Rutland’s best kept secret!
In 2014, we celebrated 40 years in business as a wholesale plant nursery, so we decided to open our most ambitious project yet – the Garden Centre and Café. Focusing on a wide range of plants and core elements of gardening.

A Stunning, traditional country pub dating back to the 16th century, with a roaring fire in the winter and a suntrap of a garden to the rear. Settle in amongst the locals and their dogs for a pint, cocktail or a bite to eat.

Originally a 17th century farmhouse on the Exton Estate, home to the Noel family (Earl of Gainsborough) for generations at the head of a horse chestnut tree-lined avenue, The Barnsdale is now a superb 44 bedroom hotel and restaurant, named 1760 after the year the original lodge was built.
