BUT we were held up in traffic and arrived (from Essex) 3 minutes too late for last entry, which as only the ground floor was open seemed a little unfair, but the door was firmly shut."
Another said: "This is a lovely national trust local to us as a family and has beautiful surroundings & grounds. The gardens are maintained so well and the staff are very friendly & knowledgable. A nice selection of ice cream too. We as a family love this place."
