December 2023One of the best Christmas lights and sounds spectacular I have seen so far. Pre-booked tickets were affordable. A nice effortless walk around and the mild weather made it to be so special for us.

February 2024We had a tasty lunch, and there was a beautiful metal tree sculpture in the restaurant courtyard. We then walked around the grounds. The woodland walk was lovely, with lakes, buildings, and many birds. House was interesting with an art exhibition and an excellent second-hand book shop.

December 2023Fantastic place to visit for a lovely walk around the beautiful gardens and through the trees and across waters, with opportunities for spectacular views for miles. Gift shops had a range of quality handmade items, whilst the art gallery had unique works on display in large historic building with original decor. I also found the watermill really fascinating, being able to see the old machinery on display. The cafeteria offered a very delicious afternoon tea for us, definitely worth the money. Phoned and booked in advance. All staff on site were very welcoming and friendly. Will probably return especially for the illuminate light show at night which I’ve heard good things about. Overall definitely recommended and offers good value for money for a good few hours visiting.
