We visited today after joining Historic Houses. What a beautiful and atmospheric property. The guides were very knowledgeable and we enjoyed both talks. The house was beautifully transformed for Halloween and there were activities including broomstick making, potion mixing, spell writing and ghost making. Although probably aimed for the younger visitors, my inner child meant I had to have a go at them all! We only had time for a brief look around the grounds but will definitely return another day. We also ate in the cafe and the food was delicious and well presented. All in all, a fabulous place to visit.

Stunning house & grounds in private family ownership. Our visit was pre-Christmas whilst the annual Christmas Market was in situ. Hugely enjoyable in crisp winter sunshine. The house is full of history and atmosphere.

Really enjoyed our visit to the Christmas Market. Lots of lovely artisan stalls with unique gifts. Only downside was having to leave at 1pm when we were ready to sit down and sample some of the lovely food of offer. We did however find a lovely local pub to eat in instead!

This is a member of Historic Houses which we've found very good. I had no expectations or knowledge of this place and thought it was great. And the ability to get really close to everything not standing a way behind ropes as in many properties. Death masks- macabre maybe, but fascinating. I enjoyed imagining how many people must have walked on those stones to wear them down as they are. Great visit.

Combined a visit to see the hall with the Christmas market and was very impressed. The building is very interesting and in amazing condition for a medieval manor. Access might be tricky if you’re not good with a few steps though. The Christmas market was the best we’ve ever been to. Over a hundred stalls with unique and beautiful items at a reasonable price plus a food court, mulled wine and entertainment. Top day out.
