Even in winter, with just the gardens open this is a special place. Snowdrops were massed lovely,l in impressive ranks, the volunteers are so helpful and polite. The exhibition is surprisingly good - so often these are a bit yawn but this was genuinely interesting. Easy access with the electric buses ferrying the elderly and very young. Lots of parking. Church next door is worth a visit too

Absolutely beautiful National Trust property, It is currently undergoing restoration so only parts of the house can be visited.. The gardens are glorious and there is a lake area which is superb and relaxing. We found ALL the staff to be very friendly and informative. Rick the voleneer park guide was charming and informative. There was a lovely tearoom and Gift shop.

Lovely property with a mix of landscaped gardens that are dog free and open walks for the furry ones. Great views on the open walks. An interesting house which is worth a visit inside, lots of restoration in progress. This is the kind of property that would be good to come back to in different seasons.

Lovely park and gardens. Parts of the house were being renovated while we were there, but the exhibition and tour of the house was still absolutely worth it. The volunteers of the National Trust are doing an excellent job and in every room there will be someone telling you a story about the house, the artworks on display, all with a lot of passion and attention to detail.

We didn’t get to go inside much of the house due to repairs happening at the time. But, the grounds are beautiful. The outside of the house is gorgeous, and I recommend walking inside the church and around the garden.

Dyrham Park is a beautiful place. We visit quite regularly and always enjoy going back there. There can be what feels like hundreds of cars in the car park but you can walk around and not see many people. Would definitely recommend a visit if you’ve not been.

Lovely house and surrounding grounds. There is currently some restoration work going on, but it is wonderful to see how well cared for the place is. I will note there is a steep walk to the house from the car park and back again, but the views are amazing! And there are shuttles if you cannot make the walk as well.

This is a beautiful National Trust property. At present it has ongoing work in the grounds outside the gardens and on the main house. This means their are restrictions on what where you can go. The grounds are beautiful as is the house. New electric buses to help the less agile from the carpark to house. Coffee bar. A great place to relax, lovely plants, be careful if you have children as deep water. Well worth a visit.

Beautiful country house surrounded by stunning gardens, some might say the house has a slightly shady past given its historical ownership, but for me it’s rich with history that needs to be retained for future generations, good and not so good. The gardens and ponds are a delight to explore, the chapel is a lovely quiet space. Go enjoy..

Visited yesterday with my 12 year old granddaughter. Dyrham is a stunning Anglo Dutch property surrounded by beautiful gardens and expansive grassland. I have been a NT member with both of my grandchildren for several years visiting lots of different properties not only for their historical importance but for the chance for my grandchildren to enjoy fresh air and freedom, something that is sadly lacking in the lives of many of their generation. We have all enjoyed every moment. Thank you, National Trust.

Good place to visit close to Bristol. Nice gardens and lots of walks. Historically important. Facilities are good. Beautiful views when walking down from the car park. Site has got a small electric bus running from the car park to the house to help visitors with mobility issues. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Part of the house was closed to public due to lack of staff on the day we visited.

A lovely big house to walk round and lots of rooms to soak up and enjoy the history. The gardens are well kept and you can enjoy browsing the borders. The lake is very relaxing and there are seats to enjoy the surroundings.

Parking £4 all day then pay to enter. We walked around approximately 1hr seeing panoramic views over Severn valley. You can walk down the drive or catch a small bus to the house. Good for the disabled. Lovely gardens and house, cafe and shop. Lots to see. Assistance dogs only.

If you like a good walk with stunning views this is your place. Great cafes and playground for the little ones. Clean toilets and huge car park. Magnificent house, garden and cute greenhouse. Church and its cemetery give the state an extra point. Challenge: find a secret door from the garden.

Relaxed National Trust property. Good atmosphere. Pleasant cafe and shop lovely walk to the house and mobility bus if you can't manage it. The gardens are the best. I love going there. Orangerie interesting as well.

Beautiful herbaceous borders and formal gardens behind the house. Acres of deer park to roam in. Toilets open in top car park and down near the gardens. Good social distancing and hand sanitizing measures in place. Subtle wood carvings in natural wood to discover on the walk down. No courtesy bus running to get you back up the hill, so you need to prepared for a good hill climb at the end of your visit. Small outdoor servery for hot & cold drinks, cakes & snacks and Marshfield Ice creams. A lovely day out.

One of my favourite National Trust House and Garden with cafe and easy place to go for people with disabilities , the staff is so friendly and also they have mini buses from car park to the house to make it easier for wheelchair users. Garden was so beautiful maintained. Nice place for picnic , walking and Enjoy outside nature in all season . Need to buy Tickets for non members National Trust membership is the best for families and support the remaining historical Buildings.

Dyrham Park is a baroque English country house in an ancient deer park, owned and run by the National Trust The car park is a considerable distance from the house, but you have the option of a wheelchair friendly courtesy bus, or a walk down a steep hill. (And up hill coming back) The house, with the attached orangery and stable block, is a Grade I listed building, while the park is Grade II* listed. In the house you can get a flavour of 17th-century life with a fine collection of Dutch ceramics and fine art. Guides on site were excellent and shared their knowledge in an engaging manner. Outside the formal gardens were stunning. Overall another outstanding NT property. Great for lovers of history and gardens.

Loved my afternoon here. The staff were so lovely and polite and very knowledgeable of the house. The gardens are vasodilation done and loads of work is being carried out all the time. The cafe was super busy but I had a great afternoon tea! Bit of a trek from the car park so make sure you wear comfortable shoes! Not sure how much the parking was but there's a small fee for non National Trust members

Beautiful national trust property with stunning views and lovely garden. I recommend doing the prospect walk which is an hour long walk around the area with stunning views(you can just make out the severn bridge) ending at the Manor House and Gardens or you can just walk straight down the drive to the house. Gift shop and cafe on site. Sadly no deer anymore due to tuberculosis.

Great place to visit, long walk down from car park to house but with amazing views. Beautiful gardens and interesting interior and a really good cafe with plenty of outdoor seating on a nice day. Usual well stocked National trust shop, and that down hill walk from the car park turns into an uphill walk to get back. But never fear, regular electric buses run up and down the hill all day.

Nice big estate with quite a few walks. Unfortunately the house was closed when we were there but the gardens are nice and you can see the church and neighbouring village too. Note that the house is a bit of a walk from the car park.

Beautiful setting, stunning view didn't venture into the house as was such a lovely day. Very steep hill back to the carpark. Grounds so different to other NT houses. Definitely worth the visit

Beautiful inside and out. The art inside was captivating, and the walk around the house very impressive. The cafe and gift shop were both cute and affordable, with very nice staff. The walk to the house was quite long, however very scenic, but there is a free shuttle bus for those who don’t wish to walk down which I took on the way back up.

Great walks around the ground with breathtaking views over the Cotswolds. Dryham house gardens are some of the best I have seen

One of my favourite places to visit. Great for children of all ages, lots for younger children, and your older children can go off safely and have an adventure/mooch around! Beautiful and historic, lots of space, incredible views, friendly staff. Nice food and coffee. Fab shop. Lots of walking and hills! Shuttle bus for accessibility to the house area.

Beautiful national trust property, the gardens are spectacular with a wide variety of tulips in bloom at the moment. The house is currently undergoing some restoration so only a small portion is available to view, however able to see what is happening and it is going to look amazing when it is finished.

Lovely old house. Used in Sanditon. Beautiful gardens. Can all be seen in a quick afternoon. Take the long way round to make the most of it. Issue that there is not a direct bus there so if you don't drive it's a pain to get to.

Lovely grounds. Nice walks. Ground floor of house open but timed entry so walks instead

A lovely day out with a fabulous play park for kids. There is a long walk down from the car park to the bus but there is a shuttle bus. The grounds are lovely to walk around. There is a second hand book shop and cafè (small indoor seating section) and the house was lovely but not many rooms open to view which was a shame. Would recommend visiting here though. They had some nice games outside for the children to enjoy.

What a lovely place to visit. Really impressed. Highly recommended

The park was really popular and it was good that we got there early as it filled up fast. Usual National Trust cafe was available on site and there was a great little mobility bus for those that can't make it down or up the driveway (15 min walk downhill...going in). Gardens were lovely, well maintained and there were butterflies, dragonflies, ducks etc. A little disappointed by the house as not very many rooms were open and there wasn't a lot in the rooms but still worth a walk around.

Awesome. Beautiful grounds to walk in, with some perfectly picturesque trees! The house is marvelous and includes some exhibits you can touch and experience - my favourite were the globes. The volunteer staff are super friendly and knowledgeable, including being able to discuss some of the darker historical background with honesty, sensitivity, and compassion.

Went on a wet day and found it very useful for my wife to use the electric bus to take her to and from the carpark and house. About a 10 minute walk from the car park to the house. There are plenty of paths to take around the estate. The coffee shop is comfortable with underfloor heating nearer the till. The house is very good. Lovely building with plenty of information dotted around and knowledgeable staff. We had a great day.

The sat nav initially took me to the delivery entrance, which is inaccessible. The main entrance is actually via the gate adjacent to the road. Parking is £5 or free for National Trust members. This place seems popular and was relatively busy throughout. I started out on the boundary trail which takes in some great views of the surrounding areas. I could clearly see the Severn bridge and a few other local landmarks. Definitely worth having decent footwear as it was relatively soft underfoot on a dry autumn day. I then walked to the refurbished stables which includes a cafe, toilets and children's play area From Here you can go directly to the house via some steps, visit the church, or take in the gardens. The gardens are spectacular and well worth spending some time in. Entrance to the house was staggered as a guide explains a little history of the house and the directions to follow. The inside of the house is incredibly opulent with some amazing decor and items to look at. I particularly enjoyed the historical timeline in the kitchen. There is a shop, cafe and toilet also in this area. I took a walk back to the car park via a winding paved road which allows you to view the house from another angle. I spent most of the day here as there is so much to see spread across a relatively vast area. Another very special National Trust place.

Easy to grumble about needing change for the parking (£2 for 2hrs or £4 for 4), but those complaints fade once you are through and into the lovely grounds. There is a smallish outdoor playpark for the kids, several cafes, good (expensive) coffee, and some beautiful grounds to walk around. Shuttle bus back to the car park highly recommended, as the hill is significant.

Had a wonderful morning visiting the house and site Traffic views. Brilliant walk. Interesting house Only thing to note. It's a long walk from the house to the car park that's up hill. There is a mobility service back though if the walk is too bad

We were lucky enough to receive a free family day entry at a national trust park, and we decided upon Dyrham Park. We as a family have never visited a national trust area before, and we were so looking forward to our day. Travelling from south mid Wales. The park was easy to find and just off the motorway. It took around 30 minutes for us to be able to pay for parking as it wouldn't accept card on the machine, only members could swipe a card. You are given an option to download a pay app (unfortunately the area has no signal) we were very lucky that we had £4 in coins otherwise we would of been completely stuck and staff just stood around watching. We enjoyed walking around, and the open space was just lovely. The grounds are very well maintained, and the children loved spotting all the different fruit growing. They were a little disappointed that there was no maze because a space like that would add to the originality of the grounds. The church has sadly been left to deteriorate, and it's a shame. Directions into the main house are poor. We walked around in circles several times following directions that led us to a member of staff that abruptly pointed out it was a "disabled only entrance." When we finally found the entrance, we were warmly welcomed by a friendly gentleman in the main hall. There was one volunteer who was incredibly rude and snapped at my children for exploring the globes and pointing out certain things. She shouted at them, "Do not touch the globe" in an awful manner, that did upset them and made them jump. There was no need to embarrass them in that way. This was after we had witnessed herself and another visitor doing the exact same thing. Firstly, in my opinion, they should be made unaccessible from touching with rope around them and secondly a sign that would state "please do not touch the globes" If children are allowed inside the Manor then this would be expected from children in all honesty. We had a lovely picnic by the pond, watching all the colouful dragon flies. We didn't see any deer, which was a shame. The gift shop is very reasonably priced and the member of staff there was also lovely and friendly. Leaving the car park was very confusing as it states no exit at the point we entered but does not direct you to the exit, signs should be displayed as visitors from out of the area would have no idea. All in all, we had a lovely few hours out, although unsure of future visits as a family with excited children.

Dyrham Park is in many ways similar to other National Trust properties, and well worth visiting. We would recommend taking a few minutes to view the video as you enter the house. Be aware that there is a steep downhill lane leading down from the car park to the house and main gardens, and it was a bit of a struggle walking up that hill on the way back to the car. But there is a buggy which can transport those with mobility problems. The gardens are also lovely and the ponds and water garden add to the experience. Nearby is a church which does not belong to National Trust but can easily be accessed from the park.

Absolutely beautiful place! Can’t believe it’s on our doorstep and we’ve never visited! If you’re in Bristol or Bath, 100% worth coming. As NT members, I feel like we’ll be coming here a lot from now on! You can see the amount of investment that’s been recently put into the place, and the continual improvements that are being made. They have a beautiful new playground which has something for all ages, next to a gorgeous little cafe and picnic area (one of a few). The gardens are so well maintained, and everything looks fresh and well kept. So many bits to see and do here, including the house, the church, the garden terraces, viewing point, book shop, garden and gift shop, and the lovely cafes and playground. Highly recommend!! Practical note: From the car park you must descend down a hill to the house, regardless of which way you go. It is set much lower. This can be steeper in some places than others, and the walk back up gives you a good workout! However, we managed with a 6 and 3 year old without issue at all (they are fitter than us!!) and there is a mobility bus that ferries people between the car park and house if needed.

Tip: walk downhill from the parking lot to the house, then bury your pride and take the shuttle bus uphill on the way back. (Otherwise it's a significant stroll.) The house can be a bit bleak at times but the grounds and surrounding landscape are beautiful. If you're a NT member, definitely worth a stop.

Nice afternoon walking around Durham Park and visiting the Manor House. You park in the carpark at the top of the hill and can take a couple of different routes down to the house. We walked the longer way round and stopped off in a converted barn cafe whilst waiting for the rain to stop. It has several seating areas and a play park for children. The Manor House is beautiful along with the church and the gardens. There is a cafe down by the Manor House and a gift and book shop. They provide little shuttle buses that take you down to the house and take you back to car park, so great if you can't walk too far.

Opulence abounds in the beautiful grounds, gardens and house. 🅿️ easy access and a few different walks from the car to the house and gardens, one taking in the viewpoint, or the lodge, there are small buses if you need assistance with he distance or cannot make it back, very well organised. House is lovely, gardens and water feature gorgeous, really well worth a visit, nice cafe, plenty of toilets and really lovely helpful staff, great day out, we are national trust members so 🅿️ and entrance with membership which is well worth it

Had a lovely day out over Easter, even though the weather didn’t want to play ball. Grounds are fantastic and the house is well kept and has a some stunning features. Of course you cannot get away from some of the less celebratory history, however the staff were really helpful and really understood the history to bring the place to life. Parking is reasonable for not National Trust members (free for members) so definitely worth a visit if in the area.

Lovely walk down to the beautiful house, church and gardens. Good cafe, with indoor and courtyard seating. Small shop. Flowers are glorious. Easy to find a quiet spot to sit and enjoy.

A grand manor house with a lot of story. I suggest not to miss the exhibition that gives you historical context, which is important to understand the house. Some objects and pieces of furniture are beautiful, while parts of the interior remind more of a museum than a lived-in house. The garden is gorgeous when in blossom.

Lovely old National Trust property situated a few minutes drive from jnct 18 of the M4. Like all NT properties it's steeped in a long and very interesting history. However, for us, the beautiful gardens and water garden were the real attraction, especially if you go in May or June. Be warned that the house is a long walk from the car park. Going to the house is at least all downhill but going back to the car park means negotiating a long steep path. If you have mobility or fitness problems it's far better to take the frequent courtesy bus. However, a great place and well worth a visit.

Dyrham Park is a magnificent historic site nestled in the beautiful English countryside. The park offers a perfect blend of natural beauty, stunning architecture, and rich history. The sprawling landscape provides ample opportunities for peaceful walks, with breathtaking views of rolling hills and lush greenery. The centerpiece of Dyrham Park is the impressive baroque mansion, which boasts grandeur and charm. Exploring the opulent rooms, adorned with exquisite tapestries and ornate furnishings, is like stepping back in time. The well-preserved interiors offer glimpses into the lives of the people who once called this place home.

Beautiful building and stunning grounds, complete with plenty of deer. Just be aware, currently, if you struggle to walk up hill that it's a lengthy medium Up hill walk back to the car park as there are currently no shuttle running, understandably.

Great walks and lovely gardens!

Lovely place. Long walk from carpark and hilly on the way back. Not great for oaps

Lovely place and doing such a great job during these testing times.

Lovely grounds to gently still around

Excellent day out, highly recommended

Great park with plenty of undulating walking to be had.

Beautiful. Friendly staff.

Beautiful! Even on a soggy day...

love this place. this was my first visit sinse covid and I am pleased to say it's all open. the views are amazing . The wildlife (deer) are very accessible. It's a very simple place. if you like walking and great views with a bit of country house on the side then this is your place to come. Picnicking is openly encouraged so bring the basket along.

Fantastic estate walk down to the house. Immaculate gardens with real abundance of flowers and foliage. Water feature that the kids play in during the hotter months and plenty of space. You should be able to see the deer in the park too which is especially majestic in the winter.

Nice place and well organised, not sure I could spend the whole day there. Flapjack from the little coffee place was lush.

It was a rainy day so the pictures are not so good

Dyrham Park is a stunning property with sprawling parkland and picturesque landscape gardens. Voluntary staff are friendly and knowledgeable and have worked hard to make it Covid-secure. The views of the Bristol basin from Prospect Walk are truly inspiring. This is a fantastic National Trust property.

Beautiful gardens. The melding of wild flowers mixed with more common species adds up to a maze of discovery with ponds and a waterfall. The house isn't available to view during the pandemic but there's still plenty to see and two walks on the estate and another circular walk outside of that which you can find in a Pathfinder guide book (and likely elsewhere). The staff are doing so well with social distancing and the booking system in really good humour (Top tip - the lady in the shop is an absolute scream, worth a visit). Highly recommended and I'll be back to see the house!

The walk was bracing, windy, but still excellent. The tea kiosk is very efficient and the gardens are looking beautiful. Recommended.

Always a great place to visit. Grounds and gardens all open during now but not house yet. Well organised with some one way bits round the gardens but free to roam in the grounds. Got fairly close to the deer.

Fantastic experience. Lovely Staff. Not too busy so no queue or worry about social distance. Nice clean toilets. Very well organised. Plus we saw deer! A lovely day out.

Big open spaces, good for covid-19 days

Such a beautiful place for a relaxing family day out.The grounds are great for enjoying countryside + views.If you're lucky you may see the resident herds of deer ?

Amazing open space. Deer spotting. Bristol views and nice gardens

Nice place to have a walk around the gardens, no access to the house at the moment. Well look after grounds.

Amazing grounds with deer and lots of hills. Views on to surrounding countryside well worth the hills. Staff are friendly and knowledgeable. Well setup for social distancing - lucky to be visiting when numbers are limited.

Well-worthy of a 5-star rating when the magnificent manor's re-opened. Tremendous panoramic views across the Severn into Wales from the Deer Park. The mirror- like lake & beautifully structured formal gardens add a touch of elegance. The turbulence of C21st life can be forgotten here.

Love it, going back for a full day picnic

We went back to Dyrham Park today for the first time since lockdown. I need to use the mobility bus which isn't running because of current restrictions. The staff were so helpful, a quick email explaining my problem and they explained how i could be dropped off near house while my partner parked in the car park. The garden was beautiful as always and well organised for social distancing as was the takeaway tea shop. It was a lovely experience with lovely friendly, helpful staff. Thank you

A very nice place for a walk.

Top location with beautiful grounds.

Friendly and helpful staff made it a very enjoyable afternoon despite the restrictions and it was a lovely visit. The path back to the car park round the edge of the Park was fun for our 4 year old granddaughter who loved the logs and carvings.

Beautiful place to stroll around.

It's a great place to visit and walk around

First visit and I loved it - beautiful gardens, will return

Great place for a day out! Huge park to walk around and take in the sights of the surrounding area.

Lovely place to go for a walk and a nice long distance view right across to Wales. Pretty gardens and the house seems to be open again (we didn't attempt to go in on our last visit as it was such a lovely day we wanted to enjoy being outside). The route down to the house it quite steep but there is a free bus for anyone that would prefer not to walk.

Really great place. We are member and come here often, loads of space for children to burn off energy

Very nice grounds and house well worth a visit.

Beautiful estate and gardens, with different walk length for all ages.

Our first visit - did to Coronavirus we had to book an entry time online - you can't just turn up - but it was simple and even though traffic was a nightmare and we were a bit late, it wasn't a problem. There are some really nice walks through the grounds to the house. We walked down via the Prospect Walk which had stunning views across the countryside of Bristol and even the Beacon Beacons in Wales. The grounds and house were kept well up together and it wasn't too busy. The only time we were really aware of others was when we went to the 'cafe' to get an ice cream and had to queue for about 30 minutes. This was the only other downside was the cost of drink/food ... A can of Pepsi for £2.25 is a bit pricey! It was such a nice day we didn't go in the house but just wanted around the grounds, the kids had fun rolling down the hills and spotting the deers. The walking is of moderate challenge - we walked about 3 miles in total, the walk back to the car park is more challenging as it's up hill. People were managing ok with buggys and there is a bus for less able visitors. Perfect for a relaxing few hours.

Lots of space, lots of variety.

Always lovely to visit but noticeably less distancing going on and felt crowded today compared with visits in recent weeks.

Just love coming here to take a stroll and hopefully spot the deer

Just beautiful

A lot of people had little idea there about any sort of social distancing! Small boys playing cricket where people who were there first were having picnics so we moved midway through lunch! And small girl had a wee on the grass near by instead of her parents /carers taking her to the toilets. Otherwise we had a good day. Lovely garden.

Beautiful place but not good parking arrangements at the moment.
