Due to the recent weather condition (very hot and dry) the gardens are not at their best at the moment but there are still gems to be found. There is a fig tree which looks as if it is going to produce a lot of...More
Hi Dave, Thank you for your review. Yes the weather is so dry. We are really glad you enjoyed your visit and please do come back when we have had some rain and see everything burst back into life.
The gardens were really unkempt and dried up. Yes there has been no rain for some time but there were plenty of taps. Our guide was new to the job but simply read from a booklet. She knew no plant names. The restored summer houses...More

This is a wonderful place, hidden away in Warwick, entrance just off a car park by the racecourse, you wonder if you are in the right place! The gentleman behind the reception was extremely helpful and knowledgeable about the gardens. There was a good sized...More
Thank you for your lovely review. Sorry we couldn't supply the weather but we are really glad you enjoyed your visit.
