What a beautiful historic house to visit, surrounded by gardens. Unlike the National Trust, you are allowed to touch, sit on some of the furniture, & take photographs. You get to see a lot of rooms. This is a private house, one of the Historic Houses Association properties. There is a great restaurant with very reasonable prices, a bar, & a small gift shop. You get a 10% discount on admission prices when you buy online in advance. Open 7 days a week, 10am - 5pm. There is parking.
A delightful and well presented house and gardens. The visual and audio displays make the visit entertaining and interesting and you get drawn into the history of the house without realising. The tea room was great with good food and fast friendly service. The team throughout were professional friendly and very helpful. A great day out
A gem of a find. Quirky and beautifully maintained Tudor mansion with lots of hidden rooms, panels and secret staircases. The team here are brilliant. They really know about the house and its colourful history. The gardens alone are well worth the visit with a particular charm and very restful. It is a real journey back in time.
A beautiful house with immaculately kept gardens both of which are well worth a visit. The house has period set rooms with both visual and audio displays keeping the visitor informed and interested. The tea room is lovely and all the staff helpful and professional.
What a lovely place. I really enjoyed my visit, the gardens are so beautiful. The house was really interesting, so much history. There is also a nice and cosy little bar and a restaurant. I will definitely return.
A wonderful place to visit, a part of the historic houses member. The gardens are beautiful whilst some are under reconstructed. The house is of equal delight with story boards to explain what each room and its role within the house over the decades/ centuries to modern day. The cafe serves a range of hot/ cold food and drinks and very clean toilets, including disabled facilities. It's definitely worth a visit
