How Baby-Friendly is Murin-an?

Positives:
- Free baby admission: Children under 6 enter at no cost.
- Complimentary garden talk: Hourly introductions at reception are free and baby-friendly.
- Indoor stroller seating: Main-house seating offers room for a stroller and garden views.
Challenges:
- Uneven garden paths: Gravel and stepping stones make stroller use difficult.
- No baby-care facilities: There is no diaper-changing station or nursing room on site.
