after. We had a lovely walk around in a wonderfully peaceful environment.
