The tour was very good - audio self tour, however, there were so many large groups with tour guides talking over the hand held audio that it was sometimes hard to hear your own hand set. It was beautifully done and the gardens are a WOW factor.

The rooms are incredibly well preserved and well signposted. We had a short walk through the Gardens (the free access area) and they... More
