I really enjoyed my breakfast here. I loved that I could get a vegan croissant and they had so many delicious looking options too! The avocado toast I ordered was a generous portion and had a lovely balance of flavours. It was clearly made with care and effort. I would definitely go back!

I was pleasantly surprised by how quirky and intriguing this house is. All of the staff were very helpful (eg. finding a space to store my wet umbrella) and we were given anecdotes and insights by multiple different staff members as we wandered through. This added greatly to the experience, as I really had no idea of these details beforehand.

I've never been anywhere quite like this house and it's well worth exploring and learning about it's history. I think the grounds would also be lovely with better weather.
We went to the cafe had some very nice lunch, which included a vegan option for me. The space is light filled and a really nice spot to gaze out over the gardens.

Absolutely worth a visit and wander. It's a beautiful space, even after such dry, hot weather. There are some placards explaining the history and species, although I wish I'd had a guided tour or a bit more information. Nonetheless, the space is a lovely place to relax and enjoy. The cactus house was closed and I got the impression from the locals in the park that it's not often open to the public.
