Description

Nowhere evokes the magic of the past more than Cothay. Hidden for centuries it has remained virtually untouched since it was built in 1480. Cothay is situated five miles South West of Wellington, off the A38, and is said to be the 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. 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. A plantsman’s paradise. Two Stars in the Good Garden Guide. Tea Room. Meals available and guided tours available for groups only. Wheel chair access to gardens and ground floor of the house.
