One of the loveliest gardens to visit in St Austell. Good value. Lovely staff. A real oasis of peace , tranquility and beauty and I would choose to visit here over the Eden project every time because I don't feel taken advantage of with the cost of the entrance fee. Chang and his team work very hard to preserve this lovely oasis of peace. A must visit if you're coming to St Austell.

I expected a beautiful walk in the gardens "for peace and tranquility " as they advertised. But was unable to enjoy these gardens and had to leave with a terrible head ache. Mid day they started to cut their grass with industrial cutting machine..and it was just too loud. Not the normal sound you get from mowing the lawn, but more like industrial construction site drilling. It was utterly horrible. It made me want to flee park instantly and made very upset. I was not able to enjoy or experience the gardens. The noise was just too loud and it ruined my day. I just can't believe they would do it while guests are there..and expect people to pay full price, when guests cant use the gardens. Wasted 30 pounds. Just another money milking machine.

5* garden. 1* cafe. Been visiting this beautiful garden for years. First visit post-lockdown, disappointed to find the great little cafe has been turned into more holiday lets. The ‘cafe’ is now a couple of marquees in the courtyard with much reduced menu (soup fresh from the microwave). Lunch accompanied by laundry, cars squeezing past, and a large rat. Gardens wonderful, the now well-established winter garden is excellent.

not worth the price for what you get, which is not what was advertised, as we booked a cottage and not a caravan... breakfast and dinner was supposed to be inclusive instead it's an added cost to the 2000 pounds for 7 night not worth it at all. there is no Dailly house keeping. no laundry services and no extra bedsheets. leaves a lot to be desired and would not recommend staying but the garden is lovely for a day visit.

For the money you spend here you would be better off paying a couple of pounds extra and visiting the National Trust House just a little further away, my wife and I wasted an hour and a half and £32. We carried on to the next National Trust House and had a fantastic time, beautiful house, gardens, estate, cafe,shop what a lovely place
