We came here as it was part of the Rhs Partner gardens scheme. They are gardens with loads possibles they just could do with some more tlc. There are some lovely plants and the gardens were well laid out but there are a lot of weeds in all the beds and the gardens look a bit tired. There's a lovely little tea shop selling homemade cakes and nice hot and cold drinks.

What a surprise! Apart from the botanical gardens in Birmingham, this is a wonderful "hidden" garden within a city metropolis! There were lovely flowers, landscaping, paths and lawns. Bees were pollinating everywhere without being worried by us human beings. Butterflies of different varieties were lazily flying around. It was all beautiful. The funny thing was that our kids spent the most time nosing around the vegetable garden, seeing what was grown and what was still growing! We ignored the maze though. The holly-hedge walls looked a little too prickly for our liking! ...of course all of that was during the summer. It's all completely different in the winter; still good to walk around and see nature at any time of the year.

Nice walk in quiet wild park and gardens, seen at its best in spring with apple blossom, bluebells and tulips. Brownies in the cafe were ace. Staff were really friendly and helpful and created a nice atmosphere for visitors.

Beautiful hidden gem. We went on a day when there had been torrential rain and the garden didn't look open. However, the staff were great. Very welcoming and offered to make us a hot drink even though the cafe wasn't open. £5 per adult entry with gorgeous grounds to walk around, a maze to explore and a wealth of wonderful plants. Even saw what we think was a red squirrel!

We enjoyed a lovely visit to these beautiful gardens. The gardens were reasonably accessible for a wheelchair user. The only comment I would make is that the accessible toilet was right at the back behind the other toilets and baby changing with just enough room to negotiate the wheelchair around the corners to access the toilet. We had a cream tea in a box which consisted of a small plain scone with a helping of jam and cream. Although this included a drink we felt that for £5.00 it was over priced considering you could get a hot pie and a drink for £4.00. Overall an enjoyable occasion in a beautiful setting.
