We were out walking in Whickham having never really been in the area on foot before. Stumbled on the place and were fascinated at how lovely it was.Loads of quaint, creative and unique pieces decorate the gardens and pond. A really ingenious use of space.The Orangery cafe sits within the grounds and is also well worth a visit

Nice surroundings, will be especially nice in the summer, cafe was very quiet when I was there but good choice of items available for a light lunch

I've lived nearby for years and often passed by, today I ventured in meeting up with a friend. Such a hidden gem, beautiful, well kept gardens with clear pathways. Plenty of places to sit and waterproof pods. A nice cafe with a simple menu. The bacon bap was tasty, my friend had scrambled egg and bacon on toast, also looked lovely. Friendly staff and also very clean. Would recommend you to visit.

Great garden, tucked away off Front Street. The Orangery cafe provides a friendly welcome and good service with home made food. My corned beef and potato pie, freshly made was delicious.

Pretty little space with lots of 'sitooteries', nice cafe too.

Had a lovely coffee in the coffee shop and my husband had a piece of delicious ginger cake. The gardens are lovely. We'll be visiting again when the weather's nice to see the gardens in a nicer light. We parked behind the Gibside and walked across the road as there is no parking nearby that I could find.

This is a beautiful little gem of a garden, tucked away and easy to miss, a wander around the garden and then some great cake and a cup of coffee at the Orangery Cafe
