Fascinating insight into the life of John Ruskin - the original polymath. I had no idea previously of what a fascinating individual he was.

Simply stunning, had been meaning to go for ages and finally made it a few weeks back and were blown away. Great location, lovely house, super garden and fantastic staff. The on site cafe is amazing too !

It was an interesting view in to John Ruskin and the views are amazing. However, the garden walks are not for anyone who has issues with mobility or bad knee joints. Cafe was pleasant, with decent coffee and cake and wonderful views to enjoy whilst you relaxed. Main food on offer was limited and if you're fussy like me you'll stick to the cake.
