This is such a beautiful National Trust house. It's stunning inside and the views are also magnificent. If you watch any of the films that filmed at the house, you will even enjoy it more. And all volunteering staff was amazing, so patient and friendly. I highly recommend this venue! Don't miss the shell room. It's breathtaking! Parking can be tricky on nice day but worth the wait!
It's a lovely country estate. Ideal for dog walkers, families or for anyone who just want to go for a nice woodland walk or look around in the house which appeared on many movies including Downtown Abbey. The Christmas decoration in the house is also very lovely during the festive season. Weekends can be busy at the car park. The earlier you could go is the best. AM
Bit of a queue to get into car park due overflow field too wet to use. No problem though. Beautiful light draped trees leading to house. Stunning house with plenty of rooms open, many with great Christmas decorations. Busy but pleasant cafe, no problem getting a table. Many paths around the parkland. Well recommended.
Great visit here on Saturday afternoon... loads of overflow parking in field, still close to the entrance. We received a good welcome, and explanation of what was where, then lovely walks through the woods and surrounding area to house. The house itself is stunning... lovely helpful, chatty and knowledgeable staff... some lovely stories and plenty of passion when explaining. Only complaint was a bit of a queue at the cafe...
Been here before and didn't do the grounds today due to the wet weather, but the house looks brilliant all decorated for Christmas. Lots of rooms open thanks to the friendly and knowledgeable room guide volunteers. Excellent food and value for money in the cafe including gluten free options.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo
Had a really love afternoon here today. Lovely grounds and gardens. Very knowledgeable voluntary gardeners, happy to share advice and information. Looked around the beautiful house which has a fascinating history. Again made all the more enjoyable by the voluntary guides who share their enthusiasm for Basildon Park. Excellent National Trust property, well worth a visit.
So grateful for our National Trust memberships. Another lovely place to visit and once again fantastic volunteers on hand with founts of knowledge. The grounds are impeccably kept and there are 4 walks ranging from 20 mins to 2 hours through fields and woodland. Also don't be put off by the fairly plain exterior, inside the house is stunning. We loved it.
Recently visited this hidden gem with friends - honestly, we wanted to have a picnic somewhere nice, halfway between the two houses and Basildon Park popped up on the map Realised, when we arrived at the house, that multiple films and TV series have been filmed here The house is magnificent, the grounds are beautiful and if you are as lucky as we were; it’s the perfect spot for a picnic - would definitely visit again. I’ve given a 4* rating, only because I felt £15.00 per person is quite steep - although I’m hoping we can visit the national parks regularly, so we may invest in a couple of memberships.
This National Trust home and grounds are simply stunning. I felt transported back in time as I drove up to the car park. The house was closed on the day I visited to take down the Christmas decorations. This did not spoil the glorious views over the rolling English countryside. The trees cast impressive silhouettes against the blue winter sky. I recommend the tea room as well, a traditional tea made especially for the National Trust was delicious. I also enjoyed a fruit scone baked in the kitchen. There are gluten free and dairy free options for both food and drink.
A truly wonderful place to visit. The house is a mini palace having beautiful decor and paintings. The grass land is paradise for kids and pets and good for picnic. With clean toilet and good tea house serving tasty baked potatoes. You can spend a whole day there
