    Great for family picnic. Nice grounds

  • Hon. M.Google review · 28 Dec 2025

    I've really had an exceptional experience here worth 5 star rating. Everything fascinates. For those asking,the entry it's 250 per adult. And the food is also good, goes for 350 for chips& chicken. It's beautiful, highly recommended.

    You get to learn about the rich history of Lord Maurice Egerton. Fourth and Last Baron Egerton of Tatton ( 1920-1958). The beautiful grounds are ideal for a picnic 🧺

    A very nice place to spend the day away from noise. No labels in place to identify what the rooms were for or identify tree species. Vandalism noted probably from unsupervised visits

  • Jackline K.Google review · 29 Dec 2024

    Not much to see in the castle and there was no tour guide, but the grounds are quite great for picnics, group events or just chill outdoor hangouts. Consider setting up an outdoor play park for kids, to keep them occupied for a little while. Picnicking was great 👍
