The gardens are extra special right through the year from the Snowdrops in January to the start of the daffodils in February, then comes the abundance of Spring with the Apple Blossom, Tulips, Aquilegia, Lunaria and Narcissi putting on a glorious display. The early summer the herbaceous borders are a joy, with the blousy Bearded Iris and the Echium Candican always the eye catchers. Summer colour abounds, where do you start? with the Roses, Phlox, Alstromeria and Lychnis or the Agapanthus, Kniphofia and grasses? Where ever you start they all blend together to form a wonderful tapestry. Autumn is our favourite time of year with the Salvia, Dahlia and Asters bringing us right up to the first frosts.

The Cottages with their wonderful rooves thatched in reed are a work of art in themselves both inside and out, why not come on a short break and experience them first hand. Around the gardens you’ll find our water features, green houses and dry stone walling which together with wood carvings by the talented wood sculpture Tommy Craggs are all a talking point.
