Part of the place was closed for maintenance, but I expected it (the information was stated online, so can't complain. This is a great place to visit with kids (prices are really reasonable and under 5 go for free!, 2 play areas, lots of different birds and so so many deers who look magnificent

A lovely place to visit, though the entry price may put some people off. As well as the hall, with interesting displays about the history of the place, there are lots of other things to do. They have an excellent animal world majoring on different types of birds. There are good playground facilities and both shorter and longer walks that can be done. There is a popular cafe serving both breakfast and lunch. At several times of year there are special events.

A great family day out with lots to see. It is worth a trip around the house as it has some amazing bits of furniture, a camel carved in 700, yep 1,300 years old. The bird park was fantastic, hornbills my fav, plus the Visayan Warty Pigs.

Such a disappointment and I'm hoping I can change my two star review soon.
Sadly we arrived on the day the house was closed and part of the wildlife park was being re-done.
We bought tickets in advance that had said the house would be open and that the wildlife park closed at 4pm (last entry at 3:15pm). Great a nice afternoon sorted....
But we were told at the gate that Mon and Tues 6-7 Nov23 the house was closed whilst they took down the Halloween decorations.
This wasn't on the website. And as we paid tickets and we were being told this after the gate guard scanned our tickets we decided to go forwards and explore.
Hopefully we can go back and look at the house.
The little of the grounds we did see were nice and the deer in the autumn coloured fields were very nice

Great place to visit. There are some interesting animals to see. My favourite was the bats. They have a great gift shop and cafe. Toilets right near the cafe that are clean. Well worth a trip with the family for a lovely day out.

£10 per person is abit steep for what there is but its a lovely day out especially for little ones. Lots of play areas, cafe, animals and the house is actually good for kids too. Some toys and different dress up areas.
Also there is toilet and cleaning facilities for disabled including hoist and bed, brilliant thought.

Nice place for a stroll and chill out in the gardens. Kids enjoy the play area, woods and the Wildlife zone. But there are a few enclosures that are empty, potentially to do with bird flu and some areas are a little tired.

Many exotic birds in cages were in good order but noticed that the water in the pools looked green in colour but many cages were also empty - not sure why unless they were affected by the bird flu outbreak of course.
Children enjoyed their time on the playgrounds but limited seating for adults to supervise them.
Went into the house lower floor only as quite dark inside & noted lots of fairy lights in rooms - maybe a theme.
Gardens had recently been replanted.
There is a cafe but didn't use it. Toilets were very clean.
