Love this place - a fantastic day out for the family. Really lovely walk around the curated but unstuffy gardens and super cute tearooms. The kids love the alpacas, goats and hens (perhaps the owners should get even more animals?). Can't wait for it to re-open to the public after Covid.

The new owners of Beech Court are worthy guardians of this beautiful place and have enthusiastically picked up where the previous owners left off and continue to welcome visitors to the gardens and tea rooms.
They offer a simple choice of tasty homemade and well prepared light lunches with cheerful and friendly service. There is space to sit inside and out; accessibility is good in both cases which has allowed my frail 95 year old father a weekly visit there for lunch all through the summer, an outing he always enjoys and keenly anticipates. We'll be sorry to see it close for the winter and look forward to returning next year.

I visited Beech Court Gardens for the first time today, and was very impressed throughout my walk across its grounds. Despite the unfortunate (and uncontrollable) heavy rain, the garden was a pleasure to see and relaxing to be in. I finished my visit with a trip to their tea rooms- lovely food and lovely people. Will definitely go again!

What a wonderfully quirky English garden! We had a lovely day out looking all of the wildlife in the beautiful gardens, and finished everything off nicely with tea in the Oast House. I would highly recommend a trip to anyone.

I've been a regular visitor to Beech Court for over ten years and for me whatever the season it offers something special and unique. The combination of both natural and landscaped gardens, the birdsong, the home cooked food and the warm welcome, make this for me the best garden experience in Kent. I would thoroughly recommend a visit but suggest you buy a season ticket as they're such good value and I'm sure you'll be heading back again!

Although only a small garden it is well worth a visit especially in spring for the rhodedenrons and in autumn for the acers.It is ideal for my aunt who at 90 cannot walk to far without a rest as there are sitting places at intervals for her to take a break and enjoy the view. A cup of tea and a piece of cake is welcome at the end of our walk and all the staff are very welcoming.

My wife and I visited this garden in mid-march and we were both thoroughly disappointed. We had assumed that this would be a formal garden but it proved to be nothing more than the average middle-class back garden, albeit writ large. There are no formal paths or trackways and the soil drainage is poor so one must expect damage to one's footwear due to the over-abundance of mud. For the same reasons, footing is very slippery and treacherous and the garden should not be considered accessible to those in a wheelchair, or with small children, on days following rainy weather. Should one be inclined to visit such a garden one might well gain much more enjoyment from visiting some of the local Kent woodlands. After fifteen minutes we felt that we had experienced everything this dismal little garden had to offer. We then spent ten minutes cleaning our footwear before retiring to the tea room which offered a lack-lustre environment and overly inflated prices. Clearly we are unable to comment on the garden at other times of the year but given the incredibly poor showing this time around we will not be returning for a second time.

in my published reply lack lustre should have been in inverted commons eg "lack lustre" I would be grateful if you would alter this otherwise it appears that I agree with the reviewer.
Many thanks

I am a regular visitor to Beech Court Gardens and am looking forward to it opening again this Spring. The gardens surround a 15th century farmhouse which overlooks a beautiful pond, bordered by colourful trees and bushes, including azalias, rhododendrons, viburnums, roses etc. The well-kept lawns are surrounded by lovely mature trees and plants, and the aroma of roses and orange blossom give a feeling of calm and tranquility,
There is always a friendly welcome in the Tea Rooms where tea, coffee, home-made scones and cakes are available.
Visiting Beech Court Gardens is a most enjoyable event, which I strongly recommend.

I visited the gardens last summer to see the colourful hydrangeas and was also impressed by the beautiful mature trees which surround the gardens.
After walking round the peaceful gardens which were full of bird song, I enjoyed a delicious cream tea on the tea room terrace overlooking the pretty water garden.
I appreciated the warm welcome from the owners and will be returning for see the rhododendrons and azaleas in spring.
Well worth a visit if you are in Kent.
