Very enjoyable experience, and the formal gardens are stunning. We we a little shocked at the £10.50 entry fee per person though . .

After a late lunch in the rather expensive cafe (£6 for an albeit very nice baguette and £2 for a small bottled water), we decided to walk around the gardens. However, as it was by then 3.30pm, we decided against paying the £10.50 per person entry fee! Surely later in the day the rate should be halved?
Shame, as a walk would have been nice and at least the charity would have received some entrance fee from us but not at over £40 for the four of us for a couple of hours visit.
If you visit, ensure you go for the whole day, and if on a budget, take a picnic.

We have been numerous times to the gardens. They are worth the entry fee but if you are more than a couple of visits I would suggest an annual pass as its more cost effective. There is a great cafe that is dog friendly and the gardens are flea pot for dogs as long as on leads.

This is a beautifully laid out garden, a lovely place to visit on a sunny day. There are laid gardens and a lot of walks through trees and lakes. The views are great and when we were there they had a wedding in progress The old house had a gallery showing an exhibition of photographs. They have a nice cafe at the entrance for refreshments and in the house they have a formal restaurant serving afternoon teas.

I would like to express my sincere appreciation to Dyan for the excellent service she has provided during our stay over the past two weeks.
Dyan is always friendly, welcoming, and has a wonderful smile that makes guests feel comfortable and valued. What impressed me most was her amazing memory. After meeting me only once, she remembered my room number and even the food and drinks we usually ordered the very next day.
She has a natural ability to make guests feel at ease and always knows the right time to check if we need anything, without ever being intrusive. Her attention to detail, professionalism, and genuine care for guests have made our dining experience much more enjoyable.
Thank you, Dyan, for your exceptional service and kindness throughout our stay. You are a real credit to the hotel, and we truly appreciate everything you have done for us.
