"Jacobean-style house with gardens and a working watermillA passion for tradition and impressing guests inspired one man to transform a run-down country house and desolate landscape.At the age of 30, the future Lord Fairhaven began to create his first home. Wanting to inspire and surprise visitors, he created a spectacular garden with planting for all seasons and a cosy house in which to entertain. Life revolved around horse racing and shooting, and guests enjoyed 1930s luxury."

A great place to visit, you could easily make it last a day and still not see everything. £15.00 a person isn't cheap but there is 100+ acres to look round and a historical mill as well as the abbey itself. A lovely garden and parkland which is easy to get round for anyone. The parkland has a large variety of trees which would even keep Tarzan happy. The restaurant/ tearoom is well priced and top notch. Definitely visit.
A lovely place to spend a day. The house is small but beautiful with staff very knowledgeable. The grounds are a delight with fantastic statues appearing at every turn. I bought a book from the excellent second hand bookshop and sat on one of the deckchairs on the lawns enjoying the sunshine. Very relaxing.
Just loved visiting this place. The 'Abbey' was amazing, with great pictures and tapestries inside, a fascinating library and lots of historic bathrooms, if you like something more then bedrooms! Sadly the mill was closed, but the walks and gardens made up in part for this. There was a plant shop,large second hand book shop, traditional National Trust shop, cafe and lots of places to sit. Would definitely visit again.
Visited many times since I am National trust member and one of my perennial favourite. All season brings something to see in this beautiful place. True that I never visited the house itself, because I love roaming around the estate and when I ended at the house it was usually already closed. Huge estate with nice taste of landscaping, and because of its size, hundreds and thousand of people can avoid each other and have a nice walk, picnic or just lay down and having sunbathe. Summertime there are more mobile facilities for a refreshment, toilets are behind the house and at the visitor centre. What I'm sorry about is the lack of the benches. There's a few of them, but far from each other and the estate is big enough to get tired in a certain age. They have illuminated light shows in winter time, too. Car park is huge and free, easy to access from A14.
Gorgeous! The fall colors were beautiful! The walks through the woods were serene and full of autumn colors. There were a lot of people when we pulled in but the forest walk was fast from it. However the house was decently packed and didn't allow for much casual strolling.Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo
Unfortunately the House was closed for renovations but the gardens and grounds are beautiful. There are lots of statues and a few interesting areas to discover in the grounds. Seats are provided to relax and admire the scenario. There is a garden shop, restaurant/cafe and a second hand bookshop. I will definitely be back when the House is open!
My favourite National Trust place in the area. The grounds are beautiful with so many places to hide away and relax in your own little world. Lovely flowerbeds and wonderful, old, huge trees. The children's play area is fantastic for the children with lots of new additions. My children love it especially all the swings. The restaurant has loads of seating and is very well run. The food has always been lovely and well presented. Lastly, all the staff I have ever spoken to there have been lovely and helpful.
Good amount of parking and facilities are well maintained. Worth the National Trust membership - get in for 'free'! Staff are friendly and knowledgeable. The house was dark, but this is due to looking after the paintings etc. LOTS of clocks... Gardens are well looked after, especially the rose collection. Fun for the kids and big kids to explore the forest adventure walk. Lode Mill was not open when we visited - would absolutely go back to look around it when it's open again.
Beautiful day out. Get a guide book and read a bit about what is in the house before you go in. In the room with the unusual ceiling there is a pearl pendant in a case on the mantlepiece that was worth more than the house when it was first purchased. We missed it but there are lots of small details like that that are fascinating. The guides are very good but it was a busy day and so we didn't get much of a commentary. The gardens are beautiful so will return when the roses and other flowers are in bloom.
Interesting house with great collection of clocks, paintings and curios. Lovely gardens and grounds. Different garden displays at various times of the year. We went when the roses were out which were stunning and the scent lovely. A lovely peaceful day wondering around the grounds.Visited onWeekday
