The gardens and tea room are open every year between April and October on Wednesday-Sunday, and Bank Holiday Mondays between 11am and 5pm. There are also certain events in the gardens throughout the year, see the Mount Ephraim website for more information. There is also a five bedroom B&B at the property in a separate wing, which is open all year round. All guests have access to the gardens outside of normal visiting hours and the family who own Mount Ephraim, and other residents in properties around the estate, may be on site during your stay.
