What travelers are saying

Near Sublime Point and close to our hotel we decided t9 start our day here and spent 2 glorious hours revelling in the terraces, the amazing planting, the history and the Art Deco House.

A charming National Trust heritage garden and arboretum with beautiful valley views too at various points.

It’s well worth spending a couple of hours exploring the flower walks and terraces, grotto pool, the garden theatre, sculptures and native gardens.

An interesting piece of architectural history

A great place to visit, to exp[experience Art-Deco architecture and to get an insight into the lifestyles of the 'rich and famous' of the times.There are some great valley views and the 'grotto' is well worth the short walk down the path to see. The...More

A perhaps little known, but absolutely delightful spot!

I heard abut this spot from another local; it was news to me...and I was delighted with our visit there. A fascinating and very impressive formerly-private residence with all the grandeur of its age (1930's) of wonderful gardens and really fascinating history -- The Russian...More

Total rip-off

We went round the gardens in about 10 minutes because there was so little to see. Almost no colour and a series of stepped terraces with little to commend them. If you want 'stunning views' there are many better places to go than Everglades.

Lovely Gardens

The gardens are sympathetically landscaped and had stunning views. I was not as impressed with the house but I loved the modernist studio and the art deco railings and panels.

Is this place suitable for 1-5 y.o children? Not only in terms of accessibility but would they but "disruptive" to the ambience/atmosphere of what seems to be a quiet/peaceful setting?

I think it would be a lovely place for children, especially in the garden - all the nooks and crannies outside and the space to run and jump too. Just be careful inside the house, but that won't take long.
