My 8 & 11year liked it better than the castle. It was smaller than I thought but fun to wander around. The swings in the orchard were nice and relaxing, the shaded arched walkways by the fountain were a welcome break from the sun and serene. The pools and fountains were fun for the kids, just wish they activated more frequently though. The walled garden was fun for us to play hide and seek in too. We spent a good 5 hours there enjoying them. The food was a little expensive in the restaurants and they ran out of hot food in one of them. The car parking charge was an unnecessary addition to the day's cost, not expensive just a bit cheeky
