The staff are so knowledgeable and the grounds are very interesting. Definitely worth a visit especially at the low price they got. The cafe could do with a little menu buffing but was not badly priced and had a lovely lunch there

Attended the classic car and bike show, entry was with classic car so can't comment on entrance fee. We were lucky enough to be able to enjoy the grounds and buildings while we were there. This place is beautiful, wonderful history to the place and fantastic grounds. The car show well organised and plenty entries and people attending. Plenty of food/refreshments to be had

Beautiful house and gardens. Spent a couple of hours here exploring the house, chapels, and grounds. Well worth the entrance fee ! Lots to see of this former catholic boarding school with some beautiful architecture steeped in history. Gardens aren't huge, but are well tendered with plenty to see and offer a nice outdoor walk. You can stay here on a B&B basis, but we just visited for the day.
