This small garden offers different 'garden rooms,' ranging from a formal area to our water themed, cottage and Mediterranean garden. There is a wide range of plants, from roses through to Abyssinian bananas and various grasses. Plenty of seating areas from which to enjoy the relaxing atmosphere whilst listening to the sound of the stream and perhaps enjoy afternoon tea and home-made cakes.
