York Gate is a magical one-acre garden created by the Spencer family between 1951 and 1994. The design of ‘rooms’ interlinked through a succession of vistas and executed with meticulous attention to detail owed much to the Arts and Crafts movement.

York Gate has been recognised by Tripadvisor as a 2022 Travellers’ Choice award winner and has been granted Grade II national heritage status in a list of post-war gardens and landscapes for England.

Our new cafe serves wholesome homemade food, reflecting the seasons and promoting local produce. Sit on the wonderful new sun terrace overlooking the newly created sunken Mediterranean garden.
