National Trust - Tintinhull Garden

I had a stroll around this lovely garden today. My elderly father-in-law could manage with his stroller. It is a smallish garden, well worth a visit. A special place.

Tintinhull House and Garden is a National Trust property tucked away in the village of the same name. Its small but dedicated team of gardeners has rescued the kitchen garden from being almost completely overgrown during the 2020-21 lockdowns, and the rest of the beautiful Garden is benefiting from an incredible amount of tender loving care.

The House is available as a roomy, self-catering let including sleeping accommodation for 6-8 people, a fridge-freezer, Aga, and microwave oven. It also has generally good Wi-Fi in the kitchen and dining room (but not the stone-walled lounge). It doesn't have a downstairs WC and being a very old building nor does it have any kind of lifts available.

Please note that the House is normally booked up months in advance and this is not surprising given the beauty and peacefulness of the location. The worst disturbance you're likely to hear is the lowing of cattle on a nearby farm and perhaps the sound of the bedding being collected during the wee hours for laundering.

The Garden is the real star of the show for most visitors, and offers enough space, vistas, and insect life to entrance many a visitor. The volunteers and staff are friendly and capable, and there are plants on sale for suggested donations. Sadly, the pre-2020 cafe is no more. All in all, though I highly recommend this truly beautiful property for a relaxing visit.

At the time of are visit. It was very hot, in June 2022. But with the shade of the tree's it made it comfortable. My partner and I would definitely go back again.

Doesn't take long to go around the gardens. House is a holiday let and not something to look around. There was no café but they did have free water which was nice because it was 33 degrees. Had town of Tintinhull was pretty sparse in terms of eateries, so if you come to visit take a picnic. Close to Montacute and worthwhile doing both in the day.

Lovely afternoon visiting Tintinhull Gardens. Really nice staff in reception. The gardens are small compared to other National Trust properties bit still a really nice place to have a short stroll or sit and watch the world go around.

Lots of beautiful flowers to be seen and the kitchen garden was full of yummy looking food. It was slightly challenging with a pram I places but managed to see every thing on offer.

This is a small yet lovely National Trust garden to peruse around. It isn’t the largest estate you will visit but there is always something new to see in the gardens.

My only concern is that Tintinhull Garden needs to have more facilities to attract more customers, such as a tea room.

Absolutely beautiful. Only small gardens but lots of little paths taking you to different areas and views. Lovely sunny spots and shady spots and places to sit and admire the plants.

Fairly small but lots of interesting bits to see and so many beautiful flowers!

No cafe any more, but toilets are still open.
