A well designed modern environment for appreciating art and the historic material. It has a café with outside seating and is within the beautiful grounds of the castle itself

Unfortunately we visited on one of the hottest days of the year so didn't get to see everything outside because of the heat. We decided to walk up the valley as the paths were shaded by trees. Every so often you come upon various small buildings, including a gothic alcove, sibyl's temple and temple arbour and also spectacular views in some spots. The pools were interesting with dragon flies darting about, and fish in one of them We rushed the formal gardens because it was so hot. A shame as they were beautiful. Understandably the café were not serving hot food so my husband had a salad and I had an open crayfish sandwich. Both were delicious. We were travelling home so gave the house a miss, which was a shame. The staff were very friendly, especially the gentleman at the entrance. Would certainly like to visit again on a cooler day!

Couldn’t be happier with High Spec Roofing! The lads were friendly, hardworking, and did an amazing job. Everything was explained clearly, the work was completed on time, and the roof looks fantastic. Would definitely recommend to friends and family.
