We should have checked 1st before going, we arrived only to find the property was hosting an apple festival. As we travelled so far we went in. A free festival with food & drinks, crafts and activities for the children. From what we saw, the gardens were beautiful & we could be back again. The mansion was closed that day.

Had a great few house here, lots to see and do including playing snooker on a full size table that anyone can have a go on, we played a full frame! It also has a putting green outside which was lots of fun and also used hickory shafted putters ( there is a golf course right next to it where you can hire hickory shafter clubs to play as modern clubs are not allowed!!). Lots to learn about inside the house with a staff member in every room to tell you all about it, house is big and has upstairs levels but I'm not sure if that part is wheelchair accessible. There is also a quiz for the kids to do where they have to find numerous objects dottet round the massive house which my 9 year old daughter loved. They have plenty of free parking and public toilets, the reception lady was bright bubbly too, please visit you won't be disappointed 😃
