Our first time at this wonderful National Trust house and it was all set up for Christmas. A mildly challenging walk, with great scenery brought us to this lovely house with very friendly guides and plenty to see inside. Highly recommend and we intend to return next summer.
Beautiful National Trust site. Excellent walks with stunning views. Dyrham Park house is just stunning with beautiful gardens, church, and ponds. You have video history, tea rooms, and a mobility bus for the elderly and disabled. Really helpful, informative staff. We would highly recommend.
Lovely house and gardens. Quite a walk from the car park but there is a shuttle bus if you don't want to walk. Costs more than other house and gardens but if you bring a picnic there are lots of shady or sunny spots to settle down for a few hours. Did see one pair of deer antlers shading under a tree but that was it as it was a hot day.
Dyrham Park is a mansion with a lovely collection of Dutch ceramics, Flemish tapestries, gilt leather walls, and a charming Victorian kitchen. Prams and large bags aren’t allowed inside the mansion, though there are free lockers available. I was allowed to bring my backpack since we had a newborn with us, but was asked to carry it in front - which made taking photos (and being in them) a bit awkward. The staff were friendly, though their presence was very noticeable; they seemed to monitor every move, which can feel a little intrusive at times. The gardens are pleasant and well maintained, though we didn’t spot any deer in the parkland, which was a bit of a shame. A stop at the small medieval church is worth it. One thing to plan ahead for: the mansion is quite a walk from the car park, and parking requires a separate payment. We struggled with this because there’s no mobile reception to pay via the app - it took ages and definitely dampened the mood. I’d recommend bringing coins just in case. There is a shuttle bus available if the walk feels too long, which is a helpful option. We had planned a picnic but left our things in the car while we explored first. Retrieving it later turned into a bit of a mission and cost us quite a bit of time so if you're planning a picnic, consider bringing it with you from the start.
If you like a good walk with stunning views this is your place. Great cafes and playground for the little ones. Clean toilets and huge car park. Magnificent house, garden and cute greenhouse. Church and its cemetery give the state an extra point. Challenge: find a secret door from the garden.
Lovely property with a mix of landscaped gardens that are dog free and open walks for the furry ones. Great views on the open walks. An interesting house which is worth a visit inside, lots of restoration in progress. This is the kind of property that would be good to come back to in different seasons.
Relaxed National Trust property. Good atmosphere. Pleasant cafe and shop lovely walk to the house and mobility bus if you can't manage it. The gardens are the best. I love going there. Orangerie interesting as well.
One of my favourite places to visit. Great for children of all ages, lots for younger children, and your older children can go off safely and have an adventure/mooch around! Beautiful and historic, lots of space, incredible views, friendly staff. Nice food and coffee. Fab shop. Lots of walking and hills! Shuttle bus for accessibility to the house area.
Lovely park and gardens. Parts of the house were being renovated while we were there, but the exhibition and tour of the house was still absolutely worth it. The volunteers of the National Trust are doing an excellent job and in every room there will be someone telling you a story about the house, the artworks on display, all with a lot of passion and attention to detail.
