The Garden House

The Garden House is a place where time slows down and every season brings something new. Set across 10 beautifully managed acres, this enchanting garden weaves history, design, and horticultural flair, all rooted in the rich story of nearby Buckland Abbey and the surrounding church lands.

Once you've explored the grounds, settle into the charming on site café, serving fresh, homemade fare and traditional Devon cream teas. 

Don’t Miss:

 • The Acer Glade in October, a riot of colour beneath the tree canopy

 • The architectural interest of the Walled Garden and its seasonal planting

 • A quiet moment with a book in one of the many benches hidden among blooms
