From the moment we arrived we were delighted with our visit to Capel Manor. We last visited in August 2019 and were anxious what we would find. The gardens were exceptionally well tended and maintained with hardly a weed in sight. All of the plots looked very well cared for, which made for a relaxing and enjoyable time. Capel Manor is different from large national trust or other country house gardens. Much of it is made up of over 30 small and medium sized individual gardens, similar in size to regular front and back gardens. These are along a 'street' - Sunflower St and a good place to start your visit. Right at the start is a Japanese garden, then in different styles including in Victorian, cottage, contemporary, mediterranean and so on. There are also a number of gardens that have won awards at Chelsea flower show and been moved there. These include an Australian style garden, growing in faith garden and one using recycled materials. April is a lovely time to visit with all of the tulips coming out, apple and cherry blossom, late daffodils and many other spring bulbs. Most of the gardens were colourful and interesting and some displays of tulips were exceptional. There is also a large walled garden close to the house which was looking wonderful. There is plenty of space with large lawns, a lake, a temple, and a modern 'ruin' on the site of the original house. This has the most striking white garden and has been set up for outdoor weddings. There is plenty to engage adults and children, keen gardeners and armchair gardeners. If you want to learn more about gardening then the Which trial area show some new varieties of plants that are being tested to see how well they grow. Will be back again later in the year for a return visit.

An enchanting place to visit at any time of year. Delve into the beautiful eight acres of Myddelton House Gardens and discover the compelling story of Edward Augustus Bowles, one of Britain’s most famous self-taught gardeners, artists and expert botanists.
Found an offer via social media to visit Santa at Middleton House. Only had to purchase a ticket for my Grandson and no other fees. We were greeted by friendly staff and shown the order of our visit including a letter to Santa, colouring in of decoration of his choice. We sat down and enjoyed a light, fresh lunch including a children’s pack and hot drinks. At our allocated time Santa’s elf came and collected us to visit Santa in his grotto. They had the theme quite right, beautifully decorated. Our Grandson happily discussed his Santa’s letter and chose his present which was very generous. No hustle or bustle, really well organised and relaxing calm experience unlike over crowded Santa visits we have experienced in the past. Beautiful gardens with lots of history, lovely staff and perfect tea room. We will be back.

Trent Park is a lovely place to visit and is surrounded by beautiful countryside. You can choose to walk one of the special routes laid out in the park or just wander at will. There is a small wildlife sanctuary along with a children's playground. It is a lovely place in which to picnic or alternatively you can have some lunch in the cafe.

I had a full body yesterday by Antonia and she literally has magical hands. Originally I was just going for a message to relax but woke up that morning and had pulled a muscle in my neck and it really hurt but Antonia was so good and I felt so relaxed afterwards. Highly recommended A***

Have visited Forty Hall many, many times before and during lockdown. It offers so much - a walled garden, spaces to sit/picnic, a lake, fishing, a working farm, a farm shop and vineyard. Once a month there is a farmer's market. The house is worth a visit. Great starting point for some amazing walks. Absolutely love the place. Highly recommend.
