Archerfield Walled Garden

Tomorrow we're welcoming an amazing raku pottery workshop to courtyard barn.

You don't need to come along for the whole session, just popping in for an hour will be enough for you to create your masterpiece. Tickets are ┬Ż40 and include your finished vase to take away as well as instruction from the raku master Natasha. You can message Natasha directly to book or come along and pay on the day.

Yesterday was my Birthday so I was taken there for lunch. The staff are very helpful and polite and courteous. Our food was lovely. My grandchildren love going there as they can play outside and its fully enclosed so nothing to worry about. It's not our 1st visit and definitely not our last visit. Keep up the good work

We were so lucky to of had our wedding at the most amazing Archerfield Walled Garden on 23rd June! Ross and his team are pure excellence, we are forever grateful to the effort and time that was put in from everyone here. Nothing was ever to much to ask for, incredibly friendly and made to feel so welcome. All our guests had the most amazing day as did we. The venue I knew I loved and would look fantastic but on the day me and my husband knew that everyone at The Walled Garden had completely exceeded our expectations. Tha m you!!! This place will forever hold a special place in our hearts! Xx

We were late in booking this for our children aged 9 and 5. We were not dissapointed, such a beautiful setting, both girls were mesmerised with it all. The fairy lights on the swing, the dancing fairy, all the lights and beautiful fairy houses. Overall a magical experience ­¤īĀ.

We visited Archerfield Walled Garden yesterday for afternoon tea which was lovely, your staff are very polite and courteous. Wonderful range of gifts in your gift shop and a super selection of food in the deli. All in all a most enjoyable afternoon. Looking forward to seeing the walled garden progress each year. Thank you.

We took our4 year old daughter and her friend and they had a ball! The fairy from the dance show was amazing the girls loved her and loved that she just appeared from the trees and interacted with them, dancing with them, pushed them on the swing etc! Brilliant event hope to go again next year! Xx

We really enjoyed the light trail, the tiny houses dotted around the paths, the magical fairy dance, the Fairy disco, the lights - the whole deal. Also good food and drinks stalls - great mulled cider!

The Christmas Fairy Trail was absolutely fantastic! My daughter and her pal loved it (even us adults). The fairy who was dancing and interacting with the kids was great. The lightning, music and even the fairy disco was great - everything stood out. Thank you, it was a great evening for Christmas eve ’┐Į’┐Į

So happy we found this place, an excellent place for lunch with a play area outside for kids and the fairy trail was so much fun, dog friendly too so weŌĆÖll bring our pup the next time, weŌĆÖll definitely be back thanks for a lovely day out!

Lovely afternoon tea with hubby .greeted by a mature lady who seemed to be in charge. Very polite and organised.

Our order was taken by a young lad called Lucas,very cheery,customer skills were spot on.

Will definitely be back

Just spent two wonderful days at the walled garden, lots of country walks in the extensive grounds and a lovely restaurant cannot praise this place highly enough

Had so much fun at the 'Canteen' - cool cars too and lovely food, music and lucky with the weather ­¤æŹ­¤Å╗Ōś║’ĖÅ

Had my daughters birthday party at walled garden today - fabulous afternoon tea for 11 kids, followed by the Christmas Fairy trail which was absolutely magical. I feel that she's had an experience she'll never forget for her 4th birthday (despite it being delayed for a day by the rain) and the whole experience was wonderful. Thank you all at Walled Garden.

Enjoy our visits to Archerfield.. loved the fairy trail .. kids playpark is good too..cafe and shop are great... definitely worth a visit ..

Beautiful grounds, delicious food - great wee place to visit.

First we had some lunch - food was lovely and the place just had a nice feel to it (if you know what I mean)

Had a go in the play park.

We then hired bikes from the lovely man in front of cafe/shop. We were given great advice on where to ride the bikes (down to yellow CraigŌĆÖs beach - stopping at a park in the woods on the way) - bike hire was great value for money. Will definitely visit again.

I loved the fairy ­¤¦ÜŌĆŹŌÖé’ĖÅ ­¤¦ÜŌĆŹŌÖĆ’ĖÅ trail and the beautiful dancing fairies made it magical!!!!! It was my first time there. The shop is amazing too!!!!

Very disappointed with Christmas fairy trail, expected slightly more than just the usual fairy trail lit up with some background music. As usual no fairies to be found as they had been stolen and live dancing fairy looked like she had smoked a joint before she floated about on stage. Some audience interaction with kids would have been good. More fairies required and should be checked daily.

Rude from greeting by young girl never gave eye contact or spoke. really disorganised.. had no idea what they were doing. given freezing cold scones had to ask for them to be warmed. certainly not customer service given at any time.. also how about taking a small charity donation to try out gins during the week and not expect pepple to pay silly prices for something they msy not like. not just give samples on a weekend.. totally not impressed

Nice place. Spoiled by prima donna attitude of chef on Sunday when I was being taken for a Fathers Day treat by my daughters. They serve cheese toasties. They also serve ham sandwiches. I am allergic to cheese but fancied a ham toastie. Because it wasnŌĆÖt on the menu, the waitress had to ask the chef. He declined the request. We saw him shaking his head. What a diva! Either that or the toasties are bought in ready prepared. Found the woman at the cake counterŌĆÖs manner rather curt too!

Had to wAit a very libg time fir precooked high tea for my Mothers 90th. Very hot and spoiled what was otherwise a nice day with family.
