Went for a Mother’s Day walk and coffee. Cost £15 for two adults (baby was free) which we thought was expensive for going for a walk. If you can spend all day there like in the summer then it’s not so bad but this time of year it’s difficult to spend much more than a few hours there. We bought a tea and a coffee (which felt expensive but can’t remember how much they were). Tea was ok but coffee was undrinkable and got poured away. It’s made with a drinks machine rather than a proper coffee machine. We had a nice time but will be going somewhere else next time.

Fabulous daffodils. Beautiful woodland walk. Indifferent catering. UHT milk served with tea. (Never). ‘Baguettes’ were not baguettes, just soft bread rolls. Pleasant café buildings though and friendly service.

Visited today the walk was as good as always but we stopped off at the cafe after as we had brought a friend with us and had to sit outside under the ‘pagoda’ just near the café entrance. The whole area was very messy with the bins overflowing the table was actually filthy very disappointing. The latte was a joke and tasted awful also in such a small cup the service was shocking as the young man doing the drinks had to take orders make the drinks and serve them, it just seemed so unorganised and chaotic we had to wait nearly 3/4hour for a disgusting coffee on a filthy table - that was our fault, we should’ve left when we saw the state of the table/area and it wasn’t late, no excuse. From now on we will just stick to walking around the grounds!

Thought park was well worth the £8 entry fee wished I lived nearby otherwise I would have bought the yearly pass. Plenty to see only wished the walled garden had been open. Our dogs loved the walk in the woods and seeing the squirrels and the hall was interesting as well (dogs not allowed in the hall) good day out will visit again when in the area.

Beautiful gardens, woods and so much to see and do in a gorgeous setting. My only nag is the cafe, they grow so many things in the walled garden and really have an opportunity to do fresh seasonal food and homemade treats. However, we had a sausage roll and a hot chocolate, the hot chocolate was out of a machine stocked with instant, so no barista coffee or fresh chocolate steamed milk and the sausage roll wasn’t nice at all, the meat was mushy it was like premixed sage, onion and low quality pork. When we come here again, definitely going to be bringing a picnic as I can make far better than what we paid for! The cafe is a stark contrast to the grounds and hall :-(
