   Have been coming on and off for years and went for to the Christmas Lights for the first time this year. A lovely park to walk around any time of year, but the lights were spectacular. A really creative and thoughtful collection of interesting and captivating displays. It was a well organised event with friendly staff and a good selection of refreshments. A great place to visit any time of year.

   We had a fantastic day here exploring the gardens as the house is closed in the winter. We chose to go on a fantastic sunny day, so it showed the gardens at their best for this time of year. We were also lucky to see the Christmas lights being tested for the first evening, so got a bit of a free shower. A little disappointed in the restaurant offerings, but what we had was very nice, though a tad expensive for what it was. I think we will definitely be back to explore more when the weather gets better.

   Visited here for the Christmas light show. Just wow, absolutely beautiful. The light show was amazing. They provided food stalls, bars, toilet facilities, disabled facilities, slopes and flooring all along the route for wheelchair/rollator users, father christmas who looked like the traditional father christmas and not some cheap version. The adults and kids faces lit up when they saw him. Highly recommended, well worth the money and I will definitely be returning in spring summer to visit this beautiful place.

   We had such a lovely day at Dunham Massey! The park is beautiful and peaceful, perfect for a family walk. The deer are so friendly and it’s amazing to see them up close. The gardens are stunning, and the house is full of history and charm. There’s also a nice café with good coffee and cakes. Definitely recommend for a relaxing day out in nature!

   An internationally accessible haven of tranquility providing escape from the city. Dunham Massey is a brilliant green area south of Manchester, well conectes to Manchester airport. A range of flora and fauna make for a wonderful nature trail and forage, or a humble walk passively absorbing the natural landscape including forested areas and open pastures featuring abundant wildlife. On our visit most of the amenities were closed due to a met office weather warning, but this didn’t stop us exploring the vast grounds in peace. They often talk about calm before the storm, but rarely the calm during the storm- which is what we experienced due to the lack of fair weather crowds. I can imagine on more typical days tje cafes and visitors centre complete this experience with a warm drink or a hot soup after a brisk autumn stroll. I look forward to experiencing these on a future visit.

   Enjoyed our visit here very much. The house is amazing and the staff are friendly & very informative. Lots of safe parking spaces. Lovely gardens and parkland to walk around. It was great seeing the deer who are very tame and placid wandering around the park.

   Absolutely stunning place, beautiful house, lovely garden's. We saw some of the local dear too. Would definitely recommend. We had a national trust membership so we didn't have to pay to get in or in the gardens. Definitely going to go back and take a picnic next time. There is a gift shop and cafe which serves tea coffee etc

   Lovely place to chill and relax, get away from 'it all', been quiet often over the years, gardens so peaceful, house is amazing. Don't always see the Dears (depends on weather I think) but when it's nice, they come really close. Nice cafe too. Yes, wheelchair friendly. NT People so nice.

   Went to see the Winter gardens. Little too early as all the snowdrops weren't out just yet. Even so if you're looking for inspiration for winter garden plants there's so many different varieties to see. Lovely food in the cafe for lunch so had to go back for coffee and cake in the afternoon. Well worth the walk around the deer park too.

   Lovely place to walk around. The gardens were fantastic, especially with all the Christmas bits to see. Would have been better to see it lit up but we attended during the day. The deer park was lovely to walk around too.
