The gardens are lovely in themselves, with an apple orchard, field,and cottage garden. The house itself is an authentically wonderful Tudor house. Not accessible to wheelchair uses or those with severe mobility issues at all due to its period nature. Lots of little steps and beams to navigate, steep curved staircases with partial banisters and uneven flooring. Staff were friendly, welcoming and knowledgeable. Disabled parking can be found at the back of the house through the coach car park. Nice little giftt shop. The cafe is over the road selling light meals and cakes with lots of outdoor seating and some inside. No toilets at the cafe. · via Google [Ashley Wakefield](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/115999090892130219015/reviews) ★★★★★ A step back in time in this delightful cottage and grounds.
