Lovely day out, whole family enjoyed it. We are national trust members so was easy to arrive and park up, there was no queue to show our pass at the gates when we arrived. We parked in the main car park where there was plenty spaces and a short walk from the facilities where there was picnic benches, toilets and cafe. We visited the play area and labyrinth and had a walk through the woods and around the house. Such beautiful views. We did take pram for our youngest, there was lots of trails that wouldn't of been suitable for it but we walked from the house to the play area no problem although steep in some areas. Suitable footwear is a must! Play area was great for the kids and in a good condition, there was a kiosk there that wasn't open when we went but looks like it would sell refreshments, there was toilets and a car park next to play area too. There is plenty car parks on the trail so if you have little ones that can't walk far you can drive between each car park/area to visit, however there were lots of beautiful trails to walk around as well with plenty picnic areas to stop at if youve brought your own food. We didn't visit inside the house this time but did look around the outside and walked across the iron bridge with the house view in the background! Overall we had a great day out and made for tired legs on the way home. Would definitely recommend a visit. The kids are already planning their next trip back.

Really interesting visit, the house itself was groundbreaking with its use of innovative technology and the contents are relevant to its time. It has interesting below stairs and upstairs stories. The room stewards are knowledgeable and helpful . There are some lovely artifacts, a great garden and super walks, the carriage drive you can do in your car is lovely. There are picnic areas but also a good NT cafe and shop.
