About Ivy Cottage

Best enjoyed in Spring for displays of bluebells, narcissus, tulips and wisteria. Ivy Cottage presents a pergola inviting further into the garden with its borrowed views and many mature oak (250yrs+), ash, maple and other trees. Wildlife attracted by the large waterlily pond thronging with fish, dragon and damsel flies. The space is a haven for birds, butterflies, bees and gardened mainly with nature in mind. Herbaceous borders, a dry garden and dell make this a place to quietly reflect on nature, take photographs or put up an easel and have a picnic.

Ideal for outdoor book reading and yoga.
