Visited this beautiful house and gardens over St Patrick’s weekend. I thought the gardens were beautiful with lovely little trails to follow and lots of stunning specimen trees. If you love Magnolias and Camellias you will adore it. The house is stunning too, I’d love to do a tour of it too if this becomes possible in the future. I thought the audio presentation on the family who owned the house and gardens was very interesting and well done, the Stables cafe and gift shop I thought was great too - food was very good and normal kind of prices. It’s on the Greenway too so it would make such a lovely drop off point for refreshments. A really lovely place for a family day out, highly recommend.
The gardens are absolutely gorgeous!!! I walked around for two hours even though it was raining! I have so many photos that will definitely become paintings! There is a very good selection of products in the shop! The food is very good. Hot chocolate is delicious! The banoffee didn’t have much bananas… The employees don’t seem to know what they need to do. But maybe they were in training.
Although early in the season the gardens are serene and calming. I can only imagine how beautiful and colourful it will be as spring progresses. The paths are well marked with clear informative signage and plentiful with lots of little paths and steps to explore. Views I've the river are stunning too. I hadn't been since school trips in the 80s but am looking forward to another visit when flowers are in bloom. Cafe food is delicious and flat white was well made.
Just had a wonderful visit around the gardens. What's best about Mount Congreve is that there is more than enough to provide interest for the amateur right up to the professional gardener. The food offering was perfect and one of the best breakfasts I've ever had by far. What connects the experience for me as a visitor was the staff. Courteous, knowledgeable and friendly. I will be back.
My favourite place for a day out. Beautiful gardens with lovely trails, secret stairways and amazing bushes, trees and flowers. Unfortunately, tickets, gift shop and cafe are too expensive.
