Review
A duke's house that takes children seriously: a superb playground, a farmyard, and parkland that feels like a film. The house itself wows older kids; little ones may prefer to stay outside.
Our recommendation. Garden + farmyard + playground is the winning combo with under-10s. Save the full house for 8+.
