Very enjoyable visit. Well presented and preserved house, made all the more interesting by the enthusiastic volunteer staff. The highlight of the attractive and well maintained gardens is collection of immaculately trimmed Yew trees. The short walk around the lake in the garden leads onto a longer “wellie walk” for those with more stamina. Good standard National Trust cafe. Worth a visit.

Visited with a 2for1 voucher. The grounds are absolutely stunning and so vast. There’s so much to see. Woodland, gardens, curated trees, water, geese and sheep. Also a cute cafe and gift shop, didn’t get any food so I can’t comment. Staff are nice and answered all questions. The house is beautiful and full of history. Car park looked full but once you’re inside it doesn’t feel crowded at all because of how spacious it is. Would love to come back. Can easily spend a whole afternoon here.

Very interesting house and the gardens are lovely. Be sure to visit the yew tree garden and walk up the spiral path to the lovely canopy tree top and take a seat, sit down and take 5 minutes. Spot the house through the narrow slot between the two yew trees. Really love place to visit.

Had a thoroughly enjoyable time at Packwood House. We went at the weekend and even though the car parks were quite full, we managed to find a place. There was a small queue to get in the property grounds, but it was the weekend. The staff at the door were friendly and asked if they wanted us to visit the property and gave us timed entry to tickets to the house. The house was interesting and well presented and the guides were on hand to tell you about the history of the house and grounds. The gardens are beautiful also. There is a formal garden attached to the house and there is a more naturalistic one outside the garden fence. We stopped by the cafe for a bite to eat. There was a bit of a wait in the queue, but we got seen to in time. I opted for a jacket potato with beans and cheese. For the price you pay, I got a half decent sized potatoe, with a generous portion of beans, cheese and nice side but if salad with coleslaw.

Well maintained house and a nice garden with a beautiful water body. Reasonably priced cafe. Lovely walking paths. Only disappointment is that the Yew gardens, which is the main attraction was closed for the winter maintenance. You can still get to see the Yew Gardens depending on the availability of the guided tour. Will be going again to explore the Yew gardens.

Lovely place for a visit. Beautifully kept by the National Trust. There is a road that splits the estate in two but it has a 20mph speed limit so crossing from the entrance and coffee shop part to the main house and lake is ok but still worth being very careful if you have kids. There is a wonderful kitchen garden on the side with the shop and cafe that is easily overlooked so keep an eye out for the entrance via a short ramp from the area with picnic tables. The main house is fantastic and the gardens and lake are tranquil and beautiful. There are also a variety of sun dials which are interesting. It's a great place to start to set off on a variety of lovely walks through the surrounding countryside.

Lovely flat walks, countryside, seasonal changes. Compact house n gardens with colourful well tended borders- and the famous yew tree garden. Great cafe. Compact gift shop. Events throughout the year.

Nice place to visit if you're en route. Pleasant gardens. Fairly quick to walk round the house. Didn't stop at the cafe but the meals looked good and some visitors were having a cooked breakfast.

Beautiful gardens, with scenic trails around the woods and lake. You need a ticket to enter the house as it's timed entry, but it's worth going round to see the original furniture and layout of the property. There's a room dedicated to the last owner before the national trust took over, with lots of interesting facts. Make sure you visit the kitchen garden over the road from Packwood house, accessible through the picnic area outside the visitors centre (by the ice cream vendor). It's a sight to behold.

No map of the grounds or for navigation throughout the house. No timed tickets given for house tour upon entry. The volunteers inside the property were pleasant and knowledgeable. Gardens were absolutely beautiful. The house wonderfully restored in Tudor style. A variety of plants are available, but would have been nice to have more included that have been grown in the gardens than what was on offer to buy.

Very nice house, although you can only see the downstairs really. Very dark inside as curtains all drawn shut, this is to protect the interior. Gardens were being worked on by lots of gardeners ready for spring and summer when they are superb. Topiary garden was closed for restoration. Worth a quick visit in Winter but definitely worth it in the summer for the garden alone.

Another gem in Warwickshire from the National Trust. The house is a really interesting house with lots of history and a great story. The guides are knowledgeable, friendly and happy to answer questions. Don’t leave with a nice walk round the gardens aswell, definitely worth a visit 👍🏻

Good place to spend couple of hours. Saw too many visitors trying to enter the house without ticket (timed, not bookable). So make sure to get one from the reception. I advise not to miss those short walks. Packwood house is located across the road so watch for vehicles especially if you are going with kids. Lovely garden with Yaw trees, perfect for taking pictures.

Lovely place to visit. My wife and two children (12 & 14) walked around the beautiful house and grounds and really enjoyed our visit. The rooms have been kept in the same order as the last owner requested and the full history of the building is on display to read. There is a cafe on site and is actually not too far away from another National Trust site. There is plenty of parking and toilet facilities are available.

I have to say we were a little disappointed with the house. Not many of the rooms were actually open and those that were open were very dark. I appreciate that this is to preserve the soft furnishings but sure there is a compromise over this. By contrast the Yew garden was fascinating, and information about how the NT are trying to manage the trees was very interesting.

Had an absolutely wonderful morning here recently. The sin was shining, the daffodils were out looking beautiful and we really enjoyed our visit. Theres some super interesting history to the house here and we spent quite a bit of time talking to the NT guides about various parts of it, they were really friendly and happy to chat and answer questions and share their knowledge! The gardens and lake are also beautiful and especially the tree garden - dont miss the special secret tree hideout at the very back if you visit. Was a fab little place to discover. Our son enjoyed spotting and counting th many many sun dials that can be found all over the house and grounds and even on the family gravestone at the church! Lots of lovely grounds to wander about it and we followed the circular walking trail (the 3 mile one) that goes about the wider estate and past St Giles church and graveyard (which is also really interesting and worth stopping and spending some time looking at). The cafe here is q purpose build so spaced really qell and they have a great selection of foods and drinks plus lots of lovely icecream options. There is a mix of indoor and outdoor seating too. The gift shop is small but plenty on it and also has an outdoor area with plants and garden decor on sale Overall we can see why this is such a popular place and will definitely be one qe return to :)

A well maintained garden with yew trees and an interesting manor house looked after NT. NT trust staff were very welcoming and provided excellent brief about the history of the house. A good restaurant and a mobile buffet on site at the entrance. Car park near by. Booking is recommended.

Great day out, plenty to enjoy the gardens and the house,walks around the lake and beyond into.the Woodlands, very historical features architecture and antiquities, Definitely recommend a visit.. Fantastic cafe with fabulous views overlooking the Warwickshire countryside, small garden centre and gift shop..to buy a treat..

The garden and the park are perfect place for relaxing. The volunteers in the house are incredibly friendly and informative, they know a lot about the history of the building and the owners. Huge thanks to them for the interesting stories.

They were a bit late opening the gardens on the day we visited, but everything else was good. The staff have some great stories about the house so don't be afraid to ask. The gardens are beautiful even in September

Amazing,beautiful historical place. Perfect for a family outing. The last entry to the house was too early and they closed minutes before us and we didn't get to see it. I think it should be longer during the weekend as it is quite crowded. We will definitely visit again!!!

Lovely place to check, consider wearing proper shoes if it is not sunny outside. You will find this place very peaceful and quiet at the beginning of the day, but it might be locked until 9.30 or so

I will give it 2 stars instead of 1 because they do advertise the site as having one paw on their dog friendliness scale. It should have zero paws, that would be more truthful. If you have a dog, don't bother, except for the claustrophobic courtyard, there is nowhere you're allowed to go. It's unclear why dogs on leads aren't welcome, but their rules I suppose. Just be truthful. Anyway, if you are unfortunate enough to find yourself there, do yourself a favour. Turn left before the entrance, towards the little beautiful church. Follow the route, across the road and into a wonderful wooded area. Lots of space, comfortable paths, beautiful nature. Honestly, probably better than what the NT has to offer. Actually well worth it!

Such a nice National Trust! Margaret was SO knowledgeable, she's a true asset to the place! If you can, catch a garden tour - especially in the winter months as you get to see closed areas that are so worth it, it's very interesting. Elizabeth the tour guide was great. Don't miss this property!

A beautiful National Trust in a quiet area of Solihull. I came here with my friend and we both loved how peaceful The Yew Garden was, definitely my favourite area. Highly recommend if you want to put a great podcast on and get some steps in or walk around the grounds with a friend over coffee.

16th Century. Packwood house and gardens are truly marvellous , well worth a visit. The upstairs of the house is still being renovated, the downstairs looks amazing. Outside, there is a lot to see, so you need sensible shoes, or trainers.there is a lovely lake, with geese and swans. There are Beehives. A magnificent huge yew garden. Cafes, picnic areas, with lovely wooden seating.. Plus a large car park. The staff are very helpful.

Lovely house set in beautiful gardens. Plenty of parkland for country walks and a fabulous cafe serving delicious food - a great day out.

Another interesting stately house and grounds, unfortunately we could only go round the downstairs, upstairs was out of bounds. Three or four different walks, good for kids. On one side of the road is a large car park, shop and cafe with picnic area and toilets. Across the road from the car park is the house and gardens. There is a nice lakeside walk which brings you back into the garden. There are loads of trees, all shaped, reminded me a bit of Stonehenge for some reason, don't know why, was just the way they have been planted, might be just me. Then there is one on its own, steps leading up to it, pathway goes round and round, which gives you a high rise view of the house between the trees. Well worth a visit. Wheelchair friendly, wheelchair hire available as well.

Excentric house, lovely gardens with some hidden treats and some good walks around and about. Some weirdly missing information in the leaflets left us with many questions though and there are SO MANY CLOCKS!

Fascinating house with great gardens. Well worth a visit and with nice walks nearby

Another great National trust site to visit. The house isn't big but worth going, lovely grounds to walk around and the house still has a moat. Beautiful gardens to boot

This is a National Trust property so if you are a member you have free entrance. The adult fare is £12 which is good value considering all that you can enjoy. The day we came the weather was pretty wet. We were so thankful the staff gave us umbrellas so we could enjoy the gardens. The house itself is small but full of historical interest. As you would expect there is a small shop and tea room. If it had not been so wet we would have spent much longer in the gardens.

Could only see gardens as house was closed but well kept beautiful gardens. Worth a trip

Lovely to see how the kitchen garden has come on since it was renovated. One of my favourite NT kitchen gardens.

Enjoyed the day. Food, great. Scenery, immense. Just a Perfect Day Out.

So lovely to be back and rejoined the National Trust. The staff are fun and friendly welcoming you back. Great bargains in shop too.

A stunning Tudor Manor House, with beautiful gardens and grounds. Most of the house has been restored using reclaimed materials so that it is near to as possible as it would have been in the 16th century. It was then donated to the National Trust so that it would preserve all this beautiful work. The staff are super friendly and very knowledgeable, happy to answer any questions. Unfortunately some of the gardens were closed off due to the time of year along with part of the house. Only the ground floor was open. These parts do reopen for spring summer so a great excuse to visit again. There are also some circular walking routes. Wellies recommended if it has been raining.There is a cafe and gift shop on site and plenty of free parking. Admission prices are reasonable, free if you are a NT member. Highly recommend a visit, I will be returning for sure.

A childhood conker collecting fave that I now visit with my daughter. Perfect length walk for little legs and the cafe and food garden are great.

Great historical house and gardens. Easily accessible by car from central Birmingham. A good day out for families of all ages. Close to Baddesley Clinton with pleasant walks around the estate.

Beautiful full of history lovely visit nice size cafe reasonably priced with seating both inside and outside there is a toilet next to the cafe and also outside in court yard a small gift shop. Staff are very helpful,friendly and the volunteers in the house have a lot of knowledge to share making the experience great. The gardens are fantastic full of colours.

The house is not huge but very nice inside and packed with interesting collectibles - furniture, tapestries and other things. A lot of love went into it especially from the last owner. The yew garden is phenomenal. Plenty of parking space, there is a big cafe and toilets. Fantastic and knowledegeable staff. A must see, plan 2-4 hours depending on how much you want to go into the details. Note that house visits are timed, take a ticket at the visitors centre.

We have a personal interest in this property as my grandfather grew up here for the last 30 years of the 19th century. It was interesting finding out more of the history of the place and how it had changed since then. The volunteers were all very knowledgeable and helpful. Gardens were still beautiful despite the drought. The cafe is a new development and the kitchen garden has been restored in the last 10 years. Lots to see, worth visiting.

Very intetesting house and history. Only the ground floor open, but all the guides were extremely helpful and friendly. The yew tree area was shut but looked stunning from behind the gates. Lovely snowdrops everywhere. Warm and well stocked cafe.

A very good example of a traditional tutor Manor house which still has its original furniture. There are a number of walks in the grounds and a lovely topiary garden to view. Also there is a working garden where much of the produce sold on site is grown.

Plenty of car parking available and entrance close to the car park, you will need to join the tour to walk into the Yew tree enclosure as it is now closed. The guided tour was very informative and provided lots of information about how the gardens are planted. The welly boot trail is a nice walk but not clearly signposted. Some of the steps are steep without handrails.
