We had a fantastic afternoon wandering around the buildings and grounds. There was an activity trail for the kids which our 5 year old loved. The cafe was not open when we visited but we had taken a picnic anyway (the orchard garden is fantastic setting for a picnic). We will definitely be returning. A beautiful place in a beautiful location. There are also lots of picnic tables dotted around so I would definitely recommend making use of them.

First time visiting, they recently have had a cafe and things on site. Amazing.. the staff are so friendly, approachable and knowledgeable about the history. Audio available to find out as you go around. The fact that some of the rooms were dressed as they would have been back in the time was amazing

Toilets onsite, with great parking, and extremely helpful and knowledgeable staff. The keep is in remarkable condition, though not restored, but the residence is beautifully restored and is a snapshot into the past. This location was used in filming the movie Restoration, (aptly) we spent a good couple of hours here and had lunch in the garden at the rear in the shade of a lovely old Oak tree.

Great place to visit,so much to see and very well set up visually in kitchens etc. The castle is great for kids to roam and to play in the court gardens. Food and coffee both very tasty,lovely new restaurant. Definitely worth a visit.

I first visited on a school trip 50 years ago. Returned this year and it is as I remembered it and better! Stood on the gallery looking down into the courtyard I was transported back to being a 12 year old schoolboy once again. Magical. I am looking forward to returning again and especially keen to see the new visitor centre opening.
