Nunnington Hall

Charming house with 2 main floors and an attic which often houses limited exhibitions. Well maintained interiors and restored tapestries, along with info about the various occupants over the centuries. All staff and volunteers seemed very friendly, helpful and approachable. The tea room and book shop are unusually situated inside the main house rather than in outbuildings. Food selection is slightly limited although was nice. The gardens are fairly small compared to many NT houses, but photogenic and graced with the presence of a couple of peacocks strutting around. A big theme on bug hotels and nature-friendly gardening, with activities to get children interested too.

Extremely friendly staff, offering interesting history and info about the rooms if asked. Beautiful manor house with a maze of rooms due to the many different ages of the building. I loved the cushions everywhere printed with quotations from Mrs Fife and the little game to guess the historical answers. The gardens were beautiful and great to be able to sit in deck chair or even play croquet! Well done for being very innovative! The little model rooms were also absolutely incredible.

Well we were told this was one of the trusts smaller properties ... but it still took us over 2 hours to look round the house and beautiful gardens. One of those 'good feel ' places. 3 floors mixing very very old 1600s to relatively modern 70s. Lots of well furnished rooms, paintings, amazing 'miniature' rooms and wooden panelling. Informative guides. Outside coffees/cakes. Deck chairs, childrens games, veg plot and currently beautiful purple tulips flowering. Second hand, well managed, book room. Parking very close to the house, plenty of large vehicle places. We really enjoyed this house.

Lovely place to visit. So much history to this place very interesting. Pretty grounds too, which had been set up for lawn games great for kids. Cafe was lovely little more food options then normal NT places, also the option to sit in the garden by the river to eat which was very relaxing. The doll house collection was a real high point for me so much detail, definitely a must see!!

The best NT site we’ve ever been to. Very friendly staff, wonderful history, we’ll laid out, great food. The best aspect are the gardens, we went today, May 24 2022, and the gardens were immaculate: well groomed grass, some wonderful flowered areas but the best part was the wild garden areas. Simply stunning visits. Thanks NT

The mansion brims with history. Fearless peacocks were roaming in the garden during our visit. We were delighted to get up close to these regal creatures and admire their vibrant plumage. It was a magnificent experience. Equally enjoyed was the Rachel Dein exhibition showcasing her beautiful and inspiring work.

Lots to do at this small, picturesque property. Kids loved the games on the lawn and there's a little play area tucked away in the garden turn left on the way to the far Gaye opposite the house. The cafe and tea room are good quality and you can sit in reclining chairs looking out on the river there's apparently an otter on the 8 mile stretch of river. Three peacocks make their presence felt! The house is a throwback, which is perhaps part of the point, but the exhibits on the third floors are lovely.

Gorgeous! Small but perfectly formed country house, in a beautiful setting of 9 acres on the banks of the R. Rye. The manor dates from the 1300s whilst the oldest part of the house is 1500s. There are lots of fascinating historical artefacts and insights and you get a real feel of what it must have been like to live here, over the centuries, even though there was extensive refurbishment and modernisation in the 1920s. The gardens are simply glorious, with the most wonderful herbaceous borders I have ever seen. So many beautiful flowers, attracting thousands of butterflies and bees. A lovely tea garden as well, with free ranging peacocks clearing up the crumbs.

This was our first visit to Nunnington Hall and it was very pleasant. The kids enjoyed the Easter trail / activities. The hall itself is pleasant and we had enjoyable wonder around. There is a good selection of pre-loved books to buy and a dedicated children's section on the top floor. Would recommend and we'll definitely be visiting again

This is a small house and garden but it is well worth a visit. Originally built in the Tudor period the house was renovated twice, the last time being in the 1920s. The majority of the house is open to explore and as well as the furnished rooms there are miniature rooms and floral art on display. The gardens are compact and can be explored in a very short time. The staff are friendly and there is a good choice of food in the cafe which is waitress service. Allow about two hours for a visit.
