Visitor Reviews of Godolphin Garden

Google Visitor Review Score 4.4 stars

Don’t take our word for how genuinely super these gardens are. Here is what visitors to Godolphin Garden had to say:

Editors Note: People have commented on how the gardens are not as pristine as other NT gardens but this seems to be deliberate to show how the gardens were meant to be originally – I think!

“Loved the wild gardens with primroses, fritillaries and violets.”

“Beautiful gardens and walks. Dog friendly within the gardens.”

“Lovely walks near by, love the Cafe with book shop, a former pig’s style. The food was lovely, and atmosphere.”
