Reviews
"This is such a beautiful National Trust house. It's stunning inside and the views are also magnificent. If you watch any of the films that filmed at the house, you will even enjoy it more. And all volunteering staff was amazing, so patient and friendly. I highly recommend this venue! Don't miss the shell room. It's breathtaking! Parking can be tricky on nice day but worth the wait!"
"Been here before and didn't do the grounds today due to the wet weather, but the house looks brilliant all decorated for Christmas. Lots of rooms open thanks to the friendly and knowledgeable room guide volunteers. Excellent food and value for money in the cafe including gluten free options."
"It's a lovely country estate. Ideal for dog walkers, families or for anyone who just want to go for a nice woodland walk or look around in the house which appeared on many movies including Downtown Abbey. The Christmas decoration in the house is also very lovely during the festive season. Weekends can be busy at the car park. The earlier you could go is the best. (AM)"
"Great visit here on Saturday afternoon... loads of overflow parking in field, still close to the entrance. We received a good welcome, and explanation of what was where, then lovely walks through the woods and surrounding area to house. The house itself is stunning... lovely helpful, chatty and knowledgeable staff... some lovely stories and plenty of passion when explaining. Only complaint was a bit of a queue at the cafe..."
"Bit of a queue to get into car park due overflow field too wet to use. No problem though. Beautiful light draped trees leading to house. Stunning house with plenty of rooms open, many with great Christmas decorations. Busy but pleasant cafe, no problem getting a table. Many paths around the parkland. Well recommended."
