Park and Grounds
Pros:
"A really lovely, scenic place to visit. A great park facility to entertain children with a few benches nearby and lots of open space to sit with a picnic and let pets run wild."
"Absolutely loved the grounds, truly beautiful views- nice to sit and rest awhile."
"The beautiful historic house and grounds set in the South Yorkshire countryside is a gem not to be missed."
"The gardens are quite big and there is a nice little lake."
"Peaceful grounds with pleasant views over the Lake and Doncaster in the distance."
"Gardens and lake area well kept and clean plenty of space for kids to run around and take dogs on a walk."
"The Grounds are beautiful and fully accessible to disabled customers."
Cons:
"Do be aware of the occasional pile of dog mess, this is the only down side to the park."
"Kids park is basic and oftenly the hang out place for local teenagers (usual lighter burns on the equipment)."
"Some of the paths are quite steep so not suitable for wheelchairs."
"Only downside for me and other MTB riders is that the lake's and woods are always flooded."
"Unfortunately that meant that carpark soon filled up and cars were parked on every spare bit of land and on roadside (meaning drivers have to be extra cautious)."
"Very small car park though so be prepared if it's a sunny day to circle around a few times."
"Gardens were great, but unfortunately you can no longer use the lift with a wheelchair due to their fire safety policy."
Cafe and Food Options
Pros:
"The tearoom has nice cakes and food, it is very popular and busy."
"The homemade pizzas were beautiful. Staff very friendly and the area is kid and dog friendly too."
"Cafes are superb, the blueberry, lemon and coconut tray bake was amazing!"
"The cafe was very good, good choice of food, very nice, I had ploughmans, the staff were very friendly and incredibly patient."
"A visit to the tea rooms is enjoyable and should you have your dog water is on hand for them to drink, while you have refreshments."
"There is a cafe that offers cakes, bakes, hot drinks, and light nibbles like sandwiches."
"The coffee shop was lovely & quaint."
Cons:
"Nice, clean fast service but the lady at the till (older, shoulder length grey hair) was very rude."
"The play area was good but only kept my 7 & 8 year old granddaughters interested for about 15 minutes."
"Beware- coffee is automatic machine and not barista. It is pretty poor coffee but there are enough alternatives to keep a coffee fan happy."
"The only thing that wasn't so great was the toilet in the cafe."
"Disappointing that the takeaway drink place could only do non-dairy milk in basic tea or coffee."
"Only visited for afternoon tea, venue a little on the small side gets rather busy end up standing in doorway, food was ok but had better at other tea rooms."
"If you want your food you have to wait 40 min +It's only 1 person who is taking orders and serving teas and coffees and takes the payment!"
Parking and Accessibility
Pros:
"Parking is so cheap! £1.10 for an hour!"
"Parking was free because someone had stolen the parking meters."
"Large carpark with contactless payment -free after 6pm."
"Pleasantly surprised to find that the whole walk around the lake from the car park was fully wheelchair/pushchair friendly."
"With ample parking on-site and easy public transport access, everyone can enjoy a day out here."
"Excellent paths for wheelchair users."
"Very accessible for wheelchairs."
Cons:
"FANTASTIC FOR KIDS N DOGS BUT THE FREE PARKING ENDS THIS MONTH SO UNLESS YOU PARK IN A DISSABILITY BAY, YOU NEED TO PAY."
"Pay to park."
"Reopening since covid-19 means parking more limited as every-other space, so if driving get there by 12noon but so much land that there's plenty of space to explore by bike or foot and plenty of entrances into the grounds."
"Parking is reasonable but card only, no cash."
"The downside is the parking charges. It's about £2.80 for 3 hrs or £6 for more than 3hrs!"
"Car Park is card only, does not accept contactless payment from phone!"
"Parking isn't free but only a couple of pounds for 3 hours."
