We visited on a Sunday afternoon in the summer to get out of the heat. It was very air conditioned and nice inside! We brought our baby along, and unfortunately it is not stroller accessible. The wheelchair entrance is a lift and there is no access to the bottom/basement level or top floor except by stairs. We carried her instead. We were told there is a changing pad but it is located outside, so we changed her on a bench in the basement instead.

The washrooms that we visited were not accessible but were gender-neutral. The staff were also very friendly :) Worth a visit...

The curators are both friendly and it’s worth the visit if you’re...

The staff is VERY knowledgeable about all aspects of the estate, from design and typical use of the many areas of the house for entertaining to architectural features. None of my questions (often relating to very specific aspects) were left unanswered.
This is a hidden gem that took me by surprise, as I expected that there would be far less to experience considering only hearing...
