Painswick Rococo Garden - Stroud

What a gorgeous hidden gem 💖 We visited this garden first through Gardeners World 2 for 1 offer and fell in love with it. It is a magical garden come woodland and is wonderful at any time of the year. It's a great place to take the kids and the dog 💖

Visited earlier this week with my family. Beautiful gardens, and enough there to keep a 2-year-old toddler occupied for most of the day. For older children, there was a trail that was far more creative than most of the 'treasure trail' type things many places have.

Staff were friendly and knowledgeable, and the shops were both well stocked with lovely things at reasonable prices. It's not often that somewhere like this will actually be selling things made from produce they've grown.

Highly recommended.

Absolutely fantastic. We loved it. Gorgeous gardens with quirky and interesting follies, a woodland area and plenty to discover. Nice little cafe too with a bit of a festival vibe to it.

A gem and well worth your time

Rococo Garden in Painswick is pure magic. From the moment you step through the gates, you’re transported into a whimsical world of vibrant flowers, elegant follies, and peaceful woodland paths. The garden is beautifully maintained, with surprises around every corner—from the charming Red House to the playful maze and serene kitchen garden. It’s a perfect blend of history, horticulture, and romance.

We visited on a sunny afternoon and spent hours wandering, taking photos, and soaking in the atmosphere. The café serves delicious treats with friendly service, and the setting couldn’t be more picturesque. You can really feel the love and care that goes into this special place.

Whether you’re a garden lover, a history enthusiast, or just seeking a peaceful escape, Rococo Garden is a must-visit. Can’t wait to return in another season!

Stunning! We were blessed with fine weather. The whole experience was sublime.
I feel that having seen the possibilities that a garden can have, I may have to draw up new designs for the back garden when I get home.
My heartfelt gratitude to the wonderful people that make this magic happen.

Lovely garden set in a fold in the hillside. The planting includes formal and informal areas, with folly buildings and a maze in the shape of 250.
It's not enormous, but is full of interest and some little surprises.
There's a nice cafe kiosk with outdoor seating and a large wigwam to shelter in if it turns inclement.
Thank you, we loved ambling around, and looking at the flowers and scenery. 😎👍👍👍👍

Truly beautiful and well curated gardens with some nicely preserved Rococo architecture. Great for a leisurely stroll - stunning views over the surrounding Cotswold countryside. We went with my 2 wee nieces - I was expecting them to be bored. They were not - the Disgusting Sandwich Trail kept them entertained and interested throughout. Nice cafe at the end. Highly recommended with or without kids.

Great place. We were worried about accessibility, but it was fine on an e-Foldi scooter - essentially could get everywhere (we didn't seek out the maze though). Provided you are fit it would probably be fine on a wheelchair - but some fairly steep slopes.
