Reviews
"Very nice house, although you can only see the downstairs really. Very dark inside as curtains all drawn shut, this is to protect the interior. Gardens were being worked on by lots of gardeners ready for spring and summer when they are superb. Topiary garden was closed for restoration. Worth a quick visit in Winter but definitely worth it in the summer for the garden alone."
"A stunning Tudor Manor House, with beautiful gardens and grounds. Most of the house has been restored using reclaimed materials so that it is near to as possible as it would have been in the 16th century. It was then donated to the National Trust so that it would preserve all this beautiful work. The staff are super friendly and very knowledgeable, happy to answer any questions. Unfortunately some of the gardens were closed off due to the time of year along with part of the house. Only the ground floor was open. These parts do reopen for spring summer so a great excuse to visit again. There are also some circular walking routes. Wellies recommended if it has been raining.There is a cafe and gift shop on site and plenty of free parking. Admission prices are reasonable, free if you are a NT member. Highly recommend a visit, I will be returning for sure."
"Well maintained house and a nice garden with a beautiful water body. Reasonably priced cafe. Lovely walking paths. Only disappointment is that the Yew gardens, which is the main attraction was closed for the winter maintenance. You can still get to see the Yew Gardens depending on the availability of the guided tour. Will be going again to explore the Yew gardens."
"Lovely place for a visit. Beautifully kept by the National Trust. There is a road that splits the estate in two but it has a 20mph speed limit so crossing from the entrance and coffee shop part to the main house and lake is ok but still worth being very careful if you have kids. There is a wonderful kitchen garden on the side with the shop and cafe that is easily overlooked so keep an eye out for the entrance via a short ramp from the area with picnic tables. The main house is fantastic and the gardens and lake are tranquil and beautiful. There are also a variety of sun dials which are interesting. It's a great place to start to set off on a variety of lovely walks through the surrounding countryside."
"Visited with a 2for1 voucher. The grounds are absolutely stunning and so vast. There’s so much to see. Woodland, gardens, curated trees, water, geese and sheep. Also a cute cafe and gift shop, didn’t get any food so I can’t comment. Staff are nice and answered all questions. The house is beautiful and full of history. Car park looked full but once you’re inside it doesn’t feel crowded at all because of how spacious it is. Would love to come back. Can easily spend a whole afternoon here."
