Beautiful plantation house and the staff were friendly. The guide was very knowledgeable and made the tour enjoyable. Sometimes the groups get a bit large, so it’s difficult to maneuver around the house, but apart from that, the tour was good. Great pictures can be taken around the grounds as well.

Beautiful gardens. Beautiful home. The guide did an excellent job, though it was never clear where the tour actually started. The group thought it was one spot but it was actually another. The gift shop was a little overpriced and the staff was not all that helpful. We had the buffet lunch, which was good, but not a great selection of food. Overall I would go back just to wander around and take in all the beautiful gardens.
