Reviews
Canons Ashby is a great National Trust visit with an interesting house and fabulous gardens. The staff are excellent and knowledgeable. We went on a glorious sunny Friday in March and really enjoyed it. Nice cafe with indoor and outdoor seating plus plenty of picnic space. The garden was laid out in a Victorian scheme and was looking great. The room guides were so good to talk too. Highly recommended.
An absolutely fabulous visit. The history attached to this place is unbelievable. From Canons that enjoyed to much ale to the deconstruction of a huge church to extend the farmhouse to become a Manor House. The location was one of the easiest to find and I was able to fit my motorhome in the car park. The volunteers were most informative and a delight to converse with. An absolute must to visit.
Ok so it's winter and the gardens were dormant, I would expect this place to look spectacular in the summer. The house has some interesting facts, ask about the pomegranate room when you visit. The additional buildings housing the shop and cafe area really add to this place visually and the cafe garden is beautiful to sit in. The church is a walk across to the opposite side of the road one of the first to be shut down by Henry VIII.
Beautiful manor house worth a visit if you care for history at all. Inside is very small, but very interesting. The volunteers who work inside are very knowledgeable and friendly, the house has an eerily familiar feeling, you can almost feel the fact it was a family home. We enjoyed our visit to the cafe, however it was very expensive. The gardens are beautiful, well maintained and presented, however they are very small. Highly recommend if you have an hour free one sunny afternoon, I would not recommend taking children to the house, but the gardens and grounds are great for a long walk with the kids.
Visited on 27 December 2019. I just drove back from my peak District holiday to London and thought to stop somewhere for a walk. To be honest it was rather a nightmare than a walk. The weather was winter-wet and the estate is a countryside estate, so better to be prepared with wellies. The house was closed, so I could only take a few pictures in the garden and then I tried to walk around in the trails which are on the map. But soon I realised, that I am not prepared for that and headed back to the house, where we can find toilets, shop and tea-room. I had hiking boots, but not wellies, and the mud was a few inches deep around everywhere. So even to visit the church on the side was a little mud wrestling. The garden is not too big and because the house was closed, so for me the whole visit wasn't more than an hour wandering. And another hour to brush and clean off the mud from myself, before I sit in the beige carpeted car... Probably a dry sunny spring or summer day would worth better...
Surprising mix of architecture from opulence to minimalist. The volunteers were on hand to talk about the house and estate's history and some of the interesting decor and artwork. The church delivered another surprise as its grand exterior belies the simplicity of the interior with bare walks and lack of icons and religious trappings. The gardens are laid out formally and make a pleasant stroll across all its different levels.
Beautiful house and gardens, perfect to enjoy the day learning about history and walking around amazing landscape. There's a nice tea room and a lovely National Trust shop.
Absolutely stunning! Lovely gardens, albeit parched due to the weather, but none the less well kept. Volunteers very informative in the House. Definitely worth a visit.
We found this a lovely place to visit, not the biggest of sites but well worth it, also means not too sread out for walking between areas. First stop was the cafe for a pot of tea, a hot chocolate, & 2 slices of victoria sponge, which came to just under £12, which isn't bad, we have paid more than that in other places. Awalk around the church was next which is just across the road, small but well worth a look, information inside on the history of it. Walk around the gardens which are well kept, plenty of different plants, flowers, & some veg, pretty much all has survived has survived the really hot weather we had. There is a book shop in the court yard of the entrance to house, lots of variety, most seem to be at charity shop prices, which you pay for across the way in the shop, so a browse in there at the same time, pretty much standard shop goods, pens/soap/hand cream/ toys for children/ books/ gardening bits & pieces. The house was fully open to look around very interesting, info all the way around, & all volunteers happy to give info as well. With stopping to eat our lunch we were there aout 3 hours, they also do a creepy crawlie walk for children, & plenty of small play things for children as well. It was well staffed by volunteers , i would recommend joining the national trust, you only need to do 3 or 4 visits to some of the places & you will have covered the cost of your membership, & you can also look out for places when you are on holiday.
