The Garden

Guests are very welcome to explore and enjoy our beautiful mature south facing garden. We believe that many of the older trees and shrubs were planted by Rev. Manning who was the first Rector to live here. The grounds extend to 3 acres and contain a wide variety of plants. The woodland garden has magnificent rhododendrons, azaleas and camellias under planted with meconopsis and primulas. Further up the slope stroll along the herbaceous border to Hardy's Seat- a place as peaceful today as when Thomas and Emma sat here over 100 years ago. Behind the high stone wall travel back in time to the walled kitchen garden and see where we tend our freshly grown produce. We serve fruit from the garden whenever possible and our free range hens produce the freshest eggs.
