We spent a half day here which was worthwhile. The house was big and had lots of history in it. Nice walks, views and gardens. You can have your lunch as there are many benches. Plenty of public toilets available. It's advisable to bring your own lunch and drinks as the cafes were always so busy.
Beautiful house and gardens. Very great for photographers and walkers. Very colourful in the autumn due to the large amount of trees near the lake. Definitely one of the best National Trust sites in NI!
What a wonderful visit we had at the National Trust property at Mount Stewart. Most of this beautiful stately home was open for public viewing. An amazing glimpse at how the aristocracy lived their lives. The house, gardens, lake and walks were just superb. Even in late summer the gardens were beautiful. Highly recommended visit.
One of the most impressive gardens I have seen at a National Trust property.
There seems to be adequate parking here. I managed to find a shaded spot in the first one.
You walk through the start of the garden past the coach house exhibit to reach the visitor reception.
The house is just beyond this at the start of the lake walk.
The volunteers in the house were knowledgeable and friendly. Lots of interesting artifacts to look at and information boards to read.
After that I took a path following the lake perimeter. The variety of plants is stunning and very well maintained.
I then visited the gardens to the rear and side of the house which are spectacular.
I only had the chance to spend a couple of hours here due to my schedule. You could easily spend all day here if you had time for a picnic.
Beautiful place and beautiful park. Would recommend entering the main house as well. A lot to see inside the main building. Many very important pieces of history that are worth seeing. Gorgeous place overall. The most beautiful National Trust location I’ve seen so far.
Very dog friendly and people friendly too. So many hidden gems on the expensive and well maintained gardens. You could visit many times and still find things you haven’t seen and places you missed. I loved it more than even Hampton Court. The food was great and the entire staff is friendly and welcoming. I love this place. This was my second visit and I plan to go again and again.
The house is interesting with its connection to Lord Castlereagh, and the gardens are superb. Every member of staff/volunteer I met there was friendly and knowledgeable. A great day out to be remembered for a long time
One of the most beautiful gardens I've ever been 😍 Staff are lovely and very welcoming. Villa it is just marvelous.with really interesting facts and beautiful antique paintings and furniture. You can tell ,people who are working in Mount Stewart are really passionate about their jobs and it shows !!
Thank you and we will definitely be back
Beautiful castle, interior with a beautiful colour scheme of the ( green ) coulered walls and floors.
Beautiful gardens. Really one of the best we have seen. And we have seen a lot.
And if possible do our greetings to great volunteer Colin with a friend in Vriezenveen. He is great.
Stunning house set in wonderful gardens. The staff were very knowledgeable and chatty. We really enjoyed the time here. The gardens are substantial, but I didn't feel they deserved the accolade of being one of the top 10 gardens in the world. They are a bit overgrown in most places and a bit sparse in others. I suspect they are suffering from lack of care through the COVID years. Having said that I'd definitely recommend a visit.
