Enjoyed our visit but felt it more a old house rather than a castle. You need good walking shoes to really enjoy here. The gardens and surrounding land is beautiful. The moats and lake are a joy. Large play area for the kids and several gift shops and eating establishments are here. It's a long walk to the castle from the entrance. There is a land train about a pound each way. If disabled there is accessible transport to the castle for free. A good day out..
