Great place so full of history and it’s most certainly beautiful inside but extremely busy. We arrived for 12.30 with our tour, so zi would recommend an earlier morning visit, So felt you do not get enough time to stand and read anything. You’re really just quickly walking through looking and moving on. Wouldn’t recommend for young children. Gardens are beautiful, spectacular, and they have a small cart that takes you round to see them. Bus picked us up on time from outside the Pullman Hotel and took us there. I would say the 2.5hrs was enough time.
