Fabulous visit and I can not say enough about the staff / volunteers working there! Just very much customer service oriented and very helpful too.
We loved our visit and enjoyed every bit of it. There are shops with various items and even a pet grooming service. The restaurant is huge with outdoor and indoor sitting. We had cake and coffee and tea.
The house was not open unfortunately so we will have to go back to visit.
We took the guided tour and the tour guide was very informative and knowledgeable so if you have time I would recommend the guided tour.

This was a great example of English historical architecture. The history here and how it has been kept up is amazing. Recommend buying tickets in advance because you get 10% off purchasing from the website instead of getting them there. The staff were helpful, informative and just polite.

Beautiful place to visit. Lovely to chat to guides around the house.
The gardens are very pretty. It was too hot to explore them properly. But plenty of shade to sit and have a picnic.
Nice cafe/restaurant. Finished off with a very tasty ice-cream.

Guides there giving talks in most rooms, good knowledge of different paintings and the family history of the house. Laid out well, plenty to see and the gardens are beautiful. Ran out of time for the woodland walk but it looked interesting with the map they gave us explained about the different areas and viewing points.

A peaceful afternoon spent in a splendid location. The house itself is incredibly well looked and immaculate. The guides in each room are very helpful and more than happy to share their knowledge from the paintings, to which films and TV shows have been filmed at the house.

The views from the house are beautiful and gardens incredibly well looked after.

It wasn't busy at all and we could walk around at our own pace.

Will certainly be visiting again.

Lovely grounds / park around the house it self. On this visit didn't go in to the house but spent a couple of hours in the gardens and park. If you are a wheelchair user just be aware that some of the surfaces are not smooth or east to push on and that there are inclines around the house as it's at the top of a hill.

Just before entering the gardens/park there is a small courtyard with coffee / ice cream shops. The pistachio and chocolate double scoop you have to try it 😃

Great place to visit and take time walking around.

What an amazing place to visit, it's like a little world of its own with the courtyard area, restaurant, coffee bar, icecream parlour and independent stores. The grounds are extensive, with amazing walks be prepared if you do go for the walks they aren't short. Although you can get a land Rover tour that's free of charge but you don't stop much and can't get off. The house is beautiful full of amazing portraits and paintings, historic artifacts. The guides in the house are friendly and knowledgeable.

A beautiful stately house with lovely out buildings and extensive grounds. Staff are courteous and the catering is tasty and reliable. Plus there are a few shops.

We spent a day in conference (actually our second time, as it's an annual conference and we enjoyed the previous year so much the organisers chose to return).

The house was closed but we had a nice half hour stroll in the grounds on a sunny autumn day. Lovely colours and a deep blue sky.
