Just wondering how much of the house is available to view (seeing as it is being restored). Also, are they restored sections or original?
A:
Hi if you book one of the tours you will see a lot more and learn about the history, Obviously it is in the process of restoration, but definitely worth a visit.
do you know if you have to book / join a tour , or can you visit rooms on your own without a tour. or if you have to book a tour , are you allowed "free time" to go around the house on your own after the tour has finished ? thanks pam

It’s by tour only and it’s not cheap! £20 a ticket unless you’re a member of the Nationals trust when it’s £10. But its worth it and you feel you’re doing your bit to being the house back to life. I don’t usually do tours but our guide was so knowledgeable it was completely worth it.
Do you have to book a tour? My father is 90 but tires very easily so have to take things very nice and steady with quite a few breaks so it would be nice to wander around at our own pace.
A:
We did as they only open certain days. But ring them and explain, you never know they might be slack and have a member of staff that cold accommodate you. It’s worth a try.
