Blossom Cafe in East Hampshire

Just loved it you can tale your dog and so much to see .BRILLIANT

I work there as part of the miniature railway group, across the car park opposite the garden centre.

Our favourite place to go. There are so many footpaths and circular routes throughout the estate, which are wonderful to stroll along. Afterwards, you can visit Pavillions Tea Room for a delicious meal and great coffee. Wander the gardens and botanic walk, visit the garden centre which has a fantastic range of products and yet another cafe, or go to the farm shop and sit in the courtyard with a delicious ice cream. If you like historic houses, Stanstead House is interesting to visit. For kids, there is the maze and train. Best of all parking is free. Just as an aside.... the toilets in the gardens are the cleanest we have ever visited.

We have been enjoying proms in the park for a few years now and really look forward to it. Last night's show was terrible. The sound was poor, the one aeroplane display seemed like a token and there were no screens. We all the pay the same amount of money as previous years but for less ..... Why ?

The Proms brilliant as was the Spitfire. A pity the parachuting was cancelled but fireworks spectacular. We did prefer the old location of the stage although having the house view was good.

I visited this park as part of a walking group, very nice walks within this park and I would recommend it.

I absolutely love it here! Such a beautiful setting and I love the garden centre... only drawback is that I always end up spending too much when I go in because I want everything in the shop. 😂 The hand painted glasses are one of my favourite items. I was at Stansted House just a couple of weeks ago and enjoyed it as much as ever. My granddaughters were there with me for the first time and they had a great time. I can't wait for my next trip!

Visited the summer fete recently and was hugely disappointed. Seemed more about buying food and drink. Disgusted to find entrance to the house was an additional cost. No mention of this in the programme or other advertising of the event. Just wondering what our entrance fee paid for. Won't visit again. Ps if it was not for the good souls doing the reanctmnet this event would have been a complete waste of money and time.

Always great with helpful staff

This is a very lovely garden centre and place to visit. It really does have everything.

Disappointing. No play area for the kids and the train wasn't running. It's not clear from the website that the play area has been removed and in fact it's still shown on the map on the board at the entrance. The sign outside the train station does explain that it depends on weather and availability of volunteers but there is no way of knowing on the day whether it's going to be running or not so we (and others) stood waiting at the gate for 20 minutes before deciding it wasn't going to open. Thankfully parking is free so at least we hadn't spent any money on a wasted trip.

Stupendous house with amazing grounds

took some friends for afternnon tea,it was my first time along with our friends,my wife has been several times,everything about it was superb,the attentive staff,ambience and atmosphere were brilliant.WHY HAVE I NOT BEEN BEFORE? will certainly be back

Both the House and Chapel are most enjoyable. This is not an ancient house, but is very much a slice of its time (about 100 years ago). The Chapel must not be missed - makes you think a bit... But what 'made ' the House & Chapel were the volunteer guides. These are folks who all, in their individual & different ways, give life to these buildings. @StanstedHouse: don't change the way you select your guides- these all present as just honest folks who like to chat!

A delightful place to visit , house was interesting with very knowledgeable guides . Beautiful grounds and cafe was good too . All in all a great place to visit .

This review is for Pavilion Tea Rooms. It does not refer to the Stanstead Park Foundation. Google does not allow me to change the post. I have rated it 1 star because it is almost impossible to book by phone -- they do not answer. An answering machine would be an obvious solution. The location and the food is excellent. Not answering the phone is un professional

Needed a walk. Definitely my favourite place to walk.

We were lucky enough to walk past the house when it was open to the public for the day. It has a superb interior and experts who tell you interesting facts about the house and its history. My favourite part was visiting the cellars to see where the staff worked and lived.

Nice park but Stansted house is closed half of the year. Great nature with huge biodiversity, plants and trees from all over the world. Pretty gardens, farm shop, tea room are all great for a day out.

Great location to walk the dogs. Occasionally see deer. Dogs have plenty of places to sniff.

A very nice stately home. When we visited we were met by very friendly and knowledgable staff inside the house who told us a lot about its history. The park is also a lovely place to walk around.

We attended the Summer Festival and it was a wonderful experience. The most interesting part was the re-enactment battles by the Napoleonic Association! It was truly a unique experience that we will never forget. Another really cool thing is the wide range of luxurious vintage and modern cars ranging from Rolls Royce to Bentley. (We even saw a Ferrari!) Overall, it was a great day out, the staff were friendly and the house was beautiful.

we enjoyed the Coronation Chicken baked potato BUT we were unable to enjoy any desserts as there was no gluten free items. What a shame, when so many of us have found that being gluten free makes a huge difference to our lives.

Amazing and beautiful place to visit relax and even make a picnic with your family or friends no barbecues ok you can do long walks and the Stansted House is outstanding I can recommend this place

Beautiful place to visit, very popular.... Don`t enjoy garden centres and farm shops too much but what they have there are top notch. Look forward to going back next year when the house reopens in April.

Such a gorgeous venue. The halloween event is so good! Highly recommend.

Lots to buy if you have money burning a hole in your pocket. The grounds are beautiful and well kept, I like that the plants and trees are labeled so you know what your looking at. Not much fun for pushchs with thin wheels as I got stuck a good number of times. The train was a brilliant 10 mins of time donated.

A perfect place for all the family, excellent planting

As always the tearoom was lovely with amazing scones. The gardens were all looking beautiful, however I was very disappointed to see that they have taken the play area away. I do hope they will build a new one as there wasn't much for my young children to do.

Attended Stansted Unlocked, fabulous day out, great time had. Loved the re-enactments, and the Grenadier Guards Band as well as the other musical entertainment. First time of being inside the house, really enjoyed looking around. I hope something similar is arranged for next year. Loved the fact that for parents they didn't have to spend a fortune on tat. Good old fashioned but very enjoyable, picnic, walking the grounds, train ride and being a family.

Visited during the garden show, a brilliant day out walking around the grounds, recommend the cafe, although a little pricey.

Great garden centre with a great if pricey farm shop. Several concessions.

Great place to visit for some unique gifts tho a little pricy for some things but still unique items cost a little more and staff are always friendly and helpful sometimes it's worth spending a little more and this is one of those places I'm happy to do that

Always a lovely garden centre to visit great location great atmosphere

I really like both garden shop and food shop. A little over priced, but excellent quality, well worth paying for.

Only garden centre and frm shop open

Just had a lovely visit here this afternoon. Truthfully we had intended to go to Keydells but it was extremely busy considering the time we're in. Glad we decided to visit Stansted garden centre instead. It was our first ever visit, but not our last. Lots of lovely things to buy, really pleased with the choice & prices 👍😍.

Such a lovely place to visit love walking around the grounds then enjoy tea and cake in the cafe.

Terrific place for all the family. Very well run.

Love it. Great walks. Handy guide with interesting information about walks can be downloaded from website. Also coffee shop /cafe within garden centre marvelous.

Really good garden centre and not over priced.

Beautiful forested area, well managed. Good selection of marked routes throughout.

Fantastic place....with a lovely coffee shop that does hot meals as well as snacks. They have a seating area just outside of the coffee shop purely for people who have their dog(s)with them as long as they don't relief themselves whilst inside. Garden centre is large with a good supply of plants at competitive prices.

Lovely venue with great farm and garden shops and a great tearoom.

It gets very busy, but a lovely place

First time here, and an interesting garden centre to wander around.

Shop is a lot bigger and better brought a pair of shoes and pair of boots

Visited their new cafe in the Coach House. Beautiful venue, homemade fare at reasonable prices. Very nice. Sat in the courtyard in the sunshine with homemade soup and bread. Totally recommend

Always a nice clean and friendly place and lots of things to look at, ie clothes, garden stuff plants, farm shop etc 😍😍

My garden looks lovely with all the plants I bought and I thought it was cheap as well.

Excellent, friendly staff and well presented.

Lovely place, but just too many people at the garden show. Social distancing....laughable!

Much improved layout inside and out side extra cafes as well as the provillian cafe .plants and pots very good quality

Stansted craft show. Lots to see. Wide range of crafts and lots of stalls to get food from.

Teo places to eat. Lovely pavilion tea rooms and garden centre cafe. Farm shop, ice cream to die for, made on premises. Maze House and railway not yet reopened except weekends?

Lots have been done to the garden centre here since pre-covid worth a visit

Lovely day out will be back in future to see the house

A nice visit. Everything in cardboard due to covid and sat outside.

Beautiful garden, maze ,3 cafes and a garden center .Lovely food friendly staff.

Looked on their website and it clearly stated that they opened for breakfast at 9am arrived just before then only to be told ' oh our website info is wrong, we don't open until 10am' Only explanation, we can't change the banner on our website.. no apology offered very disappointed.

Most enjoyable afternoon in perfect surroundings.

Garden centre has it cracked. Doibg well in covid times

Free to park and walk around. There's a Garden centre , farm shop and cafe and lovely tea rooms with super out door seating.

Great garden center and interesting farmshop

Nice place to go for a walk around. The Pavilion Tea room and garden centre are worth a visit

I was pleased when I visited I went to have a look at hot tubs we were met by a very friendly man called Keith who talked us through all the options he took his time there was no rush,he is very knowledgable we had a look round and loved the they way everything was laid out and at reasonable prices we will definitely visit again

Beautiful gardens and lovely garden centre.

I don't hate this place, it was my first thim, it was excellent

It is just the most lovely place to be -rain or shine...

A wonderful place to go for a visit. Good garden centre. It's nice to explore the grounds and the tearoom is a real gem. All the staff are happy and friendly. The mini steam trains are great fun for all the family and the food store is stocked with lots of quality products.

Lovely place to visit and have a tea & cake or a meal. A little isolated for the mobile signal (which can be a blessing) ..

Delivered to cafe lovely clean place

It's well laid out you can everything you need from gardening to clothes and there is a very nice cafe it's kept very clean and plenty of food choices

Good value. Great staff and we'll presented plates of food

New cafe is really pleasant, food was good and lots of it. Outlets seemed busy.

One of mine and my fathers favourite places for a browse and tea ..staff and food lovely

Beautiful gardens with a variety of offers in the cafés

A garden centre with the usual facilities and products, but 3 different food and drink facilities! There is a good but fairly standard cake and drinks area, a top end facilitie, great cakes and posh afternoon teas, where booking is advisable and in a high end food area an area for tasty food and drinks.

Everything you could want for here. Afternoon tea, children's play area and a nice walk even a miniature railway running on certain days and of course a delightful garden centre. Oh and you can have breakfast or lunch in the garden cafe.

Absolutely fabulous cafe and sevice

Kids model train garden maze meat counter
