Extremely Disappointed, Visiting the garden was frustrating. I informed the Trewithens Gardens by e-mail about our serious objections/complains regarding the useless side map, the poor marking of the roads, the absence of a paper map or leaflet. I proposed a number of possible resolutions. I received an e-mail informing me they were on holiday, real answer should follow-up. Never heard anything, it wasn't possible to respond their email.

Delightful wooded gardens, laid out so walking around them feels like an intriguing adventure. Very impressive range of shrubs. Trewithen is a place to visit multiple times a year and have a different experience each time.

What a beautiful place right on my doorstep too....met the head gardener Gary long and his apprentice Millie they were so friendly and full of knowledge didn't make you feel you were taking up their time. The tea shed made a wonderful end to our walk the cakes were delicious....would recommend anyone to go and take their family and grand children.

Absolutely stunning! A beautiful walk amongst brightly coloured Rhododendron, Azalea and other fabulous shrubs, bushes and trees. Fantastic place for wildlife, especially birds. I found a sundial in a quiet corner, and a fountain. I sat at a seat to enjoy the lakes and listen to the woodpeckers. There is a lot of seating to be found around the gardens. This is the ideal place for a picnic. The Garden Shed is a perfect stop for a beverage and a ploughman's followed by a cream tea!

A lovely cream tea with a large warm scone, delicious jam and a small "taster" of cake as well. Add in the fact that the individual pots of tea are a good size and you can get two cups worth out of them and I would say that this is a great spot. A bonus is that it is directly off of the car park so you don't have to pay any entrance fees to get to it.

Couldn't go into the house. Gardens are pretty but doesn't take long to walk round. There is a concession for disabled where carers go free, however this isn't shown on the website - so don't book tickets in advance! They also don't seem very aware on the rules of assistance dogs. Maybe we just went the wrong time of the year in September. The lovely tea room however serves great cream teas and some delicious homemade soup.

Lunch is only served 12-2pm, looked up online first and nowhere specified lunch serving time. Was a little disappointed as turned up at 2:20pm and no cream teas (ran out). We previously visited the past 2 years and love the tea room as it's superb food. Update few days later returned for lunch and was amazing food as always and savoury cream tea is just heaven! Recommend highly for amazing tea room and cream teas, just make sure if you want lunch you arrive before 2pm.

Mom and sisters brought tickets. 1:30pm lady at the ticket counter said there was no soup or quiche, however cream teas and cakes were available. They went to the cafe and waited 10 mins whilst the servers walked past. Ignored by the man and lady making drinks, after 5 mins a young lady acknowledged my sister's and mom and said there is no food available. So went to see the gardens. The family behind also acknowledged it was ridiculous to have no food for a lunch@ 1:30pm friday 15th September. Well done for a rubbish place for lunch. Gardens has poor signage And no maps available. Dont waste your time coming here

Trewithen is lovely sprawling gardens set in a huge country estate. They are beautifully maintained and spotlessly clean. We spent the day there and thoroughly enjoyed it. All the staff were lovely too, and a credit to the gardens and Cornwall in general.

Very well priced garden with a lovely and reasonably priced tearoom. I think it may depend on the time of year as to the plant interest in the garden, but hydrangeas were beautiful, as were the tree ferns. I found some unusual plants to buy. For me, there could have been better signage.

Lovely gardens. Had lunch in the tea room there. My only question is about serving food in takeaway boxes. Surely having food served on reusable good old fashioned crockery is better. Although the takeaway boxes are recyclable they still have to be manufactured, and they are only single use.

Very disappointing! Called after our walk around the garden. Setting is pleasant but very limited choices. Wife had soup and bread but I wanted a ploughman's and was told unavailable as they had no bread! Greek salad unavailable and nothing else suitable for lunch so had to make do with a cake. Staff not apologetic about anything.

After visiting the lovely gardens decided to stop for lunch at the Tea Shed as it is in a pretty setting. Only a few things on lunch menu, quiche, soup, greek salad and ploughmans. We both decided on the ploughmans, with an idea in our head of the usual salad, cheese, bread etc., what was actually served in a box was 2 wedges each of heavy bread, a lump of cheese a pickled onion, small bit of pickle and the smallest slither of apple imaginable, We were somewhat disappointed. The setting is pretty and the birds fly down to the table, but even they didn't want the breadcrumbs. Maybe just stick to tea and cake.

Trewithen is a delightful gem; beautiful gardens, friendly staff and lovely tea rooms. Shame there is no designated area for dogs to be let off lead after walking the countless paths but keeping dog on lead is a small price to pay for the enjoyment of wandering amongst majestic trees and flowering shrubs. This was my first visit but won't be my last .... going to invest in a season ticket.

On our recent holiday, we visited Trewithen Gardens for the first time and in the morning called into the Tea Shed for coffee (excellent) before exploring the superb gardens. Afterwards, went back to the Tea Shed for lunch and were not disappointed. Had delicious home-made quiche and salad. Later in the week called in for afternoon tea and enjoyed a piece of home-made cake. Always a warm welcome and friendly service in this peaceful setting. Next time we visit Cornwall the Tea Shed at Trewithen Gardens will definitely be on our list of places to visit again. (NOTE: You can visit the Tea Shed without paying to go into the gardens. Also, there is free parking, unlike The National Trust!).

Better maps and even a brochure to take with you as we wandered very aimlessly around and went 'off piste' !! No concessions for over 60's !! But was questioned if my partner used a walking stick, wheelchair or I was a carer??!! Would that have been a concession? Considering a large proportion of visitors would be in the concession age range , is that the reason why there are no concessions???

Sweet thick pastry, I had one bite and left it, being Cornish it was a disgrace to even call that a pasty! Definitely won’t return. Lower your prices and serve decent food

Maybe passed its best in July but why did the house shut on June 28th? No simple map leaflet on offer to guide one round...the occasional (and often partly hidden) maps on posters were haphazard. Couldn't find the wild flower garden ....the paths are confusing. The whole 'garden' looked uncared for and almost neglected. More effort needed to justify the £10 entrance fee. The cafe was the best thing about it.

Very impressed with the quality of the curry, chicken and ingredients. Bengal Masala was full of flavour and spice. Hindustani chicken also very good. I eat a lot of curry from birm etc and would thoroughly recommend Indian Ocean Tip get a takeaway menu and phone up to order your. You will pay much less than on line.

Decided to try again as it's many years since our last visit when we vowed never again but with new ownership we decided to give it a try. Restaurant was lovely and bright,great view, good service. Everyone enjoyed their meal I only had one issue and that was more me than them I think I ordered the fish pie and veg and when it came the veg looked like shredded lettuce, chunks of cucumber and fine slivers of nearly raw carrot to be fair we all said the same where's the veg so I asked for the veg and got a dish of the same but hot, so apparently it was cabbage, carrot and courgette not my cup of tea as I was expecting carrots/ broccoli/ peas. I did apologise at the end of the meal as I felt guilty at leaving the veg.

Very nice up market hotel a converted grandhouse. Beautiful. architecture interiors designed to match. It was a very comfortable stay, well appointed room. Lots of parking, does have that "no lift" issue, be aware the upper floors could be a problem. The restaurant was solid, but pretty limited menu. Standard breakfast included, cooked to order. Solid local option.Wi fi secure.

Come in to the shop to order take away on Saturday evening. Floor in the shop was wet and no sign was display. I Fell over and twisted my wrist and my ankle. Absolutely unacceptable. I will never visit this place again! For first you should display sign before you start cleaning your floor for second never mop the floor when your establishment is still open for customers!
