A Lovely historical house and gardens behind the restaurant. The gardens were relatively small, but nice for a leisurely 20 minute walk around, with a few information boards talking about the history of the estate. It costs extra to go into the house, especially if an exhibit is on, and is a pleasant addition if staying for lunch at the rear Cafe.
