    Absolutely LOVED IT!!! amazing place for families, for couples for everyone I guess. Abbey is at centre of Deer park with couple of ponds which adds so much beautiful views all around. Unfortunately I cannot able to see the inside view of Abbey due to refurbishment take place and it will be back for public in 2021. You can have a very good walk in the park as well as the Woburn Old Town just meters away from this place. Also, when you drive into this park you fell like Richmond park in London. Definitely recommended!

    Fantastic afternoon tea (delicious vegan and gf vegan options available) but you need to prebook your dietary requirement. On booking staff were exceptionally friendly and immediately understood vegan and GF vegan requirements. allow yourself extra time (c20mins) to get there on time as you need to check in at main gate and then drive the 2-3 miles to the house and garden entrance. tea rooms were lovely as was the impressive grounds and gardens. i happily would return with the kids for a picnic and maybe next time would take a look inside the Abbey (add on cost).

    This is a fantastic place to visit the Abbey has so much to see you will need to spend some time trying to take it all in. The gardens are well worth making sure you get all areas in. Picnic areas and tables dotted about for use some with shade. Toilets at various points around the site.

    So many good memories of this place over the years Its beautiful. The gardens are stunning especially in summer. Its a perfect place for a picnic or a stroll back in time. Me and my children have grown up coming here and its never disappointed. If your disabled your carer goes free and its also discounted admission. You can spend a day or just a couple of hours in the beautiful gardens and deer park. I love that it hasn't changed that much over the years. A perfect day out ☺

    A great place to visit. The house is full of historical wonders and the staff are all very knowledgeable and friendly. The gardens are glorious on a summer's day, and full of great photo opportunities. The tea house is a nice place to have lunch and reasonably priced.

    Gardens were lovely although smaller than I expected. Abbey is very impressive and the guides located throughout were very informative. Nice to know the family still use part of the Abbey today. Afternoon tea was good and well priced. We obtained a passport ticket for both the Abbey & Gardens and Woburn Safari which saved us about 20%.

    Enjoyed. House much more ornately decorated than I expected. Needed more (minimal) information on hand that could identify and illuminate particular items of interest as you go around but an interesting visit. Gardens not huge but good for wandering. Deer park always nice.

    The gardens and deer park are lovely. I have not visited the Abbey itself yet but if you want a place to get in a walk and wonderful gardens it is great. The maze is interesting and there are several different picturesque spots throughout the garden area. The pottery and café are lovely also.

    Beautiful grounds, perfect for a summers day picnic with the family, plenty of space for the children to explore. Beautiful house full of historical facts, pottery studio (but bring cash if you want a price of pottery as a keepsake) and a lovely area to great fresh baked goods. I recommend the carrot cake, was delicious.

    The gardens are beautiful and well worth a look. It has public toilets and a lovely little gift shop. You can picnic anywhere in the gardens. If you are disabled your carer goes free and your ticket is reduced to nearly half. They have wheelchair hire and mobility scooters for hire which help greatly. I hope this is helpful ☺
