This place is absolutely amazing, and incredible survival of a Tudor building. Considering how many times it has been repurposed over the last few hundred years, English Heritage have done an amazing job in preservation and presentation of it's long and varied history. If you have ever wanted to eat fresh mulberries straight off the trees then then this is the place to come! Also an excellent coffee shop!
Great place to visit if in the area. Stunning architecture, the inside and outside are worth viewing. Great views from the tower. Parking is nearby, shop and cafe on site.
My family and I visited the hall for the first time today, and it won't be our last! What a lovely place! The hall has been looked after and restored brilliantly. You can really get a feeling for the age of the building by looking at the old timbers and walking through the halls with their bowing floors! It felt like you were in a fun house in parts because it looked level, but you could feel yourself leaning to the side. The kids thought it was great fun! The open rooftop was a massive bonus. The weather was perfect for it and we could see the village of Gainsborough. It was brilliant. I'd recommend taking a coat to wear as it was freezing in some parts of the building. The lady at the till was lovely and very chatty. She made us feel welcome the moment we walked in
This is a wonderfully evocative, characterful and interesting place to visit, tucked away within residential housing. There is plenty to see, with lots of nooks and crannies to explore, and the staff are really good There is a really nice cafe with plenty of choice, but the highlight for me was the Young Lady at the serving counter from Paisley whose dancing and conversation made us all smile . A great place to visit if you are in the area
What a gem of a place! We are EH members but didn't know about this place for some reason and we are only around an hour's drive away. We visited at the weekend and we're blown away by it's beauty - the history this place holds is phenomenal and the detail in what they have managed to preserve is astonishing. If you don't walk around upstairs and feel drunk then you've not done it right! The kitchen is fascinating and you get a real feeling for how things would have been run back then. We booked in advance although didn't need to as it was quiet when we arrived. The cafe is lovely, we enjoyed a chai latte and bought some lovely books for.our boys from the second hand book shop. We will be taking our son back who is a massive history lover - a visit highly recommended!!
