First - it's only open one day a year, for the National Gardens Scheme, so it's not a visitor attraction, it's a chance to see someone's house (part of) and garden. Second - the entrance fee is given via NGS to charity, so the cost is a charitable donation. That said, it's a picture perfect castle with high walls, towers at the corners, moat round the outside, and a lovely half timbered house in the courtyard. The planting is wonderful - roses, cornus, water lilies, vegetable garden - all very appealing, and very worth while visiting. Parking is in a field just outside, and that makes a v. pleasant picnic spot, so bring sandwiches if the weather's good. Definitely going back !
