We really enjoyed visiting Lanhydrock House while on a Princess cruise. The home has all of the sights associated with movies about wealthy British families around 1900 - beautiful entry rooms, bedrooms, large kitchens, large halls where parties could be held, servants quarters, stone walls, gardens, etc. There were many personal items from the owners that made it seem even...

Interesting house with a superb kitchen to see. Staff were welcoming and items such as umbrellas to borrow showed forethought about the vagaries of the English weather! I didn't get a chance to explore the gardens because of my time limits but what little I saw was well looked after and at certain times of the year must be stunning.... More

Its quite a walk from the carpark to the house - especially if its raining - and uphill on the way back. But its worth it. The house is spectacular and following a disasterous fire, much was rebuilt in early Vioctorian times. As a result there is interesting technology and you can really feel what it would have been like... More

Visited on an appalling day (weatherwise). An abundance of golf umbrellas at the ticket office were taken up by most visitors and conveniently places to leave them at the entrance, restaurant and cafe made their use simple. There was a queue for the house but only because they allow 10 in at a time. It was explained that this was... More

Beautiful house that gives a tour of servants quarters and kitchen areas along with rooms of the estate owners. Lovely gardens and grounds.

Fabulous gardens and a gorgeous house, not the most fantastic NT house but it is full of superb period pieces and incredibly helpful staff who really made the place come alive. Amazing kitchens and servants quarters as well as the 'upstairs' rooms. We gave ourselves 3 hours and it wasn't nearly long enough to do the grounds justice as well... More

The history of the house is brought to life through the information given about the people who lived in each room including both the family who owned it and the servants. There are many rooms to see and these include the kitchen and servants living areas. The gardens are lovely and I was fortunate to see the magnolias. I had... More

There is so much to see in the house. We especially enjoyed the extensive kitchens and servant quarters. It gave great insight into the lives of the people who lived there. The gardens were also beautiful with all of the spring flowers. One if my favourite National Trust properties.

Visited the Lanhydrock House and Gardens recently and was pleasantly surprised. Very interesting with lots of information - but not an overload. Sometimes I find these sort of houses can be monotonous but this one really is good with lots of different information on the family that lived there and their staff. All rooms were a true to life likeness... More
