Visited with my partner a few days ago and we both had a brilliant time! Beautiful grounds, an excellent little cafe, and a good gift shop.<br><br>The gardens were all amazing, full of all sorts of flowers with information written by most of them. Lots of wonderful statues around. Plenty of photo opportunities.<br><br>The cafe was lovely, the staff were friendly, and the food was amazing - especially the carrot cake with pistachio frosting (which was also vegan!)<br><br>The gift shop was great, filled with things made by local artists - jewellery, prints, jams, etc. The staff in there were so lovely too. Everyone we talked to was so friendly and helpful!<br><br>We went on a Wednesday and it wasn't too busy, however there were signs on some of the doors asking for quiet as there were exams in progress so we had to bear that in mind on our way round. Not sure if you're able to go inside the castle on weekends potentially, but even if not, still well worth the money just to walk around the gardens, especially if you enjoy taking photos! A very relaxed environment, would definitely recommend!

We were only able to do the gardens, but we really enjoyed a leisurely walk around. There were plenty of benches to sit and take in the peace and tranquility. We finished our visit off with lunch in the tea rooms. All the ladies very nice, nothing too much trouble.

Beautiful castle. Unfortunately it is rarely possible to visit the inside. You can visit the gardens and the park around. We have been there in Autumn. A really good time to envoy the beauty of nature.

Althought the inside of the castle wasn't open, we did have a look aound the beautiful grounds. You can walk through the inner courtyard to access the rear walled gardens, and then on past the maze to the folly. The cafe does really nice sandwiches, and the shop sells some quite nice arty things as well as pictures.

Despite there not being a huge amount to do here other than walk round the grounds. There is a small cafe with indoor and outdoor seating. Shame the Castle isn't open to look round more often. The gardens are good and well presented. The woodland is nice and relaxing when there aren't lots of children running around screaming. The price is a bit high for entry.
