We will then enjoy a delicious lunch at the Stables Café on the property. You will have the afternoon to tour the gardens, gift shops and other areas on the property.
We will be leaving the hotel at 8:15 am carpooling to the Estate. Additional guided tours including the Rooftop tour and the Backstairs Tour are available for an addition fee
