Fantastic house, currently setup for Christmas, various rooms decorated with a festive musical theme, really beautiful setting. The Christmas Market in the garden was excellent, and the lights and music shows were amazing
Lovely place as many describe it, brilliant and fairly big play area for kids, grounds are spectacular, free car park and excellent bus service, biggest let down for us was the quality of the food in cafe and the price of it, I'd advise to take food with you.
The amazingly sumptuous home of the Rothschilds. Huge grounds. Well worth a visit.
Lovely grounds but there for Christmas Markets which wasn't great, completed in 1hr
Waddesdon is full of treasures inside the house and in the extensive grounds. Modern sculpture joins classic pieces and there are new things to do and see in every season. The Christmas experience both inside the house and out in the grounds was just magical.
Had an excellent day at the Chilli Fest. Car parking, transfer bus and staff all very well organised.
Houses of rich dead people don't do it for me, but the grounds are pleasant - especially if you walk up from the village as you can then get in without the bothersome business of actually paying.
Love Waddesdon and though it was good to see it open and the staff were nice , it was disappointing to see the lack of colour and care. Especially the rose garden was in a sad state. Hopefully the normal high standard will return.
Lots of hand sanitizer around.
No bus service so a tough walk if you have little people.
Great day, really interesting place. A lovely day out. Loved both the gardens and the inside of the mansion
It's a must to be seen in any weather the house is full of sights.
House is closed, but coffee open, and can sit in the grounds, which are large and expansive. Great views lovely house , and when we went , great weather. Long walk up to the house , worth booking the bus if you have small children
Christmas market full of stalls, will no doubt visit house in the summer, Covid permitting
Lovely place to visit. Bus from the car park works well but also a pleasant walk. If you want to picnic, you can leave it at the information office while you tour the house
Magnificent NT house of Lord Rothschid. Grounds are superb as well.
Amazing place, it's third time we have been this year. My three year old daughter love it, from the bus ride up to the house to the very popular playground.
Really very special even just going around the gardens. You do need to be aware of the long walk from the car park although the shuttle bus service is due to start at end of July. There is a lot of ups and downs, but the grounds are wonderful to behold. Lunch type food, drinks and ice reams available.
Lighting brilliant should look at one way system around the lights
Always a lovely place to visit with family. Either take a bus or go for a 20min walk to the Manor. Beautiful scenery and lovely staff. Great for picnics in the very picturesque gardens.
Well organised and good variety of stalls in the Christmas market. Beautiful light display in the gardens. Large selection of food on offer.
Most amazing Manor house! Especially the grounds and garden are great. We stayed an entire week in the area and came back every single day to visit the exhibition and to have tea & scones in the restaurant.
Beautiful place, lovely manicured gardens, stunning interiors. Beautiful rare porcelain collections you won't see anywhere else. My jaw dropped too many times to number! The Stables is a good place to eat and the service is excellent. The ice creams next door are brilliant too!
Visited the Christmas market and had a fabulous time. Great selection of stalls selling good quality items. Day was made particularly special by the staff / volunteers who went out of their way to make it a memorable visit. The light show was spectacular. Thank you so much Waddesdon! Happy Christmas.
Beautiful outdoors to safely meet our son and his wife half way between us. Cafe outdoors to buy coffee and sit on grass
We come here annually for the Christmas tour of the house, and this time stayed late for the lights show which was truly magical. A little pricey but worth splashing out for an enchanting day out for the family. (Also had a yummy lunch at the stables)
Owned by the rothchilds / national trust this place is a must visit location especially if you are not from the UK. Stunning gardens and an expansive amount of the house open to the public.make it a whole day out for the family. Exhibits in the house are well curated and on certain days of the year they hold great events such chilli festivals and Christmas markets etc which add even more things to do. As a family we go here at least 3 times a year.
Go whilst the Christmas markets are on - a great variety of high quality stalls. The light displays are amazing and well worth a visit.
Enjoy the wide sloping grounds for a walk, and the cafe for scones and tea too. French architecture, I believe.
Beautiful ,& brilliant place to visit all year round.
Great place to visit during the Christmas season, and will definitely be visiting again
Stunning place, opulent, interesting and informative.
Loved it. Fabulous Christmas decorations in the house and wonderful light displays in the grounds. A perfect run up to Christmas. Good facilities and a great day out.
A neo-renaissance palace, so a little bit too artificial for my taste. Every detail is a perfect work of art and there is a huge eclectic collection. Their restaurant has very good chefs with seasonal menu.
There are more gardens with different style, and every year you can see special and very creative modern art installations. It was different every time when I visited there.
Excellent place to get married but I will not do it again xx
Awesome. Fantastic architecture and stunning grounds! Lucky to catch Nick Knights rose exhibition too. Fell in love with some of the birds in the aviary. Loved it! Great day out!
A must go-to place and a return visit to take everything in. What a dynasty Rothschild were and still are.
Fabulous place for a day out, so much history and character. Despite the rain the day was fantastic with so much to see and do. Pre booking is essential but allows you to have the place pretty much to yourself. There is a great little cafe where you can sit under cover.
Beautiful house and grounds. Great park for the kids too. Highly recommended for a day out
I have lived in Aylesbury for five years now and have only just visited this place. Couldn't put into words exactly how much I love this place! From the friendly desk staff to the chipper bus driver to the amazing grounds. Perfect for a warm sunny day
Beautiful architecture and grounds. You do need to pre book tickets to enter the house as entry is limited. The gardens are really beautiful and there are plenty of places to grab refreshments. It's been well organised too, shuttle buses every five minutes from the car park to the house and grounds.
Marvellous French style National Trust building. Note the car park is now some distance away from the property, either walk for 15 minutes or take the courtesy bus.
Mind blowing. Waddeson Manor really is a one off. Both the exterior and interiors are exceptional. Every item in the house is world class and of museum quality. The particular guide I kept meeting was not just friendly but very knowledgeable giving s first class talk about wines. It was an overcast day when I visited and I spent 4 hours looking around the house and wine cellar. Everything is well done including the AV presentation in the Power Room. Brilliant visit.
Beautiful house and the gardens are equally stunning. They often have activities on for kids and this time it was great halloween half term entertainment. And they are constantly evolving, we go quite often and something has always been improved. The ice cream shop that replaced the sweet and gift shop is a particular favourite, the ice creams are delicious!
Really great place for kids and family. Beautiful gardens and lots to do for children.
A beautiful national trust, that didn't feel like your typical estate in the way it was managed.The gardens were well kept and varied, so the walks were beautiful. Please note that house requires pre booking, we did this online and it's well worth doing as it was in excellent condition, with an amazing collection of artifacts.
Great house to visit, house is in a lovely condition.
Beautiful place.
Christmas market has a great range.
Very helpful staff
Great day out. Loads for children to do too. Love that the open spaces are open for all to enjoy and children encouraged to play games due to the free loan out of toys. Needs more than one visit to fully appreciate. Although a bit pricey, had a lovely lunch at the cafe with tasty food and wonderful staff.
Great place to visit for two or three hours. Went whilst the Christmas market was on which had a wonderful selection of food and drink.
Fantastic place to visit. The house is decorated beautifully at Christmas and the Christmas market is brilliant.
It is the must see place! Plenty of parking space. Book your house visit in advance!
Very good COVID measures. Kids had so much fun playing with conkers, leaves, and pine cones, as well as the playground.
The manor looks amazing and the grounds are kept well. Plenty of walk to do and plenty of things for kids to do
great place to take the kids and explore the grounds
Great walks house and cellar. Spend at least 2 or 3 hours here. Historic home to the Rothchild's.
Nice place to visit good gardens, nice restaurants and cafe's to eat in.
Beautiful house & garden. So many beautiful works of art & priceless artifacts that you can't really take it all in.
Very nice property, interesting exhibition, delicious Scoones :)
One of our favourite places. Perfect for afternoon escapade with child.
It's just great to spend time in this glorious place, house is not open at the moment but its lovely to explore the grounds on a nice sunny day
Plenty of open space to walk around with well kept gardens, aviary and house. Play park areas for young children and normally some activities happening in the Stables area. Main problem seems to be massive overcrowding in the relatively few eating places, particularly in the Stables restaurant (which is otherwise decent) when it's busy leading to long waits. The 'posher' restaurant near the house is pricey and can be very slow (took over 20 mins to bring 7 coffees over even when it was quiet). Take a picnic if you want to avoid the hassle.
Had a lovely day out at Waddesdon Manor. My son loved the wooded play area and ice-cream
Stunning Manor and grounds. Visited for the obligatory Xmas lights and it is beautiful and creative and fantastic value for money
Waddesdon manor is stunning, so much to see, the gardens are beautifully kept, can't wait to ho back
Had a lovely walk and the Manor have things well set out with loads of signs for keeping your distance but sadly some people just don't have a clue about leaving space and letting people pass safely. We stopped and sat on a seat for a while and four people with 2 dogs just walk past very close to us they could have moved to the other side of the path but didn't bother not a clue. Still enjoyed our walk just not the inconsiderate people
Beautiful place to visit highly reccomend for a day out
