This is a great place to visit.
Plenty to see inside the mansion and really interesting. There is also the fantastic gardens, farm and walled gardens to explore anytime of the year. There is a large estate and several suggested walks. Although when we visited (Oct 2023) there were some parts of the garden and a larger part of the estate were flooded from the river Trent
As you would expect with National Trust, there is a car park, toilets and cafe.
Spent a lovely couple of hours here today which wasn't nearly enough! The mansion is wonderful to see and the apartment too, lots of lovely furniture, paintings and decorations, and it's really interesting to learn about the history. The walled garden was lovely and lots of beautiful flowers still even though it's middle of October. There's a really nice little gift shop and tearooms but we missed going into the secondhand book shop as it had closed, we did just about get tea and cake in the farm cafe though, very nice cakes indeed. We saw sheep, cows, grouse and chickens. There's much more for us to explore on the grounds and along the river so we'll be going again. Definitely worth a visit!
Had some free national trust tickets so went with my sister. Took a picnic but also visited the tea room for cake and coffee.
If you want to explore everything then you need a full day.. plenty of parking and lots of walking.. free shuttle bus to o take people to the main mansion. The volunteers that give their time here are worth their weight in gold. We would definitely go again.
