Beautiful grounds with lots of interesting artifacts and collectibles. Huge green area outside the house making the place very children-friendly. Would highly recommend joining the free private tour which you’ll find extremely insightful on the history of the house and Maggie Greville. Also, you’ll
I have been here a few times but not in a long while. Had the most lovely afternoon with the highlight being all Mrs Grenville's treasures on display which I had not seen before and the tour around the apartments where guests would have stayed & the tour guide was fabulous and informative 😍 with be
Lovely day out. We spent about 2.5 hours between the house, grounds and cafe but you could certainly spend more.
The house can be seen in 30-45 minutes the first five rooms are more of a museum with ceramics, artwork and other treasures but afterwards see time period rooms like a small kitchen, bea
This was our first time visiting Polesden Lacey. A really nice house to walk around with lots of interesting artifacts and collectibles. The room guides were all very friendly and knowledgeable.
The walks around the grounds were great and the planting was amazing too!
Food and wc facilities were
A lovely location and nicely laid out displays in the various rooms around the property. A one-way route is self guided, but there are room guides should you need them. Jazz was veing played on the lawn, which is a regular thing in the summer. Fantastic scone with the cream tea.
Polesdon Lacey is an amazing National Trust to visit.
There is plenty of parking, walking and children areas to play in.
The house is such a delight to walk around.
You can easily spend a day here.
The staff are brilliant and very knowledgeable.
Stunning place to visit, grounds and gardens are beautiful, the cafe is overpriced. So definitely take a picnic if you can . The staff were rude in the house, and the other staff were helpful . Playground was OK good for children upto about 10 years . Good day out for families and friends.
House is beautiful. Not huge like some. The library room was closed the day we attended but could look into the room. Staff are knowledgeable and friendly. Currently, at the time of writing, there are some building works to fix the clock, so there is scaffolding at the front of the building.
Visted here after a brief trip to Claremont gardens. Both fairly close to each other and the main entrance is well signposted from the main road.
The carpark is £4 per day or free for members. Seems popular here so a lot of people near the main entrance, shop and cafe.
Once through the moan entrance
Again, it is a very beautiful National trust place. Enjoyed the hose, garden, greenery as well as Music show. Volunteer dressed in Royal Way, which was amazing and beautiful. Will visit again
Polesden lacey is a beautiful place to visit it has a lot of history and beautiful scenery with a number of walk routes you can take a lovely restaurant and a coffee shop .staff very informative and friendly. I will definitely go back .
Love Polesden Lacey - a very beautiful building and surroundings. Regardless of the season, there’s something to tickle your fancy. That said, the rose gardens in summer and jazz music on Sundays is particularly pleasant.
Overall, the 1,400-acre area of Polesden Lacey estate is well worth a visit,
Great place to visit. Very interesting history of visitors to the house. Beautiful rose garden and lots of lovely walks around the grounds and adjoining woods. Good cafe and well stocked shop.
The Regency weekend retreat of the influential socialite Margaret Greville, a place where she entertained royalty, politicians and celebrities at lavish parties.
She was an avid collector of fine paintings, furniture, porcelain, silver and objets d'art including Cartier and Fabergé.
The future King
The Little People Big Dreams trail was good for our 8 year old grandchildren they loved it (along with the play area).
A very pleasant place to walk around, have a picnic with the little ones and learn a little history. There is also a space with a terrace where you can drink a coffee and eat an ice cream. I went with the family and everyone enjoyed it. The kids loved, as always, the playground.
A Regency house containing an amazing collection belonging to the last owner Mrs Greville. She was the illegitimate daughter of McEwan the brewery owner. She hosted and was friends with Royalty, providing a comfortable home full of many amazing paintings, furniture and porcelain. Lovely grounds whic
Really nice place for a day out. Beautiful gardens and views. House was really nice with some amazing historical antiques.
Polesden lacey is a national trust property and previously owned by Margaret Greville one of the richest and most divisive socialites in the earliest 20thc . The house itself is set in a beautiful landscape though the house looks a little tired from the outside. Inside the house is furnished and des
