What visitors say
Just Beautiful and a lovely day out. We spent quite a few hours there as went round it first looking and doing some of the fun, hands on activities. Then we had a coffee break in the onsite cafe which did delicious coffees and cakes in an actual room in the house. We then went back in to sit in some of the rooms with the free audio guide. Throughly enjoyed ourselves and were made welcome by all the staff. Wonderful place to step back in time too. A must visit and the gardens are beautiful too.

This is a real gem. I’m local to area but never been. This year I decided to buy a museum pass for Brighton & Hove. What I particularly liked is that the manor still feels like a house rather than a museum- it was really interesting with a rich history. I was lucky it was a particularly lovely day and the park was bustling with activity. Nice car was well with some good food. Its opening hours are a bit limited. Only open Friday to Monday

Lovely museum! The staff is very friendly. Information boards guide you through a day on the estate, while the free audio guide features voices from the past explaining the lives of the masters and servants (which is quite funny from today's perspective). The only critique is the tedious Wi-Fi sign-in needed for the audio guide, but the overall experience is absolutely worth 5 stars

Very interesting house to visit - Victorian and Edwardian fittings and features. Well interpreted with lots of information including details on the staff behind the scenes. The house externally doesn't look much but inside it's a different story. Very pleasant and most helpful staff, they introduce you to the house on arrival.
