Overview

There are many car parking areas available for your use here, and on this part two of our reviews we tell you about the main car park, but suggest you take the directions as shown on our part one review so as to get you comfortably settled into hotel while your carer takes the car to this car park if you did not manage to find a empty disabled bay. It will be well worth the short walk back to reception for your carer. The grounds are very well cared for, evergreen shrubs provide wonderful photos, ideal for special occasion memories. This time, if approaching front of NutHurst Grange, take the right hand drive (photo 1) which leads to a large car park (photo 2), but again we suggest your driver takes you first of all to the reception and leave you inside the hotel, while they return to the main car park. A pathway ahead, with four steps (photo 3) led the way to reception and this path went through lovely flower beds and a lawn (photo 4) with a private Helipad ready if you came with your own helicopter. The path led to the terrace garden (photo 5) and four steps led to reception (photo 6). Later on, after settling in, from reception there is a very scenic walk (photo 7) which led past beautiful gardens (photo 8) and ahead was a large manicured lawn with a variety of trees and shrubs (photo 9). A few yards away is the delightful looking functions building (photo 10) where your special occasion, such as weddings, anniversaries, birthdays, are catered for (photo 11). In the far right hand corner there is a ramp available (photo 12) that takes you down to the formal garden (photo 13) with trimmed hedges that highlight the statues (photo 14). Back up the ramp, a path by the wooden shed will lead you to the orchard (photo 15) Then just return to the main drive and be pushed back to the Grange (photo 16) and then by the terrace garden (photo 17) is the reception entrance (photo 18). Following your walk, why not rest in the comfy lounge (photo 19) while you enjoy the last views over the gardens, (photo 29) with perhaps a little drink, before you either depart for the return journey home, of if you have booked an overnight stay, then rest here before going to your room to prepare for dinner. ( Read part three review for lunch or dinner photos ). Our final thoughts What a delightful way to spend an hour or two just wandering around the beautiful gardens.

Transport & Parking

On this part two review we show you the main car park, but it’s not really suitable for disabled parking, although we suggest driver takes you up to reception entrance, helps you inside by asking for a ramp to be placed by door, then takes car back to main car park, then they can enjoy the walk to reception. But they to must be able to manage the steps by themselves. Or park the car by reception door in the one and only disabled bay, as shown on photos for part one.

Access

If you wish to enjoy the gardens yourself, your carer can take you along and down the path towards the Stable Barn functions building, to the right you will find a brick laid ramp to the formal gardens, come back up ramp and few feet to the left is a narrow path past wooden shed and you can then be pushed along pathways through the rest of delightful gardens, passing the Heliport lawn, before having to return to the functions suite and returned to reception.
