Now I scheduled this as a stopping place on our way back from Camber Sands so we stayed a little over an hour but definitely think that you could spend a good half day here.
I quite liked the pictures in the National Trust handbook and was happy that we stopped here. Looking at the map, I wish that we had had more time here to see everything but it was very hot and we needed to get home.
We took a wander through the beautiful gardens and made sure that we we saw the Old Castle and Moat. We did not get a chance to go into Scotney House. We saw the Ice House which is Grade I listed.
Dogs are allowed on leads, there are toilets and a tearoom and worth a visit if you are out here!
