The changing seasons bring different highlights, with spring bulbs, summer blooms, and autumn colors each offering unique experiences. The glasshouse, when open, showcases exotic plants and provides a warm retreat on cooler days.

    While many find the gardens impressive, some reviewers note that certain areas of the property are still undergoing restoration. This ongoing work can occasionally impact the visitor experience, with some parts of the grounds or buildings being inaccessible at times.

    The cafe receives mixed reviews, with some visitors enjoying the refreshments and others finding the options limited or pricey. The gift shop offers a selection of plants and garden-related items, which is appreciated by many guests.
