Accessibility
Wheelchair users are admitted to the gardens free of charge. There are accessible paths around Hergest Croft and the Kitchen Garden, which are marked in yellow on the garden map. There is also wheelchair access to Maples Tearooms and an accessible toilet in the house.
When the ground is dry, it is easy to navigate across the orchard from the Croft to the Kitchen Garden.
Please be aware, however, that other areas of the garden are not accessible to wheelchairs.
Dogs
We adore dogs at Hergest Croft Gardens in all shapes and sizes. Dogs on leads are welcome throughout the gardens, including at Maples Tearoom.
Footwear
Please ensure that you have suitable footwear: much of the charm of the garden lies in its extensive, sloping and natural character.
Paths through the Azalea Garden and Maple Grove are mainly grassed and those in Park Wood are very steep in places.
It can become quite muddy following rain. It is therefore essential to wear sturdy boots or shoes.
Group Bookings
We welcome groups to the gardens and to Maples Tearoom; however, these must be booked in advance. A reduced rate is available for parties over 20 and we are also happy to offer all WI groups special discounts. (Please call or email the office for specific rates.)
We welcome coaches throughout the season. There is easy access, as well as ample parking and turnaround space.
