Only had 2.5 hours to explore - nowhere near enough. Easily a full day's outing, especially if you like to find a quiet corner to sit and stare for a while. Lots to see, both indoors and out. Visited 1st January and surprised to see swathes of early daffodils and spectacular rhododendrons in full flush. Must be a micro climate - sheltered by magnificent trees.

The summer home of Queen Victoria is worth a visit if you like looking around statly homes. The restoration work is constant here, but the work to date has really brought the splendour. back to the place. Easy to get to from Cowes and parking is plentiful. It was worth the visit, though the four-legged friend is limited the grounds only, so this may cause an issue for those who cannot leave the dog with someone.

Although it was not completely open what we saw was superb. The house guides made the visit magical. Every volunteer made us feel so welcome. Certainly we will return when fully open. Hope the severe storm damage to the beach area can be repaired in time for next years reopening date. We missed not being able to walked down. Thumbs up to the staff at the cafe by the house they cope magnificently when a surge of visitors arrived. Your cream teas were mouthwatering. Thanks to all for a great visit.

So interesting. What a beautiful place to visit. Well worth the price. We explored the grounds and house for over 5 hours and still could have stayed longer. Beautiful gardens at any time of the year. A chance to look into the lives of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert, and their much loved , welcoming family home with their nine children.

We had a great day, we walked a lot and learned a lot too. The staff were all friendly and helpful. There were plenty of places to have a drink and a cake. There were also a good number of well spaced out toilets on the site. You do feel you are walking in history.
