Thank you for Liking Gooderstone Water Gardens. We are open on Mothering Sunday, Garden and Tearoom. Now that's an idea!

The gardens are open on Mothering Sunday and Jane will have the Tearoom open!

better then I expected, wheelchair/mobility scooter accessible. so much to see. the cakes were to die for in the lovely little cafe. a little gem in the deepest part of Norfolk.

What a wonderful, peaceful gardens to visit. �

The sounds of the running water and the wind through the many trees made it especially enjoyable for my blind friend.

It was lovely to be able to have some homemade GF cake with my coffee in the tea room too, as usually I have to go without.

We'll definitely be back next time we're in the area. �

We had a really nice time wandering around at our leisure. Looking at all the beautiful plants and water gardens. We didn't follow the map, we just roamed about at our own pace. Will definately return at different times of the year to see the different seasonal planting.

Well worth the entrance fee, and a fabulous tea room where you also buy plants.



The parking was limited, but a car left as we were waiting for a space, so only waited a couple of minutes. We arrived about midday though.

We had a lovely time walking round the gardens. The weather was not great but still a lovely garden. Went into the cafe for coffee could not sample the extensive selection of cakes as we were going out to lunch.Cafe was very dog friendly and supplied dog biscuits,

We had a fantastic day out here with the all the family and two young nephews, the oldest of which is 18 months. There are so many flowers and creatures to see, it kept my eldest nephew occupied for the whole day we were there. He even got to "kiss" a frog that came to say hello. The other visitors were really friendly which meant my nephew had more people to "talk to" and wave to across the water! Whilst we sat down and ate a selection of the delicious cakes, he had to watch the lady bake a cake which he was disappointed was not for him! Great place to practice flower/garden photography as well as bird photography. Highly recommend a visit here, children or no children as it is very tranquil and relaxing.

This was our second visit to these lovely gardens. Such lovely colours, well kept and we even saw a kingfisher this time, but it went before I could take a picture. Lovely sausage rolls, home made cake and coffee for lunch served with very friendly staff. Lovely day for a wedding reception! �

This Was Our Second Visist too the Water Gardens and we also Brought along a few Family Memebers too .We all Had a Lovely Relaxing time walking around the Gardens and taking in all the Beautiful Scenery ,we Visit the Tea Room for a Nice cup of tea & Some home made Cake.



Got Some Lovely Photos and Got Some Great Close ups of the Kingfisher too which im very very Happy With .



We all Would Highly Reccomend Coming Here too Anyone.

The gardens are well worth regular visits as they change with the seasons. Wonderful to see the swans and their nest today. Very peaceful place. The tearoom is a must real home baked food , we had a cheese scone before our walk and a fruit scone jam and cream at the end of walk (delicious). Plenty of seats to just take it all in .

Such a beautiful place. A little piece of heaven on Earth. My husband & I loved it so much, we had our wedding there! With it's glorious flower displays and beautiful bridges, Gooderstone is the most relaxing way to spend a day!

Lovely place for a wander and cuppa tea and cake in the tea room.

Kids loved it, didn’t want to leave at 5.30! We took a picnic and spent 4.5 hours there. Lovely staff, picturesque, peaceful, great entrance fees for family’s as all under 16’s free. Will definitely be back in the Summer Holidays.

I'm so pleased I found this little gem in the Norfolk countryside. Peace, tranquility and the perfect place to relax and unwind. I was delighted to see a kingfisher (first time ever). Lovely tea room with lovely cakes and very friendly staff. Highly recommended

Had a lovely afternoon the gardens are beautiful a fantastic peaceful setting. A gem in the Norfolk countryside. It's been 38 years since I was last here. The coffee shop was great lovely sandwiches,cakes, teas and coffees. Staff were so nice.

Gorgeous gardens, lovely day out.

Found a leaflet by chance and decided to make a visit. What a beautiful place. Absolutely loved it and will definitely be going back. Fully recommend to anyone who loves walking and beautiful plants and scenery. Great day.

Every time I visit is a treat. Beautifully kept gardens and waterways. The cakes are scrummy too.

Even on a cold February Saturday there was plenty to see and we spent over an hour here. Our second visit but our first was nearly 10 years ago so it brought back happy memories.

A weekend camping trip nearby saw us looking for activities to do within the area although not loads to do in this part of the world we came across this little gem! I was expecting it to be rather nice from the views, though was simply stunning, especially taking into account the story behind it. A great family legacy to a lot of hard work that has gone into creating this garden over the years. I would recommend to anyone who wants a peaceful walk round some tranquil gardens for a couple of hours. A really tasty scone & good cuppa was also enjoyed at the end of our trails.

A truly beautiful and peaceful place to visit. Unspoiled natural beauty surrounds you.
