   A wonderful visit to Speke Hall. The volunteers were extremely knowledgeable and very helpful, always happy to share interesting details about the history of the house and grounds. All the staff we encountered were lovely and friendly, creating a welcoming atmosphere throughout the visit. It was a pleasure to explore such a beautiful and historic place with such an engaged and approachable team. Highly recommended.

   Very nice house and there are some pleasent walks. I thought the gardens were a little worse for wear. The nature trail was partly broken. Just tbpught it was a bit tired.

   Lovely little gem at the end of Liverpool airport runway and on the Mersey estuary.. A Tutor property, well maintained, with some victorian influence. Plenty of woodland walks, nice settings and nice cafè/resturant serving scouse. Play area, and maze close together. Nice little walled garden. There is Acess to the coastal path the goes along the estuary... but sometimes the gate may be locked. Well worth a visit

   An amazing example of a Tudor Hall in all its splendour, transforming you back to a bygone age and the reign of Elizabeth I. What must be unique are the Yew trees (Adam and Eve) in the central courtyard, which the Hall surrounds. They are believed to pre date the building itself! Who would have thought hundreds of years later, their imposing size would fill the space so wonderfully ! Take the time to marvel at the wooden architecture, both inside and out and the history of this fascinating building, it really is special! If walking is your thing, there is the woodland and trails to take, all easily accessible, with children, buggy’s and for dogs. Granted the grounds are not on the scale of other larger National Trust Estates, but still equally as enjoyable.

   Plenty to see and do! Stroll around the extensive gardens, get lost in the maze, play areas for children and not forgetting the house to explore. Lovely rooms in the house, very well maintained with friendly staff situated in many rooms. Would recommend visiting on a weekday if you can as it does get quite busy on a weekend with some queues to go into the first few rooms. Interesting displays and so much detail has been put in so don't miss that!

   Fabulous afternoon spent wandering around the grounds and the Tudor Manor House. Super friendly and knowledgeable staff sharing their insights enthusiastically in every room. We thoroughly enjoyed listening and talking to the lovely gentleman playing the lute in the Great Hall. The food in the restaurant, although a little pricey, was delicious and served really quickly. Also a fantastic spot to watch the airplanes taking off from the airport runway nearby. Lots of play areas and walking trails for the younger children and lots of great photo opportunities. Highly recommended.

   We really enjoyed our visit to the house and gardens. There is a great play area and a fun maze that we got lost in! The facilities are great. The cafe provides all kinds of foods and drink but can be very busy at peak times. We took the scenic walk towards the beach and stopped to look at the planes taking off nearby. Plenty of parking and easy to access. The house was interesting and plenty of staff around to talk to. We waited to get into the house but not for too long. Overall a great day out for all the family and would highly recommend.

   Beautiful grounds right next to the airport and the river. A good place for a short or medium walk. Very busy at the weekend. There is a maze and lovely kitchen garden. Great to spend time in the grounds and looking around Speke Hall itself is a bonus. Friendly guides in each room that engaged with the visiting children. The cafe is busy and the cream scones are home made and delicious. All in all a great day out

   Excellent day out. The hall is very interesting and staff are friendly and knowledgeable. Very pleasant grounds to stroll around and good ice cream! If there's a queue at the ice cream outlet near the entrance try the other one round the corner from the little cafe near the house. We went on the Tudor weekend and staff dressed medieval and did a dance in the garden. There was a medieval fair on the day we went too. Highly recommend.
