Fairhill is such an amazing place to visit! We went for Father’s Day last year and the whole family loved it, from my toddler to my Husband and my Dad ☺️ everyone’s so lovely, it’s a beautiful place for a coffee, see some animals and grab a new plant on the way out!

Firstly, the gardens are lovely, I live some distance away from Fairhill, but I would visit often if I could. It has a lovely ambience for sitting and enjoying beautiful food and wine on a warm lazy afternoon. Great place to celebrate your birthday with a few friends. Then to cap it off, a stroll around the nursery and perhaps the purchase of a pretty plant or something edible to grow in your garden. I just loved this place!
