Keeping the kids entertained during the long summer holidays

This summer we will have exciting 'drop off' activities for children aged 5 to 11, run by our experienced education team.

While the kids are having a ball, parents can relax with a cup of tea in the Bay Restaurant, walk in the beautiful grounds or take part in a house tour.
