A beautiful medieval moated Manor House, with a lot of history. It’s origins started in 1066. Being a NT member it was free for me to enter. General admission prices however, are still reasonable. Stunning grounds with plenty of nice areas to sit and have a picnic before or after exploring the house and grounds. Inside the house is beautiful with many original features including priest hides and the library has all original books. We were informed by one of the very helpful guides that they have conservators in to check conditions of the books. The guides are very knowledgeable helpful. The rooms are very grand and again still maintained a lot of original furniture and fittings. There is an on-site car park, a cafe/ restaurant and toilets on site too. It has the usual gift shop, which at most of these places I think are very over priced. I highly recommend a visit.
Absolutely loved this place. Moated house. Beautiful interior, full to the brim, and amazing wood panelled rooms. Huge history attached. Guides so very helpful, and telling interesting stories. A wonderful warm feel to this house, rooms open upstairs and downstairs. We enjoyed walking the grounds/lake etc. Squirrels, ducks ... even a little nut hatch flying in the woodland area. Lots of school children enjoying the grounds, which was good to see. Very much enjoyed this visit.
Great place to visit. Free car parking. Friendly informative staff who have great stories to tell in each room. House is very old and interesting. Lovely gardens. House has most with geese who all want to share your lunch. We had a give star visit.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo
This National Trust property was such a nice surprise! It was busy, but we were able to get the timed house tickets upon arrival for 35 minutes later. In the house, do recommend taking a look at the timeline in the first room as gives a brief history not found later on. The house was an absolute historic gem - you see about 10 rooms across 2 floors, with beautiful timber, ornate fireplaces, artwork, helpful volunteers. It was decorated for Christmas when we were there, and included tasteful festive trees and decor, interesting Christmas facts in each room, and an activity for kids to spot the snowmen. There is ample parking, a good used bookshop, interesting shop, and the temporary toilets in place were small but clean. Staff was very friendly and helpful throughout - getting tickets, in restaurant, bookshop, and throughout the house.
Our 2nd visit to BC after quite a few years, thought we’d come and have a look at the Christmas decor. Always a lovely visit, we bought our two dogs and did some of the estate walk public right of way etc up passed the church and through a gate off the lane to the right and just go straight. A lovely walk to give them some exercise. Then popped into the house whilst they both had a nap in the car. Had a hot drink after on way out. Note the toilets are closed, being re-furnished but they do have super posh temporary ones just in front of the house behind the book store. Don’t be put off the are really nice inside. Great guides in the house, 2 x priest holes. Check out the beautiful library which houses very old books that did belong to and were read by the family of Baddesley we were told. A fantastic looking wine cellar just off the main arched entrance. We didn’t walk around the main grounds today as we wanted to visit some other nearby places and have lunch but BC again didn’t disappoint. Shame the church wasn’t open ? No dogs allowed passed the visitor reception or house or inner gardens, shame you can’t at least take them in a lead around the outside of the house but hey ho, we made do.
Beautiful house, filled with history! The volunteers were lovely, offered us a lot of information about the property. They are doing an amazing job at maintaining the gardens and the shop. Had a great experience here! PS: in each room you'll find a beautiful bouquet of flowers!
It is a lovely quaint location to go and visit. House is smaller than other locations, but a nice walk around the grounds would imagine it's full of colour when in full bloom in the Gardens. Coffee shop on site is reasonable with a nice court yard to sit in. Really enjoyed our new years day walk.
Absolutely fantastic place to visit. The lady who gave us the introduction before we went in the house gave a very informative but brief talk on the history of the house. The gardens are beautifully looked after, as is the kitchen garden. Shop staff are very friendly and the local plants for sale are worth looking at. Definitely worth a visit, and better if you're a national trust member!!
Baddesley Clinton is probably one of my favourite National Trust properties that we have discovered in quite some time. We have been NT members for the past 7 years or so, and have both recently entered our 30's, and on our rare trips away or days off, we like to venture to random properties, or we will find one to stop off at to break up long journeys when travelling. Baddesley Clinton was brilliant! Not the largest of properties, however it is steeped in history. Usually NT properties are large and have grand pasts with a history of large riches passing through over the centuries, however, the house, an expanded Manor house, was fascinating to learn about its long history and how each owner added to its current design and look. The volunteers and staff were highly knowledgeable about its features and history, and inspired me to conduct my own further reading and research into the property upon returning home. I adored this place, and might find myself returning when passing through again.
Glorious place. Wisteria at it's best. Lovely gardens and walk round lake. Hpuse packed with history and lovely helpful guides. Good well stocked shop. Good cafe to eat in or out in courtyard. Good place picnics out on park. Weekday busy but was lovely weatherVisited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo
