The Grade I listed house was built mainly in the Neo-Renaissance style, replicating individual features of several French châteaux between 1874 and 1889 for Baron Ferdinand de Rothschild. Hippolyte Destailleur, one of the best-known foreign architects in 19th-century England, designed Waddesdon Manor. Guests can see Dutch and English paintings in the Morning Room. One of the highlights of the collection is the excellent musical automaton elephant. They have lots to keep you and the family entertained during your visit.

WADDESDON MANOR REVIEWS

Surely the best and grandest of all National Trust properties. Set in hundreds of acres of glorious gardens and countryside, the house and contents are truly stunning. Walks abound, many on good flat paths, although there are some fairly steep slopes and steps in certain areas. The car park is enormous but is a long way from the house and a shuttle bus (£2.50 even for members) is the best option. Everything at Waddesdon Manor is on a grand scale and don’t miss the treasury exhibits on the top floor or the fantastic aviary in the gardens. There is also a restaurant as well as coffee shops. This really is a stunning “must visit” place.

Beautiful house and grounds. Excellent guides and literature. Much to see. Timed ticket of 90minutes in the house means you have to move steadily to see all. Stairs to upper levels but lifts for less able on request. Cafe reasonably priced. Free lockers for bags if taking a picnic. Shuttle bus at £2.50 absolutely worth it departs regularly from the huge car park. Worth ore-booking your visit.

One of the most beautiful places! very beautiful gardens and nature! Definitely worth a visit to the castle itself, it is amazing! There is a big and very cool playground! There is a good shop with wine, souvenirs, delicious ice cream!

STOWE HOUSE PRESERVATION TRUST REVIEWS

The gardens are notable for the scale, design, size and the number of monuments set across the landscape, as well as for the fact they have been a tourist attraction for over 300 years. Many of the monuments in the property have their own additional Grade I listing along with the park. These include: the Corinthian Arch, the Temple of Venus, the Palladian Bridge, the Gothic Temple, the Temple of Ancient Virtue, the Temple of British Worthies, the Temple of Concord and Victory, the Queen's Temple, Doric Arch, the Oxford Bridge, amongst others. The gardens passed into the ownership of the National Trust in 1989, whilst Stowe House, the home of Stowe School, is under the care of the Stowe House Preservation Trust. The parkland surrounding the gardens is open 365 days a year.

This place is so beautiful, no matter how many times you visit there is always a hidden gem to discover. The ground are maintained and tidy. Plenty of picnic areas. Easy access for the less able and buggies. The only down side us a lack of toilets. Portable toilets are the entrance to the grounds and main toilets by the carpark. Plenty of free parking. Dogs also allowed on leads with ample bins.

Really cool place. We walked around 6 miles. Would recommend for walking a dog or just enjoying a picnic.... Also there were several shops and several coffee shops. There is a canteen at the entrance.

CLAYDON HOUSE REVIEWS

Hidden Gem. Amazing interiors compared to rather average exterior, well worth a tour of the house to see how the owner managed to bankrupt himself with extravagance.

Beautiful place, lots of space, the house inside is beautiful. The ladies who talk about the house and answer questions are very nice. You can eat something and drink coffee or have a picnic.

Lovely staff super decor and wonderful locations hidden gem of the National trust. Great interior design shop in the grounds.
