White noted in 1850 that it ‘is delightfully seated on the east bank of the Tavy . . . The mansion has tasteful and well wooded grounds . . . It was visited twice by George III, Queen Charlotte, and three of the Princesses, during their sojurn at Saltram, in 1789, and they were delighted with the romantic scenery of the grounds and woods.’ Stockdale described it as ‘an extensive & finely wooded demesne ... although the mansion is not remarkable for architectural embellishments, it is distinguished as one of the most delightful in the county.’ There is an Italian style garden to the south.
