Visited 31/12/2022 using family membership (highly recommend, great value). Lots of parking (car park 1 & 2, car park 1 has child spaces and disabled parking too). lots of accessible, well maintained paths, great for bringing little ones . Lots of people walking dogs and water stations for dogs at locations around the site. Cafe is at the visitor centre along with the gift shop and good seating (including wall bench) for the cafe including outdoor. Great national trust site and highly recommend a visit ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Possibly the most impressive house I have ever been to. The building itself is mindblowing and the volunteers know so much about the property and its history. There are some downstairs sections at the start but quite a few stairs are involved and there was no sign of a lift. I don't know if dogs are allowed inside the house, but there are ample gardens to explore and plenty of walking space on top of that.

One of the most impressive gardens I have seen at a National Trust property. There seems to be adequate parking here. I managed to find a shaded spot in the first one. You walk through the start of the garden past the coach house exhibit to reach the visitor reception. The house is just beyond this at the start of the lake walk. The volunteers in the house were knowledgeable and friendly. Lots of interesting artifacts to look at and information boards to read. After that I took a path following the lake perimeter. The variety of plants is stunning and very well maintained. I then visited the gardens to the rear and side of the house which are spectacular. I only had the chance to spend a couple of hours here due to my schedule. You could easily spend all day here if you had time for a picnic.

Very dog friendly and people friendly too. So many hidden gems on the expensive and well maintained gardens. You could visit many times and still find things you haven’t seen and places you missed. I loved it more than even Hampton Court. The food was great and the entire staff is friendly and welcoming. I love this place. This was my second visit and I plan to go again and again.

Beautiful elegant home with manicured gardens, tea room with selection of light meals, drinks and snacks. Friendly, helpful staff available to inform or direct. The grounds and paths were wet after recent downpours, and some areas were quite slippery, but I was forewarned to wear appropriate shoes. Squirrel hide had helpful information on the walls. Unfortunately, no red squirrel was seen. Selection of walks to choose from throughout the grounds. Colours are starting to sprout. The selection of trees was impressive. Lovely afternoon out. It was really enjoyable.

We spent a half day here which was worthwhile. The house was big and had lots of history in it. Nice walks, views and gardens. You can have your lunch as there are many benches. Plenty of public toilets available. It's advisable to bring your own lunch and drinks as the cafes were always so busy.

Beautiful castle, interior with a beautiful colour scheme of the ( green ) coulered walls and floors. Beautiful gardens. Really one of the best we have seen. And we have seen a lot. And if possible do our greetings to great volunteer Colin with a friend in Vriezenveen. He is great.

What a wonderful visit we had at the National Trust property at Mount Stewart. Most of this beautiful stately home was open for public viewing. An amazing glimpse at how the aristocracy lived their lives. The house, gardens, lake and walks were just superb. Even in late summer the gardens were beautiful. Highly recommended visit.

Beautiful place and beautiful park. Would recommend entering the main house as well. A lot to see inside the main building. Many very important pieces of history that are worth seeing. Gorgeous place overall. The most beautiful National Trust location I’ve seen so far.

A beautiful place, historic house, amazing formal gardens and woodland walks around the lake and the wider Demesne. Also a lovely tea room and shop.

Lovely drive no matter the weather. The Ards peninsula is beautiful. Didn't find a lot for the kids here other than the walking trails but they did love building a den at the nature park. A family ticket cost £32 which is strong money in my opinion. We enjoyed our day but will be a while before I would be back.

Gorgeous surroundings for a walk, there's multiple to choose from. Cafe has just been refurbished and has a good selection and not too expensive. The main house is worth a look round, absolutely stunning inside. Covid measures are in place throughout. Parking can get quite busy, not nearly enough parent and child spaces.

One of my favourite places. Beautifully kept grounds and a large lake with swans. Lovely big house which us now open to the public again. Short walk round the lake or walled garden. Longer walk to a view point or couple of mile walk around the perimeter. This one has hills and at the minute is very muddy!!!. In the summer therea bands on and its a great place for picnics. Very sheltered on a bad day. Lots of parking.

Beautiful house with an amazing interesting collection, a homely mansion house where the owners still reside. Gardens are beautiful and offer a range of walks for all ages.

£11 pound adult entry. Very nice house,each room has a guide. Gardens have some interesting plants and trees. Worth a visit,takes minimum 2 to walk around.

We had a lovely day here on Easter Sunday. The staff are super friendly and I like that there is someone in each room to give you general information about the room and its history. We then had a nice walk about the gardens and brought some books from their second hand bookstore. It was just a general nice day.

Great day out!!! The tour of the house was brilliant but the absolute stunner was the gardens.......

Stunning gardens and house with a shop and a cafe .The volunteers have a very good knowledge of the history ,we were most impressed. Easily the best National Trust Property in Northern Ireland.

Lovely place for family day out. Bring your lunch with you and enjoy fabulous gardens and beautiful walks. If you forgot about lunch, always can buy something in Tea Room. Friendly staff, gorgeous landscapes. What more you can expect from place like this. Highly recommend!

Great place to visit. The house and gardens are a pleasure to go round. The gardens are easily accessed by the disabled. Also a great little cafe serving hot and cold food and drinks.

The walks are relaxing, nature, and scenery Beautiful, You can sit down at the coffee shop just outside after a long walk. Interesting history of that place really. If you are around Bangor, please go visit the place preferably go in the morning as you can spent almost the day to see most of the place.

Great place to spend your day. Gardens are really well presented and kept - great trails around the estate. Dog friendly with an option to sit outside with your dog to eat food. All volunteers extremely helpful.

One of the most beautiful gardens I've ever been 😍 Staff are lovely and very welcoming. Villa it is just marvelous.with really interesting facts and beautiful antique paintings and furniture. You can tell ,people who are working in Mount Stewart are really passionate about their jobs and it shows !! Thank you and we will definitely be back

Stunning house set in wonderful gardens. The staff were very knowledgeable and chatty. We really enjoyed the time here. The gardens are substantial, but I didn't feel they deserved the accolade of being one of the top 10 gardens in the world. They are a bit overgrown in most places and a bit sparse in others. I suspect they are suffering from lack of care through the COVID years. Having said that I'd definitely recommend a visit.

Northernirelandholidays visited Mount Stewart to see the world famous gardens, which are voted in the top ten gardens in the world. Because of the location which is protected by warmer water of Strangford Lough there are plants from all over the world as they are able to grow here. There are 70 acres of gardens where you will find all sorts of beautiful and exotic plants and trees. Today we just visited the gardens but you can also visit the house and take a guided tour. Whatever you decide you will not be disappointed, it’s truly a beautiful place to be. Take your own picnic and book and just sit by the lake or in the gardens.

An outstanding historical house and gardens with informative tour and very good facilities including cafe. Enjoyable through all seasons. Combining the walking trails (south of the entrance) with the gardens offers a couple of hours of walking with plenty of interesting heritage and natural beauty features. It’s worth walking up to the Temple of the Winds to take in the Strangford Lough views.

Staff were so helpful showing us maps and ideas of where to go on our visit. Sadly the main house was closed but there was still lots to see. Coffee shop had gorgeous carrot cake and coffee on offer. Will definitely be back. The views are stunning, even the drive to get there!

We came for a holiday from London and was recommended by some local friends to come here, we found it is totally worth visiting, the venue was on the seaside with beautiful views. The little ones enjoyed their ice lollies in the beautifully decorated tea room.

Beautiful place to visit, had a lovely day out with the family, my mum throughly enjoyed the house tour given by Paul and very much enjoyed visiting all the gardens, the rose garden was amazing and smelt lovely, the lake walk also lovely and gave us some fantastic photo opportunities. Would most certainly recommend to anyone to visit this hidden gem.

One of the best gardens on the British Isles. Easy access, good toilets, lovely tea-room and kiosk, very friendly staff. Perfect destination for a great day out. I love it ❤️☘️

Beautiful house and gardens. Very great for photographers and walkers. Very colourful in the autumn due to the large amount of trees near the lake. Definitely one of the best National Trust sites in NI!
