Best time to visit
Early morning or late afternoon in late spring or early autumn to enjoy mild weather, blooming borders and fewer visitors; avoid still summer days when midges are likelier near the lake.
Budget tips
Gardens are usually free; guided house tours typically charge a small admission, often under €10, with concessions and occasional free open days announced locally. Book timed tour slots online to guarantee entry and check National Parks or Heritage cards and local attraction passes for discounts.

About
Greiti faktai: Lakes and mountains flank an elegant manor whose rooms echo with creaky floorboards and a faint peat-smoke scent. Gardens spread across dozens of acres, revealing sweeping lawns, towering rhododendrons, and a greenhouse where fragrant ferns mingle with damp stone.
Svarbiausi dalykai: A walled garden hides more than a dozen labeled heritage fruit trees, where you can crouch to read old varietal names and taste a crisp apple that snaps when bitten. Guided small-group tours are capped at 12 people, and during the walk you’ll often hear a local gardener point out a single copper beech that throws dazzling red leaves underfoot in autumn.
Insider tips
- Wear waterproof walking shoes, paths become muddy after rain and around lakeside areas.
- Photographers should aim for the walled Victorian garden and lakeside lawn at golden hour for the best light.
- Skip midday weekends by taking the first guided tour or arriving after 4pm to avoid coach groups.
- Check house tour times and book in advance, and bring a compact umbrella for sudden showers.
