Strawberry Hill was the summer house of Horace Walpole. The house is a good example of Georgian Gothic revival architecture. Horace was inspired by multiple buildings including Reims Cathedral. Horace was an avid collector but one of his successors sold most of it. Don’t miss the original William Hogarth portrait of Horace Walpole as a child who has recently been acquired by the house. There are an excellent team of people explaining a lot of facts about the house and Horace around the rooms.
We got there much later than our appointed time, and quite near closing. Despite that, a volunteer docent graciously agreed to show us around the house. I very much appreciate their accommodation to us. As for the house, it is very good for what it is: an example of an 18-19c home of a wealthy collector. You will find some very creative architecture and decor. If you are a student of Gothic literature, the house is a must-see.
I was pleasantly surprised by how quirky and intriguing this house is. All of the staff were very helpful eg. finding a space to store my wet umbrella and we were given anecdotes and insights by multiple different staff members as we wandered through. This added greatly to the experience, as I really had no idea of these details beforehand. I've never been anywhere quite like this house and it's well worth exploring and learning about it's history. I think the grounds would also be lovely with better weather. We went to the cafe had some very nice lunch, which included a vegan option for me. The space is light filled and a really nice spot to gaze out over the gardens.
Beautiful place! There was a volunteer in each room sharing information about the house and the room we were in. All the volunteers were really nice, especially the ladies who welcomed us on the entry, even though we were late for the time slot we’ve booked. The interiors were breathtaking! Definitely worth visiting. There’s a lovely cafe in site.
Came here for Mothers day, the place is a definite one off, not seen anything like it.. a visit inside is a must! The tour was v good, lots of information even pointed out how some of the art had been copied and the frames had been 3D printed to look exactly the same! If you like anything gothicy or arty this place is for you.. The stain glass windows were all just stunning. The cafe was OK, wish they had more options on the menu it was a bit pricey for what it was. Grounds were OK, wish there had been more flowers, it could be so pretty. Nice visit for 1-2 hrs
What a charming place filled with history and beauty. Each and one of the people that works there, are exceptional. Showing their passion for the place as you ‘re walking around each room. The kindness group ever. Highly recommending and thank you for this wonderful experience.
It’s Castle house that fascinates with good looks, decor, objects and intriguing history. Hidden gem in the Strawberry hill absolutely must see place . On week days is not very touristically overcrowded compared to the weekend but for us the best time to visit is rainy days because is quiet. Visiting on rainy days gives you the advantage to speak to the amazing team of golden age volunteers with enormous knowledge about the history true the century and they are happily answer any questions. Also the charming small cafe on rainy days always has available tables to sit and enjoy the beautiful views of the gardens . The gardens are smaller now compared to the original but there are well kept and have few wooden benches to sit and few view points. Family friendly but there are not toddlers playgrounds .In the area between the big old trees there is a three throne and “once upon a time “ sing is great starter for children storytelling history education Easy to find only 10 min walk from the train station . Free parking on the site . We don’t want to post too many photos because we feel that overexposing a place is taking away from the existing surprise when you see something for the first time ‼also we ask everyone posting a review please don’t over shear photos of so many details ‼ Enjoy and have fun on your visit and don’t forget to capture the happy moments
Photos and reviews drew me to visit this house and it is well worth seeing with your own eyes. I haven't seen another place like it! Once in, you're left to your own devices to work your way through the house. Each room has a steward to talk you through key points or features. I think we may have caught them on a bad day as we were left on our own quite a bit. However, everyone we did meet was friendly and it was nice to sit in the gardens with a coffee after the visit.
I visited Strawberry Hill on a school trip, and it was a really educational experience! The house itself is so interesting to look at and walk through, and our tour guide was very knowledgeable. The commute there from London was a bit rough, but it was a cool experience to see.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedYes
What a unique treasure this place is! The library and gallery are the breath-taking highlights but every room holds some interest. The visit felt more like a proper tour, as each room is introduced by a knowledgeable and friendly steward. In fact, all the staff are lovely and clearly care deeply about the place and returning it to its full glory. Bonus: the cafe and gardens are very relaxing the cafe’s red velvet cake is just heaven.
