Beautiful place, the garden has a diversity of colourful flowers and everything looks is cared by the personnel. The guides inside the Castle are very acknowledged and explained how the Mother Queen used to live in each stance during her summer holidays. The place looks well cared and all the stories the guides told us make me transported to another time. Every pound is worth it, highly recommended a stop there. Furthermore you can enjoy a variety of delicious meals in the Tearoom and buy a souvenir in the Gift Shop, so you have the full combo in your visit.

The grounds and the caste have been well cared for and it's definitely worth a visit. The walled garden is beautiful, unfortunately though, you can't get inside the corner tower. There is a small petting area just along from the castle with chicks and lambs etc, the lady there was lovely and knowledgeable. The castle is interesting, there's lots of quaint items inside with stories to be had from the guides in each room. All of the guides were great, very polite, knowledgeable and good with my kids. We had a lovely day, the only think I'd say is, I felt we didn't have access to very much of the castle. You only get around one floor then it's down to the kitchen and out. I'd hoped to see the bedrooms and maybe get up to one of the towers for a nice wide angle picture of it all. I'd still recommend it though, it's worthwhile. Keep in mind though when picking your time to visit, the gardens and the cafe both close at 4pm, which I felt was a little early, especially for the cafe. We only just made it in time! On a footnote, the toilets were one of the cleanest I've been too, they were actually lovely. *Please note, disappointingly, no photography is allowed inside.

Well worth the visit. A very homely castle, the attendants very knowledgeable. The walled garden was very nice. Will look better later in the season. The cafe provided a reasonable range of food at affordable prices.

What a lovely experience. The tour felt so personal which was down to the personnel who took us through each room. You really got an insight as to how the Queen mother lived in this beautiful home. Gardens gorgeous too. Worth every penny.
