I loved it as a kid you really need to explore both ends to get the most out of it
shame itโs expensive
the cafe is a bit hit or miss
I loved my Camembert
but they used to have vegan sandwiches that were really overpriced I think if you missed lunch they were the only option near the gift shop
try and find the witches hut!

We had a delicious lunch at The Stablesrestaurant, then a walk, and then came back for afternoon tea. All served with a smile in very pleasant surroundings.

A lovely sunny spring day with the daffodils all out. A quality lunch at the cafe (sit and order) followed by a 3 hour walk around the gardens. Not sure what to expect but it was wonderful.
Paths tricky if you have mobility issues but plenty of short walks around formal gardens and lower ponds.
Only time for a quick house visit but very informative anฬd simple.

Interesting house and garden with several lakes and quite extensive paths. Some a bit steep or rough for a mobility scooter or the Tramper scooter we hired.

The house is rather nice, giving a glimpse of what life was like for country estate communities before the Great War. It also hosts art exhibitions and installations that only enhance the beauty of the place. I loved the birds' nests installation, which I thought utterly unexpected, in a really good way. But the real gem for me were the Gertrude Jeckyll designed gardens. This is a vast place, yet every bit of it is crammed full of interesting plants, which combine to give views of painterly quality at every turn. The engineer in me also loved the water mill and all the quirky devices it powered. If you love art, history, gardens and old technology, you will have a great time here; allow three hours for the whole visit.
