Reviews of Polesden Lacey
TripAdvisor Review Score 4.3/5 Stars
Don’t take our word for how super these gardens are. Here is what visitors to Polesden Lacey Gardens had to say:
“Wonderful gardens & house visit all year round.
Great walks through the gardens and woods on both sides.
Lovely main cafe with excellent range of hot food and cakes. Very good value. Always home made and good quality.”
“Outside a stroll through the walled gardens or through the wider estate are most rewarding and it is even possible to hire the croquet lawn by the hour for this most genteel but vicious sport.”
“Lovely interesting house and great walks and views in the gardens.”
