点评:I came here several years ago when the garden was very much being re-developed and now ... wow! We were so lucky to come when the incredible collection of peonies and many of the roses were in full flow. The planting was superb, from the shady border with slug free hostas (the nematodes obviously doing a great job) and other mixed borders with plenty of promise for further into the season. In other areas we particularly appreciated the informality of roses planted within the long meadow grasses and the really impressive collection of trees. We took our time wandering around the garden, down to the river and back up the long lawns and around the gem of a house. We started with a lovely lunch in the eclectically decorated cafe and finished with tea and cake - a perfect afternoon.
