It has to be said that, unless you're into the 'Hello' crowd of a few generations ago, the house interior is uninteresting and poor value for money for non-Trust members. This is a house in which almost nothing of historical importance happened -- no grand conferences, and no famous political meetings -- because it was regarded as a weekend getaway. There are many unexceptional paintings hanging in the rooms and corridors, but some of the older ones (from the 16th and 15th centuries) ought to be better protected.

However in the gardens outside, the view across the valley from the Terrace makes up for any internal shortcomings.
