Size of the day
The estate covers more than 240 hectares, so choose a smaller route or allow a full day rather than trying to cover everything.

Why visit
The mix of castle rooms, two play areas, gardens and coast lets families change pace through the day instead of asking children to stay interested in one long house tour.
