Actual building holds guided tours mostly during summer but they have some tea rooms that are open all year round... More

Visited this lovely old house and got a personal tour from the guide, we were the only people there at the start of the tour. It was interesting and quite touching to hear the family history of the house especially the gentleman(Captain Harrison) who obviously loved the house and who invested his whole life there.

We've been many times as a family, there are lovely walks, a lake with ducks, swans & loads of fish visible in the water. We sometimes bring a picnic or else give in to temptation and visit the lovely coffee shop/tea rooms, which are seriously tempting! We've taken the brief tour of the house itself which was interesting, just a... More
