"Well worth a visit. Didn't know much about it so the house condition was a bit of a surprise, but interesting nonetheless. Gardens good for wandering. Had wanted to visit last year but was closed, turns out some godawful-looking American reality show was being filmed."
"Stunning, Beautiful, Fantastic..... Such a great morning spent exploring the house and gardens. The love the family still have for their ancestral home is so easy to see and to know that they still come and live there when they can is fantastic. The guides were all extremely helpful and pleasant which was great considering how many visitors they see. My favourite rooms were the libraries where the volumes are enticing you to pull up a chair and read...... We will be back!!!"
"Wonderful country house with exceptional grounds and gardens. The volunteers who are stationed in various rooms are knowledgeable and pleasant to talk to and their enthusiasm is infectious. It's fascinating to see how many movies and TV series have been filmed there"
"What a great day out! A tour around the castle proved really interesting and included an exhibition of films and TV shows set at the castle. A delicious lunch in the café and then a walk around the wonderful park, by the lake and through the woodland. Some great follies to investigate. The walled garden is stunning and peaceful. All in all, a great destination."
"At £25 a head it is not a cheap day out although the gardens were very interesting and colourful. The house was good but would have been nicer to have seen more behind the scenes. Lunch in the cafe was tasty and not too expensive and the rest of the grounds meant you could easily pass a few hours."
