This amazing Victorian garden was created by James Bateman for his collection of plants from around the world. A visit takes you on a global journey from Italy to the pyramids of Egypt, a Victorian vision of China and a re-creation of a Himalayan glen.
The garden features collections of rhododendrons, summer bedding displays, a stunning Dahlia Walk in late summer and the oldest surviving golden larch in Britain, brought from China in the 1850s.
The Geological Gallery shows how Bateman's interests went beyond botany. Opened in 1862 the unique hallway is a Victorian attempt to reconcile geology and theology.
There are narrow gravel paths and over 400 steps throughout the garden.

10/10 Excellent

"Good sized room. Very quiet. Comfortable bed. Looked fairly new.Good value Grill restaurant won't get any Michelin star's but wasn't bad and reasonable price. Only niggle was that figuring out the shower controls wasn't easy, especially when you're being sprayed with cold water."
