Excellent! Gorgeous house, good tour guide, in-depth tour, beautiful gardens, fabulous art. Also we thoroughly enjoyed our overnight stay in the guest cottages plus dinner at the Carriage House and drinks at the Turtle Bar. The owner Kevin and his dogs are a delight. Go!

lovely property. We had the guided tour (about 45 minutes) of the house and then you are welcome to wander around the rest of the property

Everyone was very accommodating. Quiet, calm atmosphere. It was more than I expected. Beautiful and historical.
