The gardens are a pleasure to walk around, and the tour was very informative and well worth the visit. Rooms were authentic with many artefacts, and the cafe was huge with a great selection of food. Volunteers and staff were super helpful and friendly. Thank you · via Google [Matt Lawrence](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/117980459013802606736/reviews) ★★★★★ Another beautiful National Trust property! Absolutely incredible how well preserved this 700 year old property is. The guides inside were phenomenal and knew a lot of information about the most trivial of questions. The formal gardens were just the right size too. A bit of a shame how it was advertised as very dog friendly, but we were told that actually meant the larger estate. The cafe was a decent place to sit while waiting for the others though. · via Google [Kate](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/106548779082992383429/reviews) ★★★★★ We had a fabulous day. The staff were very friendly and helpful - excellent communication skills with my elderly, hearing impaired mother in law. We borrowed their two trampers which enabled my disabled in-laws to access almost the whole grounds (excluding the inside of the castle, as it's an ancient building, not suitable for wheelchair users, which we already knew beforehand). We had cheese scones/sausage roll and drinks in the cafe- all delicious! The meals looked lovely but we'd had a big breakfast! We loved the fabulous gardens, which had so much to see in spring. We've been in summer before, and it's beautiful then too. Then, we went right up to the top viewing area, past the farm, through bluebell woods, to the spectacular views of the Lakeland hills. It was so lovely to be able to see England's highest peak, when disabled. We had great weather, which certainly helped to make for a great day out. It probably wouldn't be so much fun in pouring rain and low cloud, unless you could look around the castle (which we've done with younger family, and I'd also recommend highly). · via Google [Natalie Briggs](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/103370671677435319586/reviews) ★★★★★ Volunteers here were really knowledgeable. The kids trail is ace! It didn't need the featured poker on thing (but my kids are outdoorsy anyway). House is lovely, gardens pretty and lots to explore. Easily have a day here. Not all parts are dog friendly as with most national trusts. · via Google [See all reviews on Google →](https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m4!3m3!1s0x47d769ea69fcf363:0x51957d0f8239645!9m1!1b1?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) Visitors say this historic house and gardens offers beautiful, well-maintained grounds with diverse plant species and interesting historical rooms.
