Many of our guests are garden lovers
and are welcome to explore the garden at Millfields House with
its woodland corner and wildlife pond, which is home to a small
colony of Great Crested Newts. A variety
of flowering trees and shrubs provide structure and background
to spring flowers, bulbs, roses, herbaceous perennials, grasses
and climbers offering colour and interest throughout the year.
On arrival, and if the day is warm, guests are served tea in the
garden, under the shade of the Medlar tree.
