- Suzanne078Leek, UK75 contributionsWe’ve lived locally for many years but this was the first time we’d visited.
There were plenty of parking spaces near the caravan park..Grin Low.
It was very windy but a clear day so had great views from Solomons Temple.
Well worth visiting.Written August 30, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It's very well kept with lots of water features and has the river Wye running g through it.
The Pavillion itself has been beautifully restored, we found the conservatory to be a lovely relaxing space to admire the well kept plants and just to sit and chill.
We visited the cafe which had varied menus, there was a pizza section, an area for light snacks and a restaurant. Also an area for Afternoon Teas. The whole of the space was clean, bright and airy.
There's an exhibition area and while we were there, there was a fabulous display of local arts and crafts.
On a dry day you could spend a good few hours in the gardens and if rainy the same amount of time Inside the Pavillion.Written October 6, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Fantastic architecture, and if you stand under the peak of the dome and whisper / speak, you get a magic sound experience as the walls focus sound back to you. We’ve been three times now, and will go again.Written June 20, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- BibcayGateshead, UK4,301 contributionsThis Well is perfect when your thirsty (clearly) but the famous water is very good and warm. People overdo it by bringing massive tanks and fill them up up can take a while when you just want a measly sip of water.Written April 8, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- James A7 contributionsMe and my partner booked the afternoon tea and spa. When in contacted the spa I was told that there is no set menu and that they would just accommodate us. I personally didn’t like not knowing what I was booking but went for it anyway. The vegan afternoon tea was fantastic. All the cakes were brilliant and definitely did not feel like I was missing out. As for the spa it’s lovely although one of the saunas was shut which was a shame. Overall it’s definitely worth a visit and it’s brilliant if you are veganWritten October 2, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Victoria CampbellSouthend-on-Sea, UK1,211 contributionsLots of reviews have said it is a bit of a walk to get here, but I found a website that suggested a short route, which took about 15/20 minutes. There was plenty of parking in the layby. Slight climb down a ladder, but OK if you have good mobility. The walk is through fields with sheep so if you have a dog, please keep them on lead (like we did).
We found a little spot where nobody else was, but we were there early, and people started to arrive by midday.
It was a really hot day, but the water was still quite chilly. There are some lovely little water falls and the water is clean. There's no shops nearby so make sure you take everything you need for the time you plan to spend there- drinks, food, suncream etc.Written August 25, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
