Absolutely delightful visit this fine and sunny day. We enjoyed reading about the restoration project and came away eager to contribute to this important work. The spatter of artisan potters and jewelers was so lovely and we bought some fab items. The little cafe was open and the food was fresh and delicious - we had sandwiches in gluten free bread. Really lovely visit enhanced by the beautiful gardens and flowers which are clearly well maintained and cared for. ❤️
Visited today and paid a visit to the cafe. A shared bowl of soup, 2 toasties and 2 coffees later and we left very happy bunnies. Fabulous coffee, amazing bread and the quality of chicken, cheese and ham was fantastic. Inspired by the …
Had a nice wander round, cafe was open but didn't pop in to any of the shops as on my way home. Didn't realise how old it is!
I last visited here back in 2019, & there definitely has been improvements. There are various shops, from a craft shop, to a pottery shop, & an art shack, with a gallery coming soon. Also coming soon is a distillery shop. Other than the shops, there is a cafe, toilets & of course, there is plenty to explore!
There is a great annual event held in May for the Wartime Weekend
It's not glamourising war. Its showcasing and regaling our history. Very informative I'm very nice grounds
Considering it basically free entry- (donations welcome) it's worth a visit. The art/pottery/jewellery shops might interest you. The castle walls will entertain the kids. Dads will love the choice of beers to enjoy in the sun or under the …
t's an interesting place to visit, but it could do with some information boards outside, & something on what they're trying to achieve. There are few craft shops here, mainly ceramics / pottery, & a photo gallery. Rather wet when we …
There's not a great deal to see. Some nice little shops but very expensive. We were waiting so long for a cup of tea, not great service and i don't understand how it can take about 25 minutes to make 2 cups of tea, and they didn't come out with the milk. Apart from that it's free to see the ruins and to park so still worth a visit.
Lovely place to visit on a sunny day. Has a great little cafe where you can sit outside surrounded by the high boundary walls.
There are craft shops selling pottery, paintings, and jewellery. There is also a …
Excellent place, lots to explore, wonderful history. Lovely small businesses and workshops - ceramics, jewellery, photography, metalwork. Great café, all dog friendly and good clean toilets.
