What a wonderful place this is to visit and admire the amazing gardens. Such a variety of plants. Truly amazing. This is by far the best garden we have visited in a long time, and dog friendly too.The staff were friendly and very informative. We will definitely be going back again on our next visit to the Wes5 Country.

Absolutely love visiting Burrow farm, we have a season pass as we visit a few times through the year. The gardens have so many calm and lovely places to stand and watch the world go by. Perfect for a place to take the dogs for a walk. We always stop to have a bite to eat, lovely lunches always served by friendly happy staff. Also love to buy a plant or two to take home with us.

We went to visit these wonderful gardens today, so beautiful and tranquil and in the most stunning surroundings. Immaculately kept, full of plants, flowers and trees and an abundance of birds. The lake with fish, coy and tadpoles was a highlight for my husband. Lots of bluebells, rhododendrons and azaleas alongside different trees, look forward to going back later in the year to see what else blooms. The cafe was wonderful too, friendly staff, quick service and lovely food and drinks.

We had a very nice time here. It started with a good ploughman's lunch at the tea room. We had a nice walk round the gardens, stopping and sitting on benches admiring the numerous views. Then back to the tea room for tea and cake.
