Great Dixter House and Gardens is the former family home of gardening writer Christopher Lloyd, an influential figure in 20th-century horticulture. Explore the one-of-a-kind manor house, a hodgepodge of three different structures. Study the design, plant choice and color combinations of the exemplary gardens. The house was created by merging a 15th-century residence, a 16th-century yeoman’s house transplanted from Kent and an early 20th-century structure. Approach the entrance and try to differentiate between the separate elements. The porch and everything to its right is from the earlier 15th- and 16th-century builds, while everything to the left of the porch dates from the 20th century. Wander around the rooms inside and stop at the medieval Great Hall. The residents ate dinner in this grand room, one of the U.K.’s largest existing timber-framed halls. Stroll around the grounds. Renowned for their inspiring plant combinations and design, the gardens are held in high esteem by horticulturists. Note the vivid colors of the borders, the sculpted yew topiary and the innovative exotic garden, with tropical plants from far-flung locales. Don’t miss the oast house, which was used to dry hops for brewing. Many other oast houses in the East Sussex countryside have been converted into family homes. This one, however, has been preserved, offering an insightful glimpse into the local hop-growing industry. Stop at the gift shop to purchase gardening tools, books or locally made souvenirs. Buy plants, seeds and pots from the nurseries. Next to the shop is an open-side loggia selling deli food, drinks and snacks. Eat lunch at the nearby picnic tables. Great Dixter often hosts events, from craft workshops to gardening education days. Check the on-line schedule to see what activities coincide with your visit. Great Dixter House and Gardens is open from Tuesday to Sunday as well as bank holiday Mondays from late March to late October. The gardens open from late morning through afternoon while the house opens only in the afternoon. Find the estate in Northiam, a 30-minute drive north of Hastings. Use free on-site parking. Direct buses also run here from Hastings. ## Plan a trip to see Great Dixter House and Gardens Price found within the past 48 hours.

(337 reviews) So Cley hall hotel, it looks like the photos so i was impress. My room was the junior suite, a very big room with a marvellous ensuite, every thing smelled and look very clean. So ot came my last day and i had a few niggles.these were, 1) Dinning room, look and felt cold, some soft furnishings would of looked nice, so curtains to make the place look warm. 2) dinning staff, looking and dressed to casual for such a lovely hotel, a uniform would make such a big difference and some training in hospitality would go along way. 3) big disappointment was my bed, on the morning of departure, i always strip my ned, just helps the housekeeping team, to my shock the mattress had some very bad urine stains, such a shame, this room is being ised as a bridal suite and the housekeeping team had let the standard slipp. Everything else about this hotel was great and i cant fault my lo ely stay apart from these few niggles, please sort these out and the hotel will proper stand out. Breakfast was a high standard and i proper enjoyed them all, wish the restaurant team had more interaction would really boost customer service, this was what i mean by restaurant being cold and casual, here is you food and thats it, where was any form of conversation,. Such a let down, my stay i made the best of, and the hotel was very close to local amenities which was a massive bonus did not have to use my car all throughout my stay. So thank you for a good stay.
