Visited with my daughter and husband on Mother's Day. Lovely shop and little self service cafe with home made cakes. Enjoyed my tea and brownie before walking around the gardens. Lovely gardens with lots of nooks and tunnels to explore. No idea where we were heading most of the time but always a lovely garden or view at the end of every tunnel or pathway. At the end we found the second hand book shop that works on an honesty box. Lovely seating to meander through the books. A lovely relaxing place, a place for everyone young or old

An absolutely stunning gem of a garden. We have visited lots of times. A great place to visit for all ages. Children will love exploring all the pathways, temples and tunnels. You can feed the fish in the lake and stroke one too if you are lucky as they are very tame. The Chinese garden is a mastery of planting, every view a picture postcard. A great collection of trees of all kinds and a mix of formal and informal plantings. A must for any garden enthusiast. You really do travel around the world in this garden and it packs an awful lot in. The tearoom is good. It isn't a massive menu but more importantly it is all homecooked. We had the soups last time we visited which were excellent. This is a venue that will please even those who don't like gardens as it is so unsual and interesting! Definately one not to be missed.

Had a great afternoon with my three children exploring the extensive gardens. Fantastic Chinese garden area and interesting Egyptian inspired temple.

We spent an afternoon here. The gardens are beautiful all different types and all very well tended too. The old hall is lovely and the ice cream is not to be missed. Good value for money, it's good to see some of our historical sites been maintained and used,

Fantastic gardens to get little kiddies imaginations going. Walk through an English cottage garden, through Egypt, China, through small windy rock tunnels. Visit anytime, although Spring/summer is probably best. Not very good access for pushchairs/wheelchairs due to the nature of the gardens. Lovely little shop and tearoom.

We really enjoyed walking around the gardens, we wished we had gone in the morning to get the full benefit, will defo go back again. Good place to meet with friends and have a nice walk and a bite to eat.

On our first visit to these gardens, we received a very warm welcome, given good information and thoroughly enjoyed a walk around the gardens. In February, with snow on the ground, not a lot of people there. We loved it, and want to go back in the summer.

I came here with my two and five year olds along with other family members. The gardens we lovely although I think they would have been better in the summer. Access is not the easiest with a push chair. Anyone in a wheel chair would be limited in what they can see. Small second hand book shop was a nice addition. Would I go back? At some point but I won't be rushing to get back

Visited here after a stay at a near by hotel, so glad we did. It is certainly somewhere you can enjoy snapping your camera as we did. We noticed lots of young families walking round and I can understand why. Lots of exciting places to explore, and it was set out in a way which just lead you round. A lot of thought and detail has been put into these gardens. We will have to return in the summer to see it in full bloom, and I am sure we will see a completely different garden. And also have tea and scones outside as we normally do when visiting NT properties, always the best scones you can find ! The only difficulty I could see in this gardern is, it is not wheelchair friendly, and also not suitable for anyone who has difficulty in negotiating different leveled grounds.

The gardens of Biddulph Grange are beautiful and organised as if you are touring the world. As far as seeing the house I would say check before you go and see what particular exhibitions are or are not running. There are tea rooms of a reasonable standard.

Biddulph Grange Gardens is beautiful all year round. Easter egg hunts, Halloween with witches & pumpkins or a wander through the gardens on a lovely summer's day. You will not be disappointed. The children's trail is worth doing as you'll learn so much about the gardens. It's a great place to take children. Don't leave without stopping off in the cafe. This was an operating theatre in days gone by as Biddulph Grange was an orthopaedic hospital in the past.

Victorian garden, some parts restored. Beautiful rhododendrons. There are steps (a disadvantage for less mobile) but a nice cafe, shop & secondhand bookshop.

We live close by & as National Trust members we frequent the tea room, shop & gardens on a regular basis, I do how ever agree with a previous reviewers comments about the changed entrance prohibiting visitors to visit just the shop & tea room - surely takings must have been affected !
