jodhpur Review

Excellent. But the oldest building was not open to the public the day I went. A bit of a disappointment.

Very interesting place & such knowledgeable & friendly staff

Went to a wedding in January the main hall was cold & toilets were outside the building especially the disabled toilet. The ladies toilets were a fair bit of walk in freezing weather

Fantastic Place. Great food beautiful shops and everyone is welcome. Christmas is amazing here.

Always a good walk around Hatfield House in the sun

This is an amazing piece of history. Unfortunately, the House was closed on Bank Holiday! I would certainly like to go back and visit the main house as well.

Love the history of the place, good restaurant and service. Really miss the main shop and the nik naks it is now the gun shop.

What a lovely surrounding ' s and buildings wish I owned it.

Beautiful historic house in acres of land. Amazing.

The guides are very friendly and knowledgeable. Wow what a house. Beautiful and the paintings are amazing.

Great place to visit fantastic walks for dogs and owners

Lovely place to spend a day out.
The park is massive and - as most of the people walking around the main building - really peaceful and quiet, the garden is very nice too

Absolutely fabulous venue for a wedding.
My Daughter had her wedding at the Old Palace.The food was fantastic, The staff were Fantastic. Everything worked out great and I thank all of your staff for making the day a great one. xxxx

Very nice period house and gardens....is worth the visit...check the prices first ..not cheap

Went to folk by the oak. What a great festival! Brilliant bands, lots of activities and things to see and finished with a fantastic firework display. Food and drink were also very reasonably priced although it encouraged people to bring their own picnic. Lots to do for all ages but defiantly a family friendly event and well worth the ticket price!

Beautiful house and gardens, worth a visit. Christmas fair was great!

Love Hatfield house, a lot on offer for all to enjoy all year round

I come here for various outdoor concerts that are held in the gorounds of Hatfield house and have always had a fantastic evening. I can't comment on Hatfield house itself as I have never been.

Great place. BEAUTIFUL gardens and row of trees all around. The gardens on the side and behind are simply awesome .

Lovely grounds, clean. Friendly staff.
The cafe only dose takeaway at the moment, so some outside seating would be helpful.

Amazing place with all ways something going on from fete's to huge music concerts.

Great place to visit. Historical interest and incredible paintings.

Went to the annual craft fair lots to see didn't buy as much as usual

We visited Hatfield House recently, albeit the house itself isn't actually open so we wondered the grounds and gardens.

On arrival there were plenty of people guiding you to parking spaces, and then its a short walk to the entrance. The cafe and other facilities are all located in the entrance area, so ensure you pop to loo before going in!

With two small children we decided to do the medium woodland walk, not completely pushchair friendly but wasn't exactly expecting it to be. Apart from the lake (which was awesome) I don't think there was anything particular special about the walk. We walked back towards the house (via an ice cream). The kids really enjoyed running round the gardens trying to get lost. Not all the gardens are open to view but the ones we saw were nice.

If you decide to go, then take a picnic with you and make a few hours out of your wonder - be prepared to pay the 'heritage venue' prices if you decide to eat / drink from cafe and / or ice cream van.

A good day out. We only did the grounds this time but having been in the house, i can recommend.

lovely parkland and if you want to go into the house it is worth doing the tour. When you look at the front of the house you should recognise it from lots of big films and TV shows.

Didn't visit the house but went to a French market in the grounds. Very disappointing. Not really very much there and what was there was hugely overpriced. Had expected a large selection of French foods but there were few food stalls. Will not be going again.

Great example of British history very knowledgeable staff

Amazing house and formal gardens. Rich history, and full of some really stunning rooms and unique artifacts

Watched open air cinema, atmosphere was wonderful and staff were so professional during these trying times.

One of the most beautiful place I have been in English worth every penny

Gardens are magnificent. Significance of the place isn't to be underestimated.

Great staff and beautiful house! Definitely worth the extra admission

Went here to work at the festival and it was very disappointing

Great day out and the ticket lets you back in to the park for free until the season ends (September)

Great country house. Great estate. Lovely for the whole family

Lovely day out to see the beautiful Hatfield House architecture. Worth the visit especially on a summers day

had a lovely time at the living crafts show. will be going again to expolre the rest of the house and grounds

Great to let little ones run free and safely at the farm. Live the hand washing stations

Beautiful house and beautiful grounds only moments outside of London. Perfect for a day out

Brilliant house where Queen Elizabeth the First lived.
Lots of history.
Fantastic grounds, garden's and shops.

Lovely gorgeous loads of beautiful walking areas. Next time we will do the house

A lovely, historical afternoon out. Beautiful house and gardens. Friendly, knowledgeable guides. Closes from end of September until spring

Fantastic family day out. Even in the rain. (Take a brolly)

Hatfield house has incredible park grounds and is great for dog walking. Once you have bought entry into them you get to use it over and over again, though you will need to buy a new ticket to access the main house each time. The house has been used in tones of films, most recently The Favourite.

Hatfield house also often hosts events,this weekend gone was a huge crafts fair.

Fantastic grounds for exploring. Formal gardens, lake, woodland etc. Great for picnics. A season ticket lets you in from Easter till the end of September which is great value.

Very small compared to previous shows we have been to for the price we paid today for 4 adults and 4 children.

One of the places in this world I most connect with--such great history, such a place of monumental change, and just a lovely example of multiple architecture styles. A delightful place for a stroll, for thinking, and for first seeing Haley's Comet!

Stunning Tudor residence - the great Hall in particular was fascinating. The front facade has a huge metal water feature in front of it which seems very out of place. If you visit read up beforehand as there is no audio guide or free tours.

A fabulous period property in the Hertfordshire countryside. Well maintained gardens with plentiful parking and a well curated gift shop, monthly farmers market and retail stores. High quality food and drink available in the Stables.

400 years of English heritage and fine gardens, extensive woodland walks.

Stunning gardens and the experience aided by amazing weather.

Tickets valid for the season so we'll be going back again.

Everything closed on a Sunday. Bizarre. Not even somewhere to buy a coffee or juice.

Thrilled to have visited this house at long last. I was not disappointed so much to look at . The staff in each room were absolutely brilliant we learnt so much that you don't read about on line. Would highly recommend you visit.

Lovely house in beautiful grounds. Very interesting

Lovely day here

I have edited and gone down to 3 stars as the best shop in stable yard has now gone. Every visit. We would go gift shop anyone that s been will know the shop I mean. Toys/gifts/post cards/ everything. This has now been replaced by a leather and gun store. What am I going to buy in there. Nothing. Really disappointed that you ve taken away real family visitor based store. The staff where always amazing. And even buying post card could tell you meaning and back ground to it. I have no need for 1800 shot guns or leather hats.

Very pleasant country house. Sandwiches expensive. Best bring a picnic

Wonderful, crammed full of history. The staff are truly exceptional, considerate and knowledgeable. Ken, Dermot, Niel and Penny are only too happy to answer any questions you have about the house and history in general it seems. When Covid is over and the main house is open we will be back for another visit and another walk in the woods.

It's a wonderful piece of artwork.... Worth to visit... There's a great park around..
