    visit 25/10/2021: using National Trust Family membership (fantastic value, pays for itself after just a few visits!). Good walks, family friendly, 3 out of 5 friendly for a pram/buggy as paths can get a bit knotty but still worth doing. Lovely weather on the day helped, the rose garden wasn’t in full bloom but you could still smell the lovely roses when you went to the area. Parking through the tightish archway near the picnic benches not for larger vehicles/nervous drivers so parking is also available a bit further out if needed. Highly recommend a visit ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    Had a great day out here with a visit to the farmyard (kids will love feeding those hens and roosters), a guided tour to the beautiful mansion with Georgian decorations, as well as a nice stroll around the gardens and along the Lady's mile walk (took around 30-40 mins to complete). There is also a small playpark on site and ample parking spaces. Definitely worth a visit especially if you happen to be in the Portadown area.

    This is a wonderful national trust property. Plenty of parking and some other outbuildings and yards to look around. The gift shop is quite small so don’t expect much. But The Argory is just down the road if you want more amenities. The house itself is really interesting. It is quite small so doesn’t take more than an hour to be guided around. As always the guides are great and know all the information by heart. This is on my ‘to go back to’ list of national trust houses. Don’t forgot to feed the chickens in the farm yard. It’s great fun!

    Visited for one of the apple Sunday events and had a great day picking apples, tasting all sorts of apple based foods and drinks and generally wandering around. The staff were lovely. There is a decent sized kids play park with some animals for them to see. Good family day out.

    I love this place. Disappointed with the number of farm animals on this visit. There were very few and I remember there being a good selection in the past. I really missed the peacock! It always made are visits. Feeding the hens is always a winner with children. We didn't do the house tour this visit but I have enjoyed it in the past. The grounds are gorgeous. Great for dogs!

    Very busy day as the annual apple picking and associated events were in full swing. Ideal for families. Quite a small house, though very interesting and the staff made it a much better experience than I've found for a while in a National Trust property

    Lovely walks in the forest and around the house. Lady's Mile walk is sheltered and has an even path so suitable for all ages

    Well guided house tour with lots of information from our host. Went for a walk around the stable yard and grounds after. Not too busy and lovely Armagh scenes to look at.

    Walk paths have been relaid and are easy to walk on and accessible to most

  • 5/5 Colin W. 10 months ago on Google
    Didn't really get to see much today due to the appalling signage (or lack thereof between the Argory, where I'd previously been, and this place. Why 5 stars? Because the guy at the till was funny, warm and charming. We had a laugh about my efforts to get to the place before it shut, he helped me get some water and recommended a walk I might try. Such a nice guy - it made me sure of a return (with a map!)

    Always had a soft spot for this place. Even though, as a child 40 years ago, I got hit in the head by a swing and ended up in hospital. I think it's much safer now.

    Great place go there for a walk with wee dog as she loves running around with a stick in her mouth. It well kept clean and tidy but the carpark on roadside need done very badly fix and not even suitable for anyone wi disabilities!!

    Interesting house, but only a limited number of rooms open. Extensive grounds to roam in with farmyard, which has live chickens. Looking round the house and farmyard only took us an hour or so. If we had children who wanted to play in the playground, or if we wanted to walk the trails we could have stayed far longer.
