Very extensive gardens...I can see why you loved the place. Even with rain and cloud it still looks lovely. I hope you do get to fit in a return one day soon, Arlene.

Looks brilliant, what a lovely garden to walk round, could get lost in that one for a few hours. Thanks you for the pictures they are excellent.

Lovely garden Arlene?

What an interesting garden, I like the long narrow bedding, so easy to see and tend to. Some interesting plants too. Not sure what the small building is/was?

~ they have a lovely shop area to sell their plants and tomatoes and have cakes and drinks and an extensive library of reference books that you can sit and read whilst having a cuppa..
The day we arrived was the last of their open days this year but we were too late having spent quite a long time at Rosemoor~ the advantage for us was that we could wander about when no one else was there .
This is the third time we have been~ although when we first went they used to do B and B. They now do self catering and the apartment we had was spacious and felt like home from home.

highly recommended!

This looks a wonderful place to relax, Arlene. Is the stone building an old adit ?

I think it is just a water feature~
