Hill House Nursery in South Hams

Lots of unusual plants at a good price. Ample parking. You can hand pick flowers from the Cutting garden. Great tea shop.

A nursery, not a garden centre, so don't expect it to look like those big plant supermarkets.Every area contains joyful surprises, however. Unusual plants, massive climbers that have settled into permanent homes up to the roof of the glass houses. A superb setting and possibly the best tea room around.All this and a cutting garden - select your own flowers, choosing between some, quite a few and loads. You will not find bouquets like this in a supermarket.I totally recommend Hill House Nurseries!

Off-putting staff member.Our recent visit with children was nothing like the one we had a few years ago. It seemed like one female staff member (from the gardening centre) just didn't like our children - and others - ringing the big bell in the zen garden. This is a pity as children are inquisitive by nature and the gardens are very beautiful and inspirational to all ages. Shame on the woman for taking it upon herself to give a brash public undress to our seven yr old - she might have been better off playing a certain character in 'Matilda' with her attitude, than mixing with the general public at this peaceful garden centre and tea room.Disheartened, we won't be returning and willsave our money to buy plants elsewhere. The staff at Hill House should be trained for dignity and respect as some are getting out of touch...

Beautiful garden and wow what a tea room

Beautiful nursery, you can't get better quality plants, very friendly and helpful staff. Also the best scones.

As always it's a delightful experience visiting the nursery. A great selection of many different types of plants etc. The cafe is fantastic as well.

A brilliant botanical garden presented as a nursery. All sorts of unusual plants in big greenhouses with attendant semi-tame sparrows. The cafe is comfortable with the biggest slices of cake that I have ever seen. The only downside is that all the approach roads are narrow and proficiency in reversing long distances multiple times is needed.

Always lovely.😍. Good choice of plants at reasonable prices, with some unusual ones as well. If course can't go there without coffee & fabulous cake..be prepared, you're given a " proper " slice not a taster !!!

We spent a delightful time, picking flowers of every kind and variety in the garden. Wandered around the greenhouses and the beautiful old Church. Then enjoyed the most delicious cake with tea in the charming cafe. Loved it.

A truly lovely location. Such a peaceful and idyllic setting. Seems to be miles from nowhere and only accessible through country lanes.......and it is!! Wonderful selection of shrubs and flowers with unusual planters for sale....old kitchen basins and bathtubs.....but they are expensive. However, despite the perfect location in the garden next to the grand house, the tea room was disappointing. Stainless steel tea pots, bland dry scones and a huge slice of dry carrot cake with very sweet icing adorning it. They need to up their game to match the undoubtedly wonderful aura this place has.
