The has been maintained meticulously but I think the NT could do more with the gardens to bring paying visitors in. Also, there’s nothing for sale related to the NT - no books, calendars etc that you see at Mount Stewart. The cafe only provides hot and cold drinks and a few filled donuts, scones and Kit Kats. You can’t get anything savoury to eat. The itself is not suitable for those with mobility issues and neither are the gardens. The tour, running on the hour, lasts 45 minutes. Our had 12 people. That’s far too many for such small rooms. 8 should be the max. For example, we were nearly on top of each other in the gun room, the child’s bedroom and the main bedroom. I felt the was rushed. There was no time to ask questions. The guide was constantly checking her watch. It felt like we had to be in certain rooms by certain times or we weren’t running to schedule. I don’t mind schedules but it was so obvious it didn’t feel relaxing and it started to override the visitor experience. That’s not how things operated in Florence Court or Castle Coole. Not sure what the flies were at in the car park as the cars were covered in them. Absolutely beautiful place to visit. The is stunning with a long and colourful history. The is very interesting and I highly recommend that. The walks around the estate are beautiful and there is lots of information for kids to learn. Staff are so friendly and helpful. The bookshop is great so pay a visit there. The was shut due to renovation work. There are a few paths, but these were very muddy and quite slippy when we were there and one was closed. Dutch garden is small but would be lovely in late Spring and Summer. A good place to spend an hour. Entry into gardens is free, you need to pay for entry into the unless you are a National Trust member Really glad we stopped by on our way south. Really well presented and engaged guide that made the time go really quickly. Nice but small gardens and good short walks in the grounds. Beautiful Natuonal trust property with 80% of the original contents. The property has a real family home feel. It's worth getting the of the as it brings everything to life. Well kept grounds and lovely walks. Well worth a visit. Keith was our guide. He was brilliant. My partner has a health problem, and Keith carried a chair for him. To sit on from room to room. Exceptional service. This is guided tours only. Takes about an hour. A delightful set in beautiful grounds. Our guide gave us an excellent, light-hearted which lasted about an hour. The gardens are very attractive and had the weather been better, I could have spent much longer admiring them! Very good cuppa in the cafeteria, but a tad on the pricey side! No matter, a thoroughly enjoyable visit. It's a lovely place for a walk and the grounds and are kept beautifully, the wee cafe is great too. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is that I'm a garden person and there isn't much of a garden compared to other national trust properties. There is lovely longer walks though. The is very beautiful and it definitely has a magical feeling.
