Went there today to no avail, so a wasted journey. Their seems to be no information for this place, the website just links to an Airbnb let.

I visited a few years ago before the current owners took over. It's a lovely site, pretty gardens and lovely historical buildings. A family member was unfortunate enough to encounter Julian Bannermann who muttered expletives and complained about *expletive* tourists, I also encountered a female resident who accused me of trying to damage a statue whilst I was taking a photo. Very, very unpleasant people who obviously disliked sharing their garden with others. All in all quite a traumatising experience. I understand the Bannermanns have moved on now, so perhaps this information is irrelevant, but I just needed to share it. I hope the new ' House of Hackney' residents have more human qualities..... The 4 star review is for the beautiful environment and gardens and lovely staff in the coffee shop.

A must. Beautiful grounds, great views, loads of flowers, great cake in the little café.

Well worth a visit. A very interesting place and with gorgeous views over the countryside. The only downside is that access for disabled would be extremely difficult.

This was a nice place to visit. Having grown up in Saltash it was nice to be able to see it properly (um..without sneaking into the grounds.. as a kid). It's not your typical heritage site as it is a lived in property. The grounds are well maintained and you can go into the castle and all the way to the top keep. Although this closed off and used for chickens. There is a cafe which serves really nice cake and proper pots of tea. Prepare for a steep walk from car park to grounds, and back again. It's well worth a visit and will be going back again. Beware of opening times as it is limited
