The art and ceramics, with room stewards reviewers say are glad to talk you through them.
Before you go
Reviewers say the grounds are much bigger than they look, so allow time and sensible footwear; some brought a picnic rather than use the restaurant, and Historic Houses members reported free admission on their visit.
Reviewers describe a lot packed into one estate: the house with its art and ceramics collections, large grounds, a miniature railway that several single out, and a children's adventure playground. Room stewards and volunteers are consistently described as knowledgeable and friendly. Several reviewers mention free entry with Historic Houses membership and plenty of parking, and more than one advises checking the opening days because it is not open all week. Opinions differ on catering, with one reviewer finding the restaurant overpriced while noting there is a coffee shop and plenty of picnic space alongside the more upmarket Granary. The estate also hosts large events, including rallying and an airshow, which some reviewers visited for rather than the house.
