On the top terrace is a conservatory used to grow a variety of plants from Australia, New Zealand and South Africa, countries Miss Chichester visited on her world tour in the 1920s.Explore the Carriage Museum at Arlington Court, which houses one of the most significant collections of carriages in the country.

“This lovely little garden centre has a great restaurant. We particularly like Sunday lunch. Great for kids meals too.”

“This is about 25 mins from the cottage. We go here regularly as garden great for children (not when too young as right on the river) and the food is always reliably good. Book for inside tables on weekends. ”

“This is one of our favourite pubs for a cosy winter meal. It is a little further to go (approx 25 mins) but its packed with old world character and the food is usually pretty good too. ”
