10 acre garden beautifully situated, making the most of fabulous views. Courtyard, terraces and rock garden close to the house. Pergola walk leading to lakes, woodland garden and summerhouse. Something for everyone. Tea room, craft shops and nursery.

Review of Burrow Farm Gardens

I visited Burrow Farm Gardens while staying in the area with friends. It was the most delightfull place. The varied aray of plants and trees offered lots of interest for even a non plants person as myself. I loved the fact that there were ponds, wild areas and some formal parts such as the Mallenium garden with a fish pond and rill and a ha ha overlooking fabulous countryside.

My dogs were welcome on leads, which is always an important part of my visiting gardens. The tea room with its conservatory overlooking the countryside was a joy and the cream tea delicious.

The owner was in the nursery and able to advise me on plants that were found in the gardens, which were for sale and if they were suitable for my Suffolk garden. Not all plants transplant well. She was very friendly and told us how she and her husband had come to set up the gardens fifty years ago!!

I would recommend this garden and all it has to offer to anyone with the slightest interest in plants, planting or who just enjoys the peace and tranquility of time spent in the countryside.

I must say there is also a delightful shop, which sells postcards of Burrow Farm as well as a range of gifts I found very useful for Christmas!!

Car parking was good as were the loos. I would suggest good shoes as its not all on the level but it was one of the friendliest and most picturesque gardens I have ever been to and I hope to go again this year when I come back to stay with my friends as the owner told us that there is something new every year.
