Review:
"...At the end of a cobbled street that contains many Tudor houses, the last house has created the most beautiful riverside garden that they open to the public. Talking to the owner they employ people to help them, and they donate the entry fees to charity. It really is the most stunning garden, and I was lucky to visit at a quiet time. Beautiful views of the castle and the mill further down. The people who live here are very lucky and extremely generous to share this beautiful location with us all..." - 325 reviews (nearly all 5 star) and 177 photos on Trip Advisor
