You won't be disappointed if you visit these fabulous magical gardens with something around every corner - a gem find in beautiful countryside - gorgeous tearoom and terrace - yummy homemade food and cakes to die for and lovely friendly staff - been twice already and will be back bringing more friends - for adults and children

What a fantastic place! So glad we decided to visit. The gardens are gorgeous- very well thought-out and something different to see everywhere you turn.

Our children loved their time here. Our 5 year old loved the Africa, pirate ship and Alice in wonderland gardens and our 16 month old was entrigued by the elves and all of the water features. Very child-friendly with all areas easy to access with a pushchair and safe for a toddler to explore (under supervision around the water features/pools obviously).

We loved not having a map to follow- it was good to just wander and find each garden in turn- this really added to the sense of adventure for our little boy too.

What a fabulous place to visit. Beautiful gardens, wonderful hosts. Thank you so much for making us feel so welcome. Definitely worth revisiting, kind regards ..Reynolds Court Residents Association, Ross on Wye

We visited today with Granny and 3 children (5,9,11). What a fabulous place! I'm not sure what I was expecting but it definitely surpassed it! The gardens are wonderful and on the second time round we found things we had missed at the beginning! So much to look at the children loved every minute from favourite stories and fairies to the dragon maze ( its a bit spikey!) personally I loved watching the fountain .. I could sit there for hours!

Also the home made cakes were to die for! and the roast being served to the table next to us smelt amazing! we will be back!

We visited because of the Halloween themed nights. We thought it would be simple but fun, we were so wrong. The effort, effects, lights, staff, fun, attention to detail was amazing. We had a Halloween meal in the restaurant, great imagination & effort. Wished we lived closer for Christmas displays, as we were on holiday in the area!

We had a fabulous day out to the gardens last week. A real hidden gem. Loved the musical fountain and monet Garden so peaceful. The kids enjoyed the Green Man and kept returning to get cooled off! A particular thank you for the superb lunches � according to my fussy child the best meal of the holidays (steak pie).

We had a excellent time with our daughter walking through the Halloween decorations. In fact we left the Grandparents there to go around for a second time. Lovely food and friendly staff. We'll be coming back again ��

We all really enjoyed a visit here today. The gardens are really good. Well worth visiting again

Visited with a coach party. Wonderful gardens, really enjoyed it, especially when the sun came out. Very usual and quirky. I've already recommend visits to friends.

Visited for the second time in a week. The gardens are fun and magnificent and they kept my 14 year-old daughter enthralled and away from Pokémon Go.



The drinks and lunch afterwards were delicious and good value.



We'll be back.

Visited a couple of days ago with my daughter and grand children and we absolutely loved it, so much to discover in every nook and cranny.I especially loved the Mad Hatters tea party and the beautiful dahlias. .We had a very nice meal too although I do feel the prices are a bit excessive and the choice a little limited.

Took my nearly 5 year old Great Neice - excellent evening out at Ralph Court Gardens - amazing displays and plenty of Christmas magic to keep her entertained. Would thoroughly recommend - great way to spend some special Christmas time with kids (...and adults!!). Please support this, they have done a cracking job, have a great café and in all a lovely place

Thoroughly enjoyed our time there, and would definitely recommend. The staff were pleasant and helpful, the food was delicious, and all the different gardens are great fun - lots of variety and colour, and lovely scenes and vistas.

The gardens are wonderful, with windy paths & surprises around every corner. The food is very good quality & the staff are great, especially with children.

Our first time visiting and we were not disappointed. We loved the different themed gardens which were stunning. We were also tricked by Jack �� Definitely worth a visit and the staff were very helpful. We had tea and cake which was homemade. We will definitely come back on a warmer day �

My second visit to these beautifully maintained quirky themed gardens, ideal for all the family. The structure and design gives youngsters the opportunity to run around exploring.

Followed by a cream tea in glorious sunshine. My Grandson aged 8 delighted in the little theatre listening to opera and watching the singer dummy from the balcony.

My favourite place. So much effort has gone into the gardens. Visited the Halloween special and it was brill. Went again last night for Christmas special, fab again. Well done all involved.

Magical place to visit surprises round every corner and lovely Sunday lunch too will definitely be visiting again as our 3 year old loved it.

Lovely gardens. Something for everyone. Well put together. Well spaced out as visited with my mum in law who can't walk far. Lovely coffee too.

Lovely enjoyable afternoon. Beautiful gardens,something for every one including children.

Excellent Sunday lunch too. Well done ✅

I have already spread the word. Worth a visit.😀

It is a wonderful garden. The flowers are amazing and the paths go round a nd round into lots of small gardens with themes from fantasy, elves, dragons and mythology, etc. One garden is devoted to 'Alice in Wonderland. There are live chickens, ducks and turkeys in various places. Fountains are playing in some of the gardens. The restaurant serves excellent food. I would certainly recommend this place for all ages.

I have not had such a relaxing day in a long time. The gardens must have taken decades to get to where they are. There is something for everyone and a new surprise around every corner. The food in the restaurant was of a very high quality, home made and very tasty. It's ideal for kids as long as you keep an eye on them as there are some large bodies of water. Absolutely fantastic.

Had a lovely day on Sunday visiting Ralph Court Gardens. Just love the imagination and the coffee and cake stop were great too!

Had a great couple of hours in the sun with two children, aged 10 and 6. Loved looking at the different themed gardens. Especially loved being tricked by Jack and the dancing fountains in the Italian garden.

Food was a little pricey but very good quality and lovely to sit outside. Cafe also immaculately clean and service with a smile.

Bonus points for The Great Ralphio!

Had a fantastic visit to the gardens today with my nephew (4) and our little one (18m). Beautiful gardens that both children were enchanted by! Somehow we lost 4 hours wandering around - will definitely be visiting again!

First time I've been here considering its on my doorstep ...been meaning to visit for awhile and I'm glad I did ...I came with my youngest son and sister with her youngest boy...we all had a lovely afternoon here.enjoyed a drink and the boys had an ice cream after wondering around the beautiful gardens ..staff were friendly ...and we will be returning with friends next time to enjoy the afternoon tea ....

Fantastic place! Our 16 month old loved it and walked/ran all the way around by himself just wanting to see what is behind the next corner.

Entry fee and refreshments good value for money, definitely be returning soon.

Beautiful flowers and plants arranged into wonderful gardens all with a different theme. The views from the Cafe are fabulous and the cream scones and tea finished off a perfect day. Will definitely visit again to see it in another season.

Amazing place- definitely worth another visit. Full of surprises and delight for all ages.

Absoulutely lovely well maintained gardens. Plenty of benches if you need to sit down awhile. Although the overflow carpark is a slight drive away, the gate to exit on foot is directly Opposite the main gate and carpark. This isn't explained well, we thought we'd of been in for a fair eld walk had we parked in the overflow but not so. The overflow is also a grassed area so you can picnic there with a blanket. The staff were friendly. I'd definitely recommend a visit.

Absolutely gorgeous fantasy gardens whatever the weather, I visited several times over the summer and the Halloween event, truly a triumph of imagination and skill. The restaurant is wonderful too, the cakes are sublime.

Absolutely beautiful, as someone who cant stand anything to do with plants ect i loved it, plus have recomended to others, definately be visiting again.

We didn't,t have time for garden this time. So we had tea and cake. Lovely member of staff, pot of tea nice but cake was very dry. (Chocolate and G.F. Jungle cake.)

Will go back to see gardens and probably eat.

Regards Sheila.

I was very impressed by the beauty of the gardens and we'll put together it was. Very enchanting. We enjoyed a lovely homemade lunch in restaurant area and the staff were very friendly. My only criticism was it was a little expensive seen as it only took us a couple of hours and not really anything for the children. I would also allow people to have picnics as not everyone can afford the meal prices. Overall very enjoyable.

I can't quite decide if this is whacky or tacky. Some nice areas for kids but then there are lots of do's and don't s. I understand they don't want litter left by picnicking but who can afford the prices in the cafe? My friend had a sausage baguette... One sausage sliced in half on a baguette... Not worth & 3.95.Glad we were on a two for one ticket.....

A trip out and good value. Could use more dragons tho � lol

The gardens are charming and its a lot of fun but I was unimpressed by how stuffy it was for children in the tea room area.

I was 'told off' for suggesting the children could play on the lawn while we drank our coffee on the grounds they 'needed to be supervised at all times near the water features'. I understand the need for safety but there are no water features anywhere near the lawn by the tea room. This was unreasonable on a fun family day out and we left much sooner that we probably would have.

Nicely laid out but not enough flowers for me and I thought it was expensive eight pounds no concession for papa

Lovely gardens but staff were rude, they made it very obvious that children are not welcome, I will not be returning.
