Larch Cottage Nurseries

A spectacular nursery set in lovely scenery near Penrith. I've never seen so many huge pots, planters and statues and the selection of shrubs and trees was impressive and excellent quality. There was loads of autumn colour especially the Acers. The cafe was delightful, enjoyed petting Misty the cat. Had soup and one of the nicest cappuccinos ever.

Many years since I visited, but I had a lovely overcast afternoon in the garden and the nursery, then delicious lunch on the balcony. Visited on a Sunday (also on Wednesdays) so the gardens were also open for charity. While not huge, it's small and perfectly formed, and blend seamlessly with the lovely nursery setting. I thoroughly enjoyed cauliflower soup and delicious pecan fudge tart on the balcony, bucket list ticked ☺️ Staff were all lovely, even the waitresses in training (at least one lovely young family member I suspect) and I was lucky enough to bag a thoughtfully provided throw so I could have the full Larch Cottage Lunch experience. Delightful, thank you.

Excellent nursery with a wide selection of plants and outdoor decor (you could literally spend a day here wandering the various aisles!) The restaurant is beautifully decorated and it's such a treat to be able to sit on the balcony under the wisteria and enjoy the view. The pizza and dutch apple cake were excellent and the menu has a good selection for vegetarians. The staff seemed a little overwhelmed the day we were there but they were still very attentive and friendly. I've marked down one star only because the cutlery and crockery were a little dirty and scratched. Otherwise a really wonderful experience.

This is by far the most beautiful nursery I have ever visited. It's hard to believe that the hard landscaping hasn't been there for hundreds of years. And so well stocked, with exotic stuff as well as the more everyday, but all in beautiful condition. I shall add it to places I must visit every time I am in the Lakes. Just a stunning treat! Thank you and congratulations.
