Lovely place for a walk to get away from it all. Cafe is very nice but a little pricey. It is hilly so using a manual wheelchair is hard work.

Had to do something with the kids before they went stir crazy. Took advantage of 50% off and kids under 5 free. The house is pretty dull and the formal gardens ok. However we all enjoyed walking around the large landscape gardens at the back. I can't see us ever going here having paid full price.
