The house provides the perfect setting to enjoy the ever-changing seascape and countryside with refreshments from the tea-room.

There are longer walks through the historic park and woodland, which sweep down towards the estuary, as well as along Lamouth Creek to the Iron Age promontory fort and 18th century quay at Roundwood.
