Very friendly and relaxed. My 94 year old friend really enjoyed a few hours out of her home in the sun. She tucked in to a bacon sandwich with tomato ketchup with relish too. I enjoyed the same with an ice cream after. Nice not to eat healthy food for once! I went off with our dog into the garden grounds where she was on a lead. Bring poo bags as I didn’t and then had to go back to the car and go back to find the doggy do before anyone else stood in it!

Had a private tour of the Castle,Melinda, the guide was so knowledgeable, on point, sense of humour, inclusivity.<br>It became my favourite place to go and to my shame I lived in Eastbourne 11 years and visit so many things in UK but not on my door step.<br>Amazing, as it 's the people that can make the place come alive in a particular way, I felt carried trough time, my world is bigger today, my being has been nourished by this experience.<br>Cafe is a real bonus, people making efforts accommodate my needs, I am vegan and by magic some tasty vegan sausage rolls were produced, there was vegan ice-cream and a promise of cake coming soon.<br>Beautiful gardens, plenty of season plants, coulour, wildlife and huge sky, acres of land, forrest, marsh a deer park.<br>Maybe that's why the observatory is there also. I ve not checked of that is still in use.<br>The place is accessible on lower ground for wheelchair users, seen ramps but I ve not asked if there is a lift as the tour goes upstairs inside the Castle.<br>Magic 🏰<br>Also affordable!

We were fortunate enough to arrive half hour before last entry. Had a pleasant afternoon tea with a peacock for company.<br>Then visited the lovely gardens, still some in bloom and interesting grasses too. Virtually empty too! 👌<br>Well worth a visit. Stunning castle!

Stopped in by chance and the first thing that struck us was the super friendly atmosphere. The full English fry up was an absolute monster and was incredible good value. To say I can barely move would be an understatement. This is up there with the best fry ups I've ever had.

Apart from scaffolding at front of castle and unable to use the main bridge entrance, which we were told about on at main entrance to grounds, we were very disappointed with the unkempt state of the gardens. They clearly need regular maintenance .
