Winterbourne House and Garden

Escape the busy modern world for a moment of tranquil calm in this hidden garden oasis. Winterbourne is also one of the best surviving examples of an Edwardian Arts and Crafts suburban villa garden in Birmingham. The garden was lovingly created by the homeowners, Margaret and John Nettlefold, using the books of Gertrude Jekyll as guides and inspiration.  Today the botanical garden is Grade II listed and offers colour and interest throughout the year. The restored walled garden complete with crinkle-crankle wall, is a riot of rainbow shades from May until October. The lawns are fringed with striking colour themed borders, and beyond lies an original sandstone rock garden and a woodland walk through Gunnera leaves and Rhododendron displays. The botanical garden contains plants from around the globe with collections of plants from China, North and South America and the Alpine areas of the world.

This is a delightful escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. The tranquil ambiance and well-kept gardens make it a perfect spot for a leisurely stroll. The historical house is a fascinating peek into the past, although some areas felt a bit cramped. The staff were friendly and helpful, enhancing the overall experience. I would recommend a visit, especially during the blooming seasons. Overall, a lovely day out.

This place was lovely surprise and local. Hidden gem. I took my mum here who was in a wheelchair. My son, husband and and I were very surprised, how lovely and big this place was. It had a lift to see all the floors of the house, which it was easy to wheelchair my mum. It was amazing. The gardens were amazing and the tea room was perfect, very clean and lovely friendly staff from start to finish. It's definitely worth a visit.

Beautifully planted gardens with lots of unusual species. The house has a very interesting history and each room has beautiful arts and crafts furniture and wallpaper.

We spent an enjoyable hour plus exploring this garden…or series of gardens…tucked within the Birmingham U grounds. Even in March there was lots to see…imagine how it will look in full bloom! Then there’s the house…loved all the William Morris wallpapers & fabrics! We skipped the tearoom, which did not smell too appetizing, & reportedly serves food prepped in the U’s kitchens.

Gorgeous Arts and Crafts house with a stunning garden. Best public garden in Birmingham in my opinion. But the highlight for us was the afternoon tea! It was extremely generous, we had a stand each, lovely sandwiches, scones, savoury tarts and cakes. In fact we couldn't finish it all so boxes were provided to take the rest home! Add in a lovely gift shop, printing press and bookshop and you have a recipe for a fabulous outing.

We were looking for something to do and found some good reviews about this hidden place in Birmingham so we booked tickets online. The place is next to Birmingham University and this is part of the university. The car park is a good size. The building seems nice, there is a cafe here as well as a small gift shop and secondhand book shop here. The garden is probably the main draw here. The grounds are big with different paths to take, there is a small stream flowing through the lower grounds and some stepping stones in some water which is nice to walk. There are a couple of greenhouses with different tropical plants in etc which are nice to walk through. Overall this is a good place to visit, when the grounds are in full bloom it would be even better. Would recommend visiting this hidden place in Birmingham.

Very pretty garden and nice afternoon tea in the teahouse. The displays of the stuff in the house are well written and easy to understand. Overall it was good.

Despite it still being winter (just!) The gardens were lovely with a number of flowers out and blossom on the trees. We had a lovely peaceful ramble around, enjoying the different spaces. The boardwalk around the bog garden was a particularly nice feature. The staff here were all great - helpful and friendly. Lunch at the café was delicious, and we finished off by looking around the house. This gave an excellent history of both the house and the family who built it, and was very well presented.

Surprised to find this near the heart of the city. Well worth the visit. Visited early March and will return throughout the year ahead.

A beautiful house and gardens it’s added bonus of a great second hand bookshop. Restaurant was also lovely with wonderful touches like William Morris inspired trays. Well worth a visit.
