A hidden gem in Birmingham! A beautiful family home where I could happily kick off my shoes, take a book from the shelf and sit looking out of one of the many windows overlooking the gardens. Lovely tea room serving light lunches, cakes and a variety of drinks. Access from the garden to Edgbaston Reservoir with a variety of water fowl. Another visitor had seen 8 herons the previous day!

The house and the garden are breathtaking. Would recommend it if you are interested in the house’s history or if you are a botanic or overall nature lover. It is a great way to shut off the external (everyday’s city noise) factors and just enjoy the quietness. The garden displays varieties of botanic species, worth seeing and exploring.

We think that only the most dedicated garden lovers could spend more than 3 hours here but the ground were well kept and had a good array of plants. The garden would be a sight to see in spring. We only spent time in the house on the ground floor, but what we saw there was of interest. The cafe offers a range of foods but we were too late for a baked potato at 1:00 pm
