Reviews
"Went today and saw the Xmas decorations that were themed on The Christmas Carol story. It was magical they have done a lovely job. It's quite small grounds so not my favourite National Trust as I like a good walk but a very unique house. The food was nice as was the coffee and there's a fun woodland playground trail for the kids I'm sure they love. A bit muddy but hey its November so what do you expect. See you next time!"
"The garden is a bit small in comparison with the usual National Trust locations,but is beautiful and well maintained. The house is a master piece, you have plenty to see and to learn. Close to the main house, is the art gallery what I highly recommend. Overall is nice place to visit."
"Beautiful Manor house. Lovely grounds. Cafe was nice. Staff friendly and everywhere was clean and tidy. We had never been before and spent about 3 hours. Highly recommend it, could have done the house twice!!"
"Lovely national trust property to visit. Ample parking not too far from the house, shuttle service provided too as it's an uphill walk. Large gardens to explore, exhibits, cafe, shop, second hand bookshop and the house itself to explore. Made for a very fun family outing"
"Lovely traditional Manor House and Gardens. Beautifully constructed and preserved. The tour guides were very knowledgeable and friendly so it was fascinating to see how much history the property went through. There is a nice cafe on site which sells tasty food and drinks. The gardens are beautiful and nice to walk around. There is also a small art gallery and bookshop as well as the gift shop to enjoy. We would definitely go back to enjoy again."
