Beautiful gardens - lovely scenery! We didn't have time to visit the gardens, but will definitely go again when we are on holiday. We visited the cafe - and the food was excellent, with brilliant staff! The nursery was superb - and I treated myself to some gorgeous plants! The lady looking after the shop and plants was lovely - really helpful and friendly. Altogether a great visit - and we look forward to a longer stay next time! Thank you! More...

Burrow Farm Gardens is beautiful and peaceful! As one enters the drive the view is amazing. Parking is easy and walks round the garden are from easy to steep. There are plenty of garden seats and choices of walks. There is a cafe which provides light lunches or afternoon tea. The season ticket is good value. More...

Excellent service and beautiful gardens. Our only suggestion is that it would be good if the gift shop sourced local products to support the local community.

We bought a Gardener's World 2 for 1 gardens ticket for the first time. Burrow Farm gardens was on the list of participating gardens and is not far from us so last Thursday we drove over to take a look. It's between Honiton and Axminster and well signposted off the A35. It's in a beautiful location on a hillside with views over adjoining countryside. Price is £11.50 per adult. You can book online if you want but you are then charged £12 and is not necessary anyway. The gardens were a mixture of formal planting, lovely woodland areas, mown meadows, wild flower meadows and a rose garden, millennium gardens, grasses etc. There are some really colourful Rhododendrons and Azaleas in bloom at the moment and they will be out for the next few weeks. Numerous benches are dotted around to rest or just admire the views. The ground is still soft in places due to all the rains so come prepared. There is a well stocked Nursery at reasonable prices, along with a gift shop, Popular Tea rooms, loos and garden ironmongery available. Altogether a very worthwhile and enjoyable day out. More...

Really stunning gardens with very pleasant tea rooms that serves simple but very well executed food. Highlights were the koi pond in the millennium garden, the glade of western skunk cabbage at the bottom of the garden, and spotting newts in the wildlife pond. For more traditional garden lovers there are also lots of rhododendrons, daffodils and azaleas just starting which are spectacular. There is also a small but interesting nursery with some unusual plants. Staff were really friendly and helpful. We spent just over four hours here. More...

Lovely gardens and cafe only downside was the peace and tranquility was spoilt by the noise of grass cutting pity they can't do this before or after the gardens are closed for the dayPs if you are thinking of expanding a Japanese water garden would be nice.

Beautiful spot. A pleasant café with plentiful outdoor and indoor seating. Service friendly and efficient. Food good and a decent cup of coffee. A member of staff chased after us to hand over a forgotten fleece. Plant sales looks excellent and the gardens are a treasure. Well worth a visit on all levels More...

Nice garden, mean owner. We bought a plant and paid for it. Picked it up and the main stem of a plant broke. Shop refused to exchange. ‘It’s no good to us.’ Spoilt the visit and we will not return. More...

We cannot thank DG Bastins enough, for our amazing garden. We had a few ideas of what we had in mind for some of the garden, these guys were brilliant coming up with ideas and designs. We were totally involved and included through out the build . Family is how we feel about all of the team. Totally trustworthy, polite, so hard working and wanted to ensure we were happy with everything.Thank you so much, Tommy and Sam for your attention to detail. We can’t wait to show of our beautiful garden. We would not hesitate to recommend DG Bastin. Great job. More...

A very beautiful private house gardens. The work is lovely. There are benches scattered throughout providing good rest stops. The only limitation is a single toilet block at the entrance. The cafe on site boasts a good range of food very fairly priced. Beautifully situated and well maintained. Well worth a visit. More...

All subcontractors and specialist firms are all close friends so we have enormous trust within our group and we all compliment eachother so well and make a very good team.
Why should our clients choose you?
One of our recent customers left us a review and within that review said "They made us feel like part of their family" It might sound to personal, but the point being that we always have a great relationship with our customers. We work closely with them to ensure their projects run smoothly with no hidden surprises. We like to communicate with our clients to keep them in the loop through every step of the way. At the same time ensuring that the works completed are of the highest standard and to the specification that the customer wants.
