    Beautiful gardens and an amazing house to look at. We didn't go inside as it was around £18 for a family ticket and we were a little short of cash this month!! I'd definitely go inside when I'm flush though as we looked through the windows and it looked awesome inside.

    The house is outstanding, the gardens are magnificent. All personnel make our visit perfect, specially Shannon, the young lady that welcomed us in the main house. Superb! I would recommend the house visit anytime.

    Had a lovely afternoon out for Apple day on October 3rd. They had lots of things for the kids to do and and a craft fair was on in the hall, it was brilliant. The hall itself is wonderful and there are guides there that can answer any questions you have. The building was built in 1590 but Is impeccably maintained. There's a little family room upstairs with toys and games and stuff. The stairs are quite steep and might be a challenge for some people. The site isn't massive but there's a nice cafe and a small garden to walk around. I think we will definitely go back in the future.

    Was a falconry day which the kids enjoyed. Me my partner our eldest (5 years old) did the house tour. The guide was fantastic and kept involving our son to keep him engaged. Would definitely recommend it if you have an interest in the history of England / Birmingham

    I went here and had a lovely experience! I loved being shown around the house and learning all about its history. There were many interesting things to look at and the tourguide was very friendly and interactive. I would recommend this to anyone x

    Wonderful coffee shop set in beautiful herb gardens. This is a real hidden gem that not many people are aware of. If you go once you will want to return. Staff are very friendly. Highly recommended, you won't be disappointed.

    Beautiful house in a beautiful setting. The guides are extremely knowledgeable and are fantastic with children. The hall itself is kept very well and laid out as it would have been back then, with some exhibits kept in immaculate glass housing. There is also a café and shop which are fairly well priced and you are able to bring your own food and sit in the gardens when the weather is good. Also highly recommend getting some of the lavender goods which is grown on site.

    I don't want to review it as its such a little Jewel in the Museum's Crown. Not huge in the least. In the Summer you could seat, inside and out 50 people at the cafe area and a little gift shop. They do events through the year and a payed tour of the old house.. But it's the ladies running the place are just fantastic. Super kind and lovely people. Above and beyond as they are just such nice people. It's the reason I go more than anything to relax and have fun with my son. Perfect and relaxed environment... I wish them well. Sincere regards David and Henry.

    First visit and had a throughly lovely day walking round the grounds on a beautiful sunny afternoon with friends. Loads of tables and benches strategically placed to sit down and enjoy a picnic. I understand it is totally run by volunteers so 'hats off' to them for this little gem of a place. Will certainly visit again and hope to attend on one of their event days.

    The whole family decided to get together. This was after we were told that we could venture out after having been stuck inside during Covid19. The ground were clean and the children had ample room to run around. This is a voluntary run Estate so having been in lockdown and considering the work that goes in maintaining an estate of this size is testimony to the staff. Staff were very helpful and eager to help. There was honey being sold in the grounds that was produced by the bees that roam the grounds. We bought 2 jars. Very tasty ! We have vast Estate near Bristol where we live but it was nice day so we decided to see something different. It was a lovely day out. Oh by the way do take with you a picnic hamper! Enjoy.

    Have lived nearby for all my life and never thought to visit. Really glad I did! The gardens are a separate entity to the hall, which is an adjacent hotel. At £5 it is well worth visiting. There is a large, well maintained formal garden with a maze as well as plenty of large spaces to walk, sit, picnic and just relax. There are events for adults and children throughout the main party of the year. You can take a picnic or buy refreshments, including cream teas, at the Orangery. Very well organised for these covid times with plenty of seating areas, including an open marquis should you want shelter. My parents and five year old thoroughly enjoyed our visit

    We have been coming to gardens for years and can say that Castle Bromwich Hall Gardens is one of our favourite places to visit. ( we love it so much we became life time members of the trust). We've celebrated birthdays, blossom picnics and this year when the lock down eased my husband and i renewed our vows. The historical gardens truly is a hidden gem, with acres of land perfect for children and adults to explore the great outdoors, or simply to be one with nature. With plenty to do with events throughout the year all perfectly organised. Castle Bromwich Hall Gardens also rather booking for larger events. So if you are looking to get married i would definitely recommend this place. From booking the day to the actual day is a very smooth process. The staff are amazing and made things very easy. You can bring dogs to CBHG as long as they are on short lead. They do hot drinks and do cream teas. You can bring your own picnics to and enjoy them in the depths of the garden. They also have a holly maze which has taken us 10mins to complete. Theres just so much to do. You will love it.

    Blakesley Hall is fantastic. A great place to go and see the gardens and cafe (for free). You only pay entry to access the actual hall (house). Lovely staff and a very well maintained garden - great for kids of all ages. 10/10 would recommend.

    We had our wedding here and it was the perfect location. So beautiful (especially with all the flowers in bloom)! There is a choice of two locations and we chose the barn which seats 60. We had full access to the grounds all day, and paid a little extra to open up the house for tours during the cocktail hour. Guests loved it, we loved it. Laura and Suzanne were absolutely PHENOMENAL! They helped us bring our vision to life, and were brilliant when we had a bit of a disaster (the caterers not showing up). If you want to get married somewhere with a relaxed feel that you can make your own, we would HIGHLY recommend Blakesley Hall :)

  • 3/5 Abigail Courtney T. 4 years ago on Google
    A good museum but you can only go around the house with a guide. The guide could do with updating their knowledge on a few things. A fair price to enter, quite expensive coffee shop but the profits go back into the museums in the group

  • 5/5 Andrew L. 4 years ago on Google
    An Elizabethan hall in Birmingham? You've got to go! Wonderful

  • 4/5 Paul J. 3 years ago on Google
    Nice gardens definately worth a stroll. Seemed to be a decent improvement on last year's visit with more engagement for visitors and obvious post lockdown efforts on social media.

  • 5/5 Caroline W. 3 years ago on Google
    Magical, beautiful place from a forgotten time. We loved exploring and picnicking in the gardens. #Hiddengem

  • 5/5 Rauf F. 3 years ago on Google
    Small but with an amazing variety of places and gardens

  • 5/5 dawn k. 3 years ago on Google
    Absolutely a beautiful estate with tons to do. They are trying to be protective for Covid with an incredible amount of hand sanitizer stations, but most were empty so definitely don't rely on those. The castle ruins are pretty and it is just an amazing place for kids. I can't imagine not visiting this as often as possible with them.

  • 5/5 Alison H. 3 years ago on Google
    This is really the jewel in Castle Bromwich just so tranquil not to be missed. Excellent

  • 5/5 Dauvit A. 3 years ago on Google

    Came here with the family for tea. Very lovely place that has kept its old features, including a rustic style interior it looks l, it is a brilliant place to come with the family. The food is nice, and the staff are awesome, they don’t watch over you or keep coming to you to ask if you need anything and don’t feel rushed. Will definitely be back to this amazing place

  • 5/5 Carla C. 4 years ago on Google
    An oasis in the city! Very well maintained gardens which promote the creation of habitat for wildlife. Some lovely planting, a holly maze, parterres, beautifully sculpted bay obelisks, ponds, delightful garden buildings (orangery etc.) Well worth a visit and very family friendly

  • 5/5 The A. 2 years ago on Google
    What a great little jewel we found. We had the dog, so couldn’t go into the house itself. However, although the grounds weren’t massive, they were very well kept. We very much enjoyed wandering around them a couple of times, finishing off with a lovely coffee at the cafe - with plenty of seating outside and in. Whilst we didn’t go into the house, what we saw through the Windows was enough for us to say we will be coming back to look round it soon. Brilliant for a couple of hours to spare!

  • 4/5 graham g. 2 years ago on Google
    Lovely staff.. Kids had a great time and fun in the garden. Disappointed on lunch as a choice of 3 package sandwiches not quite what I had in mind. Nice spot to eat outside as well as in.

  • 5/5 joyce b. 2 years ago on Google
    I loved learning about how they believed forks where the devil's tongue so they did not use them. And finding out what the house was made of and I'm happy my house is not built the same way. Hope Age 9

    My daughter's wedding was held at Blakesley Hall and I would wholeheartedly recommend them, it was a beautiful venue, the perfect size and a very helpful team. We had issues on the day with our caterer but Suzanne and Laura did everything they could to help us fix things and saved the day! Thank you so much

    What a beautiful Manor and gardens! Authentic Tudor items decorate the interior of the manor, really giving you a feel of what it was like to be alive 500 years ago. Alegedly, Catherine of Aragon, Henry VIII's first wife visited the Blakesley Hall! Would highly recommend going, very family friend and gorgeous little cafe. Staff are lovely and really made my visit super special as they gave me and my friend a tour of the manor.

    Would’ve gave zero if I had the chance to however since I can’t, I give one. The reason why I’ve gave one as you guys clearly can’t be bothered to update your opening/closing hours after the new year period. At least have some grace because you’ve just wasted our time as me and my partner have experienced the most stressful drive ever trying to get to this place to find out that it’s not even open, all of the fuel wasted too. Pathetic, update your opening times it’s really not that hard. “Confirmed by our business 8 weeks ago” online that the opening times are correct, grow up and have the decency to not lie.
