Blessed with a beautiful, sunny day but what a castle! Lovely terraced grounds and the wisteria was putting on a show with its flowers and aroma. It is not really suitable for those with too grea…Full review by heidig268

Such a wonderful day out - so many fascinating things to see and appreciate. The castle is atmospheric and brimming with history. I highly recommend a guided tour ( our tour guide Vicky was one of t…Full review by J S
I'm not sure about the time we will arrive, I've read that if I want to book the tickets I have to choose the time slot, but it's not a strict arrival time. But what about the guided tour? If I book the guided tour at 13, and I arrive at 12, do I have to wait for the booked guided tour, or I can join the guided tour at 12? Can I book the tickets and then pay for the guided tour when I arrive? Thank you!
A:
You can book onto the guided tour when you arrive. Though if you booked in for 13.00 and arrived at 12.00 there is plenty to see and do while you wait (the garden, look at the castle …
You can book onto the guided tour when you arrive. Though if you booked in for 13.00 and arrived at 12.00 there is plenty to see and do while you wait (the garden, look at the castle then return to the entrance for the tour). I was on crutches when I was there so was worried about keeping up with a tour group. I found enough written information in each room. You will definitely enjoy it.
We will be staying near the castle next week (end of December) and wanted to know if we can get close enough to see and photograph the outside of the castle? I know the inside tours do not run again until March. Thanks!
A:
Think it would be difficult from entrance area, but a distance shot may be available from minor roads, from round the estate
Are the public allowed to hunt the cubs, foxes and badges on the estate ? Locals are reporting your deers are for meat? Why is this all HUSH HUSH???
A:
Hunting live animals is illegal in this country. So my answer is No! The deer may well be sent for slaughter for their meat but that is an entirely different matter.
Would it be suitable for someone with limited mobility?
A:
I was on a coach tour where some had limited mobility. There was a guided tour which had many steps so not all joined it. Lovely butterfly house. I agree that it's best to ring first.
