We visited Brodsworth Hall with friends on Monday 17th September.It was a last minute decision to visit,as the English Heritage leaflet we had did not fully convey the amazing venue that the Hall and gardens turned out to be.In the words of one ofour companions it is one of the BEST home and garden ever visited.A stately home it is not,but what a wonderful example of Victorian and Edwardian life it portrays. The grounds are magnificent,with a great array of rare and interesting trees,shrubs and herbaceous plants,lovingly tended by the very helpful garden team.The house is displayed in an "undressed" state,no fancy frills or dramatic displays.Just a reflection of life of a caring wealthy family and their staff.We ewre there for over six hours,and still didn't have enough time to fully appreciate it all.Will return next time in the area.

Proving a firm favourite with us to treat ourselves, when possible, to lunch here when the dog is at the Groomers on the same site. On this occasion we scanned in and were offered a choice of two tables, as we were going to have paninis and coffees for lunch we went for table by the wood burning stove tucked away to one side, as other than a staff member top the stove up with wood twice we didn't have anyone walking past us. Track and trace had only recently come in with QR codes to be scanned on arrival. Easily done and no issues though. I had the steak and brie hot sandwich and it was very very nice !! Equally my daughters lunch with the hand cut chips was good - I was partial to stealing a few chips as they were amazing !! Then we just sat there with a coffee, no rush, until the groomer called my mobile phone to say our dog was ready for collection. There are other shops you could browse here too and a small petting area with animals popular with children, lovely place to stop off.....be warned the cafe does get busy ...one day I might get around to trying the tempting looking cake ! Note - Dogs are allowed inside too !!! In the summer there are often tables outdoors too, but once into autumn mostly indoors.

Wow! We have just moved to the area and thought we'd check out the local garden centre, this is absolutely more than a garden centre. This is such an amazing day out! Walks through stunning gardens, an absolute must, so peaceful, beautiful and well designed. Plenty of places to eat and drink, amazing coffee and cake with lovely sandwiches and hot food. My new fav place to visit. Cant wait to come back already! :) keep up the good work guys.
8. Wentworth Garden Centre
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 1,644 reviews
Situated in sixteen acres of historic walled and landscaped gardens, Wentworth Garden Centre is arguably the biggest and most attractive centre in the North Midlands. Its setting, in the former Kitchen, Italian and Japanese gardens of Wentworth Woodhouse is unique.We are not a member of any buying group or garden centre chain. We are a long standing, family owned independent and as such care passionately about our customers and their satisfaction. It's a policy that has seen the centre evolve from a tiny village operation into one of the largest garden centres in Yorkshire today.

We absolutely love this place and were so pleased when it was taken over by National Trust, an organisation that is doing a fantastic job on the renovations. We are SO lucky that we live within 5 miles of the gardens but even if you live a longer drive away it will be well worth the journey. There are acres of parkland to roam through, looking at the sheep grazing and the deer, with outstanding views across the countryside of South Yorkshire. The gardens are being beautifully restored and there is always something new to look at, with lots of seating tucked away in shady glades or on the edges of the gardens overlooking the stunning countryside. The house is beautiful, although not open to the public, and there are lots of monuments to explore and of course Stainborough Castle itself which is a lovely spot for a picnic. Unfortunately, at the moment the main tower is shrouded in scaffolding and tarpaulin as the next stage of renovation is undertaken, but hopefully this will be completed by June 2021 and the tower will stand in all it's glory again. Sturdy footwear is recommended as the whole site is on the side of a hill, although easily accessible by pushchairs and wheelchairs. We are looking forward to the Covid restrictions being lifted so that we can finally get a look inside the renovated Conservatory which looks amazing when you peep through the windows. There is a cafe (currently takeaway only and card payments only) and hopefully the National Trust shop will be open again very soon. There is also a children's playground which always looks very popular. Even though we are so close to home, when we visit we always feel as though we are on a 'day out' and are looking forward to taking a picnic in the summer and enjoying many more happy hours in this amazing place. What a gem!! Under current restrictions, remember to book online before you visit!!
