Lovely NT house to visit very well infomed attendants in each room and lots for kids to fo too. We had the fortune to visit the place when a children tour was scheduled. Volunteers dressed up in historical gowns where there to explain how they lived during Francis Drake's times and even later on - A falconeer was there to show his falcon and a cute barn owl.
It was very nice and interesting - the Abbey and the gardens are worth the visit. Not the sort of visit I expect at a National Trust property to be honest. We arrived fairly late in the day but the lady on Reception assured us we were in time to make the last entry of the day. So we pottered on down towards the pretty cluster of buildings. There was a small sign stating that dogs were not allowed however we misjudged which area this was indicating and carried on.
We had to explain that we had made a mistake but to be honest we felt the signage was quite poor. We then proceeded to ask about entry, our intention was to walk the dog then both go around the abbey when she was back in the car. In the end I went in and my husband walked the dog.
I felt I was rushed around the property - the front door was actually locked after me and as I wandered the rooms with the other visitors the volunteer staff gathered with their coats on silently willing us to leave. I left a good 20 minutes before I needed to because basically I felt pushed out.
I got the impression others were rushing too. It was a thoroughly disappointing visit due to the rude staff, a huge contrast to our visit to Cotehele earlier in the day.
I used to volunteer for the Trust so I know what sort of an experience a visitor should receive and I would never have spoken to a visitor as that man on the front door did. Clive G London, UK contributions. There were too many children running around unaccompanied, which rather marred the visit. The museum is quite interesting but offers a very subjective view of Francis Drake.
