Stonyford Cottage Gardens, Tea Room & Plant Nursery
A tucked-away Cheshire water garden where woodland planting, a plant nursery and a cottage tea room make an unhurried afternoon.

About
The story
Down a quiet Oakmere lane, Stonyford Cottage Gardens unfolds around still water and generous, softly layered planting — the kind of place where an hour disappears without notice. Wander the beds, browse the adjoining nursery for something you won't find at the big sheds, then settle in the tea room while the reflections do their gentle work. It's small, personal and quietly cared for, the antithesis of the trolley-park garden centre. Come for a plant, stay for the calm, and leave already planning to bring a friend. A proper Cheshire secret.
Our word
Why Hunters selected it
It marries a genuine plant nursery with a serene water garden and tea room — a lesser-known Cheshire spot that rewards the journey and lingers in the memory long after.
