Nowhere evokes the magic of the past more than Cothay. Hidden for centuries it has remained virtually untouched since it was enlarged in 1485 and built in 1480.
Cothay is situated five miles South West of Wellington, off A38, and is said to be most perfect, small classic medieval manor remaining in England. The manor is open to groups, (20+ people) by appointment.

12 acres of magical gardens surround the manor, and are open to the general public on Wed, Thurs, Sun, and BH's 2pm to 6pm. Many garden rooms, each a garden in itself are set off a 200yd yew walk. In addition there is a bog garden with azaleas and drifts of primuli, fine trees, cottage garden, courtyards and river walk.

This plantsman's paradise, paradise, recently restored, has earned the highest rating of two stars in the Good Garden Guide.
