Reviews
Initially, I thought it was a bit pricey. But well worth the cost. What an absolutely stunning location. The history buffs will adore this house. But just a beautiful place to while away a couple of hours.
Had a great day here in the sun, exploring the garden and various rooms of the house. It wouldn't have been my first choice of places to visit, but my wife really wanted to go, I was very pleasantly surprised. The rooms are varied with lots of features to look at, and the age of it makes it mind blowing how long ago things were from. Sections of the hall were from 1300s and 1400s with great pieces of timber for joists, stairs and even benches. The oak trees they grew from could have been from a further 500 or 1000 years before then, it is difficult for me to wrap my mind around that. The entrance fee was relatively steep given that it's a one time entry price. Many similar places allow you to return multiple times over 12 months for a similar price. However the building and grounds are well maintained. We spent a couple of hours there and took our own food, though there is a cafe/restaurant on site. A word of caution, almost every area is uneven and stepped, so be careful if attending with anyone unsteady on their feet.
A fascinating place to visit, if you love historic houses you'll love this place. Our visit coincided with a fabulous roaring log fire being lit in the Great Hall, and a wonderful choir singing in the long gallery. The gardens are amazing with far-reaching views. There was something of interest in each area of the building from the church, little museum, medieval kitchens and the whole house. The history talks were really interesting. Definitely recommend, however good to fair mobility is needed when visiting
We had been wanting to visit this place for many years and finally got the opportunity. It's a fabulous historic Manor house in the most scenic setting. Although it's very difficult for people with reduced mobility due to very uneven steps and walkways, it's something not to be missed.
