The magnificence of the edifice cannot be underestimated. We arrived in glorious sun with snow covered fields with locals walking their dogs, cows ambling in pastural peace and red deer on the hills.… Full review by Paul M
Just wondering how much of the house is available to view (seeing as it is being restored). Also, are they restored sections or original?

I’m afraid I didn’t go inside the house on my visit in early Spring, but I understand it is well worth it and has been very sensitively restored by the charitable trust who run it. I am hoping to go back myself to have a look in the near future.
do you know if you have to book / join a tour , or can you visit rooms on your own without a tour. or if you have to book a tour , are you allowed "free time" to go around the house on your own after the tour has finished ? thanks pam

It’s by tour only and it’s not cheap! £20 a ticket unless you’re a member of the Nationals trust when it’s £10. But its worth it and you feel you’re doing your bit to being the house back to life. I don’t usually do tours but our guide was so knowledgeable it was completely worth it.

Hi Malc, At the moment, as we develop the house, it is pre-booked guided tours only. This is due to various factors including security and health and safety. We certainly hope to be free flow as soon as possible. If you would like to give the office a call on 01226351161 however, I am sure we could discuss your father's needs and see what we can do. We would hate for him to miss out on seeing this special place. Thank you
