Having grown up around castles and stately homes I can definitely compare and say this was well worth the visit. Views from afar along the lakeside, as well as up close, all impress. Staff helpful and smiling. Exhibits and services excellent. Very surprised how well the castle has held up over the centuries and how well it is being maintained. Unlike so many, you have access to most of it; not just one little wing or tower.
A definite on the visit list. Suggest arriving when opens. On our departure was quite busy, even for late September.
