The gardens were started in 1984 by Martin Gould from a bare
field site attached to an old Galloway cottage. Since 2001
they have been widely redeveloped by Martin and Sharon. The
trees were mainly planted in 1989 and are a major part of
the gardens.
3 ponds dominate a series of richly planted terraced gardens.
To the rear of the Waterhouse a pondside paved seating area
nestles amongst an abundance of flowers and scented herbs
underfoot. Climbing plants are also a major feature with over
50 varieties of Clematis, Roses and Honeysuckles.
All the gardens may be used by guests.
