We stopped here on our way down to Cornwall as an alternative to a service station. The food was good quality and was served in recyclable materials, although bizarrely the water was in plastic cups. The garden itself (we are HHA members) was something to behold. We don’t stay for long but all in all, definitely would stop there again!

Beautiful landscape, plenty of history. A lovely place to come for a stroll where the landscape will change with the seasons. A fun maze to go in and a lovely little cafe if you want to enjoy some of the views over a drink.

Small but very pretty and perfectly formed, ideal for all apart from those with mobility issues. There's a nice café area and the food looked very enticing. All the staff we encountered were very friendly and accommodating. Nice play area for older children was a surprise. Ample free parking with an adjacent toilet block. Dog friendly.

Beautiful Italiente gardens in the Cotswolds. Very family and dog friendly, cute cafe although we didn't eat as couldn't see anything gluten free (but we didn't ask about options). We saw some beautiful green woodpeckers and the bird song around the garden was stunning. It's obvious how much love and attention goes into the upkeep here. Highly recommend

Over the past three weeks, I’ve had the absolute pleasure of visiting Rococo Garden twice, and each visit has felt like watching spring gently unfold in real time. The gardens are truly breathtaking — beautifully maintained, thoughtfully designed, and constantly evolving as the season shifts. From the delicate blanket of snowdrops to the increasingly vibrant daffodils and hellebores, there’s colour, texture and quiet beauty at every turn. It’s a dream for photographers, nature lovers and anyone needing a peaceful reset. The café is equally lovely — warm, welcoming and the perfect place to pause. There’s a wonderful variety of paninis, delicious brownies and cakes, and excellent hot drinks to thaw out after a chilly wander. It adds such a cosy touch to the whole experience. I also adore the two little shops on site, both filled with beautiful, carefully chosen gifts — the kind you don’t see everywhere else. It’s very easy to leave with something special. Rococo isn’t just a garden; it’s an experience. A place to slow down, breathe deeply, and soak up seasonal beauty. I already can’t wait for my next visit. Photos by Rachel Gue Photography
