This year the house and grounds have been decorated by the National Trust on the theme of a Winter Carnival and it is a really impressive display both within the house and in the grounds with a light show on the stables and also on the house and an "interesting" lighting show in the grounds. A really great day out and the Terrace Cafe is to be recommended

Set high above the Thames with far-reaching views, Cliveden’s impressive gardens and majestic woodlands capture the grandeur of a bygone era. There's lots going on around the estate whether it's for a gentle stroll through the formal gardens or a race through the woods with the children, dogs and adults - Cliveden has something for everyone, and everyone's welcome!
Such beautiful gardens need a visit. Families and dogs are welcome which is lovely to see. The water gardens and pools reminded us of Monets paintings. There is a playground for children, lovely sculptures about the gardens, lots of different specimens of trees and flowers including a rose garden planted with David Austin roses. The smell was delightful!

The scale, grandeur and beauty of Stowe has inspired writers, philosophers, artists, politicians and members of the public from the 18th century to the present day. Since the National Trust acquired the gardens in the late 1980s, an ambitious programme of restoration has ensured that over 40 temples and monuments remain, gracing an inspiring backdrop of lakes and valleys with an endless variety of walks and trails, a delightful visit, any time of year.
These are the most spectacular gardens to visit. Be prepared to walk about 3 miles and use the map provided at the entrance to get the best experience. There is a buggy ride if you need it.After a short walk from the New Inn, you enter the gardens and are treated to a spectacular view across the lake towards the house. As you walk around the estate, you come across quirky structures, statues, glades and more. There’s a surprise around every corner. Stowe is a wonderful example of 18th century opulence- a great example of showing off about wealth , a legacy that we can still enjoy today.

My husband and I booked a spa day experience with Stoke park and I have to say, I've never felt so relaxed in my entire life. Was worth every penny spent. It's one of those places you just cannot explain the brilliance of...you just have to go and experience it! My favorite part was the outdoor hot tub and the absolute superb staff members who helped us forget about our extremly busy lives . We will definitely be going back there soon. Highly recommend!!

The absolyicing on the cake was an impromptu glass of bubbly ???? My plan is to return for their HD brow treatment and try out a yoga class
