    Had a lovely visit here recently over the weekend. There is so much to see on a walk around here, from the actual hospital itself to the chapel and the stunning gardens. We even got to see the very talented musical duo Pease Pottage perform live.

    Had a few hours to wander around Warwick. Decided to pop in. Staff lovely, friendly and very helpful. One way system in operation but didn't detract from the experience. Very interesting with lots of information available. Cafe/restaurant lovely with a good choice available.

    Stunning Tudor property with it's origins just post conquest. Victorian facing on the masters house in the courtyard but other renovations very much in sympathy with the original building. Beautiful timber work and pretty gardens.

    Lovely place for little half day out or an afternoon. Staff were very friendly and you can stroll round the place at your own pace. There's also toilets, a cafe and a little shop.

    First trip to see anything touristy post lock down. Was very quiet and peaceful, a mix of history and culture for the area. Lovely displays, informative and well placed. Easy to navigate around and a good route during COVID times. Would highly recommend doing this in the morning, have breakfast in the cafe at 10am and then do the tour.

    I visited the newly reopened site this week and was very impressed with the scope of the restorations that have taken place! The new exhibits are interactive which is great for the younger generations, and the history timeline is a brilliant addition. The Cafe staff were very polite and I enjoyed the traditional Tudor menu, especially the Noonshine!

    Visited the newly modernised Lord Leicester Hospital with a friend yesterday. We wanted to see the changes made as weโ€™d previously enjoyed a visit. The work done has made the visit even more interesting as there is an information room with chronological history and a video. We also got to visit the Masterโ€™s House and the lovely sunny gardens. The accessibility is much improved for wheelchair users etc, and they now have a larger tea room/cafe in the Great Hall, where we enjoyed really delicious warm scones and hot drinks, and excellent friendly waitress service.

    I have been on a tour before but this time it was to take my daughter's family for breakfast with Santa on a Sat morning. To give more social distancing the Cafe has now moved into the vaulted Great Hall which makes you feel you are walking into a different era and perfect setting with its tall Xmas tree for the Santa brunch. Staff were very attentive and accommodating to our requests, so we could opt for brown toast rather than croissants and a coffee rather than hot chocolate, and the kids enjoyed making the paper chains and colouring. Santa was great chatting individually to each child too as he went round the tables. A very enjoyable breakfast morning at the Lord Leycester and will be back to make more use of the cafe when in town.

    Renovation of this wonderful medieval building is a great improvement for visitors and- I'm sure for those that live there. Excellent food served in the banquet hall. I've heard it's classed as the most important medieval building in Europe!

    A fabulous afternoon spent at the Lord Leycester! So much more than we expected and thoroughly enjoyed exploring the buildings and grounds! And the connection to Doctor Who and Shakespeare and Hathaway was an added bonus as fans of the shows!!! Will certainly come back and sample the fayre in the restaurant too!

    A wonderful time machine of a historic building, recently refurbished with great displays and resources. This is a hidden Warwick gem often missed as the castle obviously dominates the area. Do chat to the residents who man the walls so to speak, we did over 2 days and it was illuminating. Such an interesting building, take time to sit in the gardens and transport yourself back in time. Topped off by a wonderful cafe open to non visitors as well, a different menu and reasonably priced. All the staff we encountered were top notch and super friendly not forgetting the gardener. A 2nd visit is on the cards hopefully.

    Probably the most iconic building in Warwick apart from the castle. Currently under renovation but well worth a visit once it reopens. The annual beer festival is a must too!

    If you go to Warwick castle, you should take one hour or two to visit this place which is nearby the castle. A very old building whose inclined walls sometimes seem to defy gravity. The chapel atop the western gate has something special, the great hall with its squeaky floor and its distorted walls is a shout from very ancient times, the courtyard with all its wooden parts and sculptures really worth to be seen. If you are lucky you will see people wearing Middle Ages costumes and even dance as gentlemen and ladies used to (though this was a special event, so cannot guarantee this will happen all the time). The main garden is nice and give you access to a very old wall that used to be part of the town's ramparts. There is a nice cafรฉ. This is a place where you can enjoy relaxing times after walking hours in the crowded castle of Warwick! Recommended.

    We really enjoyed our visit to the hospital. It is a really special historical site, and also has wonderful gardens. The presentation is simple, with some historical information on cards. The Brethren who live there are maintain it are very friendly and entertaining. A great treasure in Warwick.

    Quant little place, complete opposite of the severely commercialised Warwick Castle. Lovely old boys at the entrance, and friendly staff throughout. Lovely and well priced food in the Brethrenโ€™s Kitchen.

    Amazing place for a wedding. Food was amazing- vegan options were fantastic! Friendly staff and well organised. Would recommend for events and just for a visit!
