Visited late April 26. Amazing to think someone purchased years ago as they were DOWN SIZING! I found the laundry room of great intrest,with staff starting at 4am & reading on the many different was of making starching & how to remove rust from bottom of your iron. Great garden to wander round that was in the process of having new paths played. A great cafe & very informative staff. Upstairs was not open on our visit.

I finally found a National Trust venue my parents hadn’t visited!! And what a treat this venue was. The gardens were stunning in April with so many varieties of tulips. It was incredibly peaceful and the house was interesting with lots of volunteers available to share lots of knowledge.

Nice house with interesting rooms and a 'Willows' exhibition by Laura Ellen Bacon. Great shop with a good selection and plants. There is a decent sized tearoom with an outdoor seating area. Very dog friendly too. Great way to spend half a day.
