I had a wonderful visit here on a sunny afternoon! The views of the surrounding gardens were breathtaking. It’s a great place for kids, as they have plenty of space to run around. The only downside was that there wasn't much information available outside of the guided tours, so I would’ve loved to see some more signage. Still, it was a lovely experience, and I can’t wait to return!

Visiting this historical gem was such a delightful experience! The architecture is stunning, and you can really feel the history as you walk through the halls. We especially loved the guided tour; our guide was knowledgeable and shared fascinating stories about the mansion's past. The gardens around the property were also beautiful and well-maintained, perfect for a family photo op. I do wish there were a few more interactive exhibits, especially for the kids, as they seemed a bit restless at times. Overall, it was a fantastic day out, and I highly recommend it to anyone interested in history or architecture!
