The sun came out for our visit to National Trust’s Mottisfont this weekend which is well worth a visit. It has beautiful grounds and there is something for everyone to enjoy. Mottisfont is very accessible. It’s conveniently located with vast, roomy car parking space, including a convenient disabled area. It is mostly on flat ground with even access and there is a golf buggy regularly on hand to help you skip the 10 minute stroll to the rose garden should you need the ride. Entry is pricey unless you’re a NT member and I have dropped a star due to the exorbitant prices in the numerous eateries which offer plenty of choice and inclusivity but have got greedy.. no slice of cake is worth £3.75. Definitely pack a picnic to enjoy; there are lots of green and beautiful areas and picnic tables scattered around. The house was sadly closed when we visited with the wet play area also out of bounds and there are a few areas in need of repair, most disappointing being their beautiful bridge across the stunning river in the grounds which will hopefully see some TLC soon. The walled gardens live up to their hype and are a horticulturist’s dream. There is a vast gift shop on site with beautiful offerings but the prices are eye watering! There is an outside play area for the kids and lots of places for running and exploring, including some challenges for the little ones to undertake. Ring ahead to check what is open before your visit to avoid disappointment but all in all a lovely day and well worth a few hours visit if you’re a member.
An early morning drive took us on our own little adventure to National Trust - Mottisfont. We were blessed with a sunny, albeit chilly day for our journey, and we were not disappointed! Taking care when walking around the establishment, due to icy conditions, we set for a walk around the gardens before the house opened at 11am. Unfortunately, due to the icy conditions, the river walk was closed. However, we still got to see the winter garden, the walled garden, and the gardens around the house itself. What we did see of the river was pretty and sitting on the banks in the warmer months; watching the water flow and listening to its calming sounds would be a treat! Inside, the house was lovely preserved and presented, displaying the house as it would have looked when the family lived there. The bedrooms were grand, particularly the guest bedroom! The views from each room covered the vast landscape across the gardens. The study was my favourite as the desk was set in fob of the large window looking out - not sure I would have got much work done myself! Upstairs, we were fortunate to see the artwork of Norman Thelwell, which was on loan, displayed on the walls in its glory. It was a great morning, and it would be great to visit again to see the changing landscape in the other UK seasons.
Best visited in the sunshine as the grounds are extensive. The walled garden is one of the best tended we have seen. From Spring time onward it will be a mass of colour. The house is interesting but the grounds are what this historic property is all about. There are lovely walks including beside the River Test.
Had a lovely time walking in the walled gardens on a summers evening with the late opening. Rest of the year is great too,beautiful grounds, facilities are clean, house is interesting and staff are always friendly. Great for young children as usually a trail or activities on and a brilliant climbing area.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo
Not quite the hottest day of the year, but with the river running through the grounds the temperature was a little reduced. The walled garden was beautiful & the lavender in full flower left a heady perfume. Do take time to stand by the river & watch the fish drift pass, it's all very relaxing.Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNot sure
Usually a really nice place to visit. Great for a picnic in the spring or a nice walk around - sometimes you can spot the fish playing in the river! But when we ventured into the house last time it felt like the lady was stalking us to make sure we didn’t steal anything or something - really did not feel welcome. But normally those on the front desk are really friendly and helpful. Loads of parking and very interesting exhibitions put on!
Beautiful gardens and lovely Riverside walk with the chance to feed trout along the way. Jude's ice cream will keep you going on a hot day and the cafes will keep you fed and watered on your walks. June is a great month to visit to smell the abundance of roses.
Let’s scene set…this is January. We are NT Members and ‘local’ so visit maybe up to a dozen times a year. Every time, in every season there is always something different to see in the gardens. Pretty ‘stark’ this time of the year…but very early signs of Spring. Without doubt there’s one constant…. the NT pasties best in the open air are always excellent .
National trust, well worth a visit, only the first floor was open when I went, as I wanted to see the Xmas decorations, wonderful. Guides were very informative, interesting and delight to talk to. There are 2 cafés on site ,a beautiful little second hand book shop,and generous grounds ,stunning in the autumn Highly recommend.
Got in for 'free' with a newspaper voucher. Nice grounds, obviously not everything is out yet as its only just turned spring. Went and looked at the exhibition which was interesting. Not sure the full price would be worth it, but it was nice nonetheless. Staff all lovely.Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo
