Although small, it has a cozy atmosphere and offers excellent views along with an intriguing glimpse into this well-known hall. It seems like a fantastic place to visit during Christmas, and the café was nicely presented, serving some delicious cakes!

You could say it feels like a cherished family residence, free from any dark secrets. It's certainly worth a visit, although I find it quite pricey for what you receive. There aren’t any real gardens or grounds to explore—just a section of the house. The restaurant is pleasant, offering home-cooked dinners and is obviously popular, as it had many tables reserved on a Thursday.

There's not really that much to explore if I'm honest, alot of the grounds are closed off to the public and you'll probably get all around in 2-3 hours max so I don't think the price is justified. That said if you like history and this type of thing I don't think you'll be disappointed, just don't expect to much to see. The staff and guide were very helpful and knowledgeable so top marks for them. Quite alot of older people were complaining about accessibility as there's a very steep incline up to the hall (for which there are steps) but it's very steep and there's also lot's more stairs to climb once inside. There is a restaurant/tea room which we used for afternoon tea which was very nice but worth booking in advance as it was very busy. All toilets are unisex, overall it's nice to visit but not that much to do there half a day max and your done, so if your planning a day out there it might be good to find something else to do in the area.
