Pubs/Cafes
There's two excellent on site cafes where you can enjoy refreshments after your walk. If you fancy a pub lunch we recommend The Ebrington Arms in the delightful village of Ebrington. The award winning pub does excellent food and is set in a wonderful village location with fine views of the surrounding Cotswolds countryside. It's a special place and was recently voted the UK's number 1 village pub by The Times. The inn also has an interesting history, with its charming stone building dating all the way back to the 1640s. Inside there's period pieces including wooden fireplaces and beamed ceilings. You can find it in the village on May Lane at a postcode of GL55 6NH for your sat navs. It's located just over a mile south of the gardens. The pub is also very dog friendly and can provide treats for your pet.
Dog Walking
Only assistance dogs are allowed into the garden itself but you can take your dog to the Barn cafe where water is provided. There are a number of other footpaths leading off from the car park which are suitable for you and your pet.

Pool, Hidcote Manor gardens. Hidcote Manor gardens were the lifetime creation of Lawrence Johnston who spent 41 years from 1907 creating several garden 'rooms' in the 'Arts and Crafts' style out of the fields surrounding the house.
The gardens are an eclectic mix of "rooms", borders, topiary and architectural features. This hedged ride runs much of the length of the garden like a spine.
