Wonderful wooden play park in the trees, free to see the Victorian kitchen with dressing up etc. Cafe food was very good and not high priced. Lovely staff too.

The wildlife around the Grounds. Look out for the adorable ducklings on the Upper Loch. Watch the elegant swans. Listen out for different varieties of birds. And always keep an eye out for the elusive red squirrel!
