Really relaxing walk through the woodland garden. Perfect morning out for a family. The route through the garden was well waymarked with a one way system in operation due to covid. The staff were really welcoming and helpful. Great place for NT members to visit with a dog. The gardens may not have been what they were pre covid but clearly the staff were doing their very best and we had a wonderful visit. We finished with lunch in the tea rooms which are not NT and are outstanding.…

This garden is probably not at its best in September, being primarily a woodland garden with rhodedenrons, camellias and azelias. There is however a fairly small flower and vegetabke garden which provides some interest in the autumn months. It has the best tearoom I have encountered in a National Trust garden with a good variety of cooked lunches and teas, including some items gluten free. I was surprised to learn on complenting them that it wasn't National Trust but had been franchised out. The National Trust can learn a lot from them about how to run a tearoom!…

Essential to currently book so don’t turn up on the chance. Great walks around beautiful gardens with stunning views from behind the house where in good weather great for picnics with or without kids. But maybe best of all is the fabulous cafe which even during these current times is serving best ever Cornish cream tea always ask for two scones and they let you go back for more jam or cream but have never had the need to.…

Beautiful walk through the gardens and stunning views from the terrace. As others have said the walled garden is treat and I have never seen sloping beds before...how much sense that makes. The independently run cafe is excellent and can be accessed separately to the gardens.

I had a problem with booking online as my son has autism and loves NT venues and loves gardens and the outdoors, he has a app on his mobile that takes photos of plants and flowers and it tells him what they are and when is best to plant them, so this place was right up his street. We arrived at the main gate and explained about the problem with booking a slot and the kind lady explained that some people due to it being a bit of a dull day just hadnt bothered turning up, which was a great shame. We walked around for about 2 hours but didnt get up as far as the buildings as they were closed I think..The one way system with the arrows was good and there was lots of benches to sit down on the way round which came in handy for me as Ive recently had a operation. The garden were lovely, the footpaths were clean and tidy and easy to walk along. Next time we will come and spend a lot longer here as I will be a bit more fitter…
