In May 2023 we opened ‘The View’, a new 100-seater restaurant with panoramic views across stunning Rutland Water to the hills beyond.
Originally created by Geoff Hamilton for the Gardeners’ World TV show, Barnsdale is home to 38 pocket-sized, themed garden ‘rooms’, built in his trademark, practical style, and full of inspiration for garden-lovers of all ages. Go for great ideas for your own outside spaces or simply have fun exploring- there magical hidden corners, ponds full of tadpoles and newts, and an allotment with chickens and giant organically grown veg.
For those who fancy a little extra space; available for short breaks and holidays in England’s smallest but mightiest county. Positioned just a stone’s throw from The Barnsdale, so if you find yourself craving a night away from the stove, The 1760 Brasserie is just a stroll away…
