Visited the House yesterday. What a beautiful restoration. Found the audio guides really good and simple to use, to be able to stop and start them as you wish is really nice so you don't feel rushed and can pause to contemplate when you want to. Personally would like a bit more information and displays on the restoration of the building and how it has changed over the years. The sections showing the original wallpaper and friezes were excellent.

I can't recommend this highly enough. The audio guide was informative and you can pause it at any time to speak to the guides or read exhibits more closely, for example Tennyson's edited draft of The Charge of the Light Brigade. You really get a sense of the family who lived there. The walled garden is stunning and the restoration story exhibition in the grounds is interesting too.

We had a really enjoyable time today visiting the house despite the dreadful weather. The house has been wonderfully restored with great attention to detail. The staff were welcoming and knowledgeable. Thoroughly recommend a visit.

It hasn't been open long so looks fresh and new. A lot of work has gone into making the house interesting to visitors and explaining the history. The gardens are beautiful, well laid out and cared for, obviously a labour of love. It's at one end of the island but well worth the drive wherever you are staying.

Visited on Friday – best guides/stewards of anywhere I've been. The whole experience was excellent. I usually avoid headsets like the plague so it was wonderful to be offered a “headset” free machine. The only mild downside was the lack of refreshment facilities – but we survived. Thank you all at your beautiful property.

A wonderful walled garden, immaculately kept. If you only have time to visit one garden on the island it has to be this one. And not a ripoff price to visit like some others.

Lovely afternoon visiting the grounds, house was closed. Terrific project to bring it back to its original state, with a very interesting display showing how it was achieved. Gardens were amazing. Dog friendly in the gardens.
