Absolutely awesome- packed with fascinating Midlands treasurees.  Great to talk to the guides for further info.  Magnifying glasses are great for details.  Alice & Martin   14.7.2026

Our second visit to the gardens, this time taking friends and four dogs. The walled garden is a lovely start. The grounds look immaculate but unfortunately it was too hot for us to do the full walk again this year. We've not been able to see inside the house and do the tour because we have the dogs with us but maybe next time we're over. The lady on the gate was lovely and my friend had a chat with the original gardener/groundsman, also very nice. No tearoom which is unusual nowadays. Plenty of parking.

What a fascinating tour!  Not only was the audio very interesting, the guides were so passionate & informative.  Thank you all - especially The Tennysons.

This was my favourite historic site during our IoW visit. Despite a windy, rainy afternoon the walled garden was lovely. We booked a tour of the house. The audio guide was surprisingly good, informative with just the right amount of detail.

We loved our visit. The guides were really knowledgeable and passionate about their work. They were also great storytellers that brought the poets' story to life. Though I'm personally not a fan of audio guides (I read much faster), I was glad that most of the information was also to be found in leaflets in the rooms. The interior was absolutely stunning, especially all the replications of the wallpaper, curtains and rugs.
