This is a “must see” stately home. Close to London the home overlooks a beautiful garden near the Thames. Every room is a work of art with absolutely breathtaking original pictures and a friendly attendant to answer all your questions. Not only is this an outstanding home to visit, it also has a nice cafe and a gift shop. The history is very interesting and you will be spellbound by the “goings on” of previous occupants including the first PM of England!
What a fabulous hidden treasure. The excellent volunteer guides know their subject well and are very engaging. Really well set out, easy to follow. The volunteers quilting was a bonus!
Was a really nice place to visit. Had a little cafe that reasonably priced, a shop to buy trinkets and paintings etc, and a second hand book store. The staff were really friendly, and they would help guide you around the building and give you some interesting facts about the creator of the house.
Favourite place on earth. History comes to life with this beautifully preserved house. Extremely knowledgable and helpful volunteers. Definitely worth a visit
This property was much smaller than l thought it would be ,but very beautiful inside.
We had a little wait to enter the house after we had bought our tickets, due to small groups shown around the rooms by guides.
There are guides in most of the rooms,and they each tell the story of the house and its past occupants and the part they played in our history.
The grounds are neatly laid out and although quite pretty,are slightly dissapointing.
Before you go, visit the lovely gift shop and enjoy a great cup of coffee and cake in the garden, from the cafe at the back of the property.
Many thanks to all the folk who work or volunteer there,we really loved our visit.

Nice visit for a Summer day. I had already been there but only outside, this time I took my time, leisurely enjoying a coffee and going through all divisions.
There was a guide in each room who were clearly passionate about the house and its history. They imparted a great deal of information to us which made the visit more interesting and appealing.
There is a café on site, just had a pastry but I believe they also have lunch options. Gardens were a bit barren, we had a picnic on the grass.
Toilets clean, in the house and parking lot. There are even lockers available (didn’t use them, though).
If you are looking for a bright house full of colour and details I recommend a visit. Took us a couple of hours to go through the divisions and afterwards we chilled outside, in the shade.

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.
