We did the guided tour which i ls very informative with a very interesting history.. The house itself is beautiful. Highly recommended.

Really great tour. Been to the estate and gardens many times, so decided to take a tour. Emer our tour guide was very knowledgeable and passionate about the subject with lots of humour and personal insights.The house is stunning with many interesting and unique items. The tour is really excellent value for money. Highy recommend. The gardens and whole estate are beautiful too.

There is always something going on here, great space with gardens to explore, being the young ones for a picnic and loads of space to run around play hide and seek. Well attended events even when the event is not of good quality, folks want to experience some outdoor fun, wish they had better planned events, mostly underwhelming in my humble opinion, I've seen much better events arranged all over the globe. Lots a nice scenery, a nice place for a walk, safe for kids and all alike. bring the old folks down ,easy to move around for a wheelchair. Lots a benches for a meal, there is a coffee shop next to the small pond. Very busy, make good coffee a s Cake
