Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

I had seen this on a TV programme and so planned our holiday so that we could visit it. Firstly we parked in the free car park and walked to the house. I had booked a tour on line using our Historic Houses membership. We went to the tea room for a coffee- a cafetiere rather than a machine brew. Then we assembled in front of the main entrance in what was the Pele Tower. It's a wonderful building with additions having been made over the centuries. Our guide proved very knowledgable and it was a very informative one hour tour visiting various rooms.Particularly interesting was that there was a pottery work of art in nearly every room. This interest in modern pottery is also celebrated by the annual Potfest here. A great idea. Afterwards we went to look at the grounds. Firstly down to the lake then through the woods and finally to the magical Walled Gardens. They have commissioned artistic wrought iron gates- beautiful works of art. The garden was a delight to be in and see not just the marvellous plants but masses of butterflies and bees. We ended back in the tea roonm for a cream tea. Excellent.

Visited this property on a Monday when some of the facilities weren’t open but it didn’t spoil our visit. The grounds and the buildings are beautiful and so well maintained. The walled garden is spectacular one of the best we have seen. A definite must do place

We wanted a stop off to break up our journey south and decided to stop here for a little dog walk too. So glad we didn’t bypass.
The gardens were absolutely beautiful and a cool walk in the woods to look for red squirrels is a must too.
Definitely a photographers paradise.

I had a really lovely time gently wandering through the topiary and walled gardens. The coffee in the Cloister Cafe was top quality.

Of course we enjoyed lunch before actually exploring and ended up back at afternoon tea but interesting all the same.

We went to the tearoom at this lovely house yesterday and we were the first customers of the 2023 season. What a lovely quiet setting and such a unique room to have our coffee in. I really wish I had taken pictures. The staff were so welcoming - we met Helen - who served us as well as another lovely lady whose name to my shame I forgot to ask. We also met Penny the lovely lady who baked the amazing scones we had. They were fresh from the oven and were absolutely delicious. We shared a cafetière of freshly brewed coffee for 2 and it was very good. As we got there just after opening we caught the staff setting up but they seriously could not have been nicer and were happy taking our order. We also met the house administrator Pamela who greeted both us and my dog warmly - dogs are welcome in the tearoom which is lovely if you are out for a walk in the area and want some food - you don't have to leave them in the car. We didn't have time on this occasion but we plan to return and pay to go around the gardens and the house which is a stunning warm sandstone crenellated building with a Pele tower with additions later centuries (I peeked in the guide book!). It really is special. Thank you to all for our lovely coffee, scones and welcome - we will be back soon - and having seen a glimpse of the lunch menu which looked really yummy - it will be for that or maybe just a naughty but nice (homemade by Penny apparently) cake. Lola says she'll be back too - but she'd like a dog biscuit next time lol!

Well worth a visit. We had lunch there first, delicious smoked salmon quiche then took a guided walk through the house lef by Nancy. Her knowledge and wit was excellent. Then walked round the gardens. It is possible just to do the cafe and or gardens. Will call again to see the gardens at a different time if year.

The Woodland Walk is not closed. There is one path of approx 20 yards closed due to a fallen tree but you can easily go round.
Hi, is there a children’s play area? TIA.
