Great area and few good hiking trails around. The park has free roaming deer that add up to the atmosphere and the scenery. The estate itself is impressive. On weekends the park is pretty full with people with their kids. Worth mentioning is that in there is a golf course running through the park that can be annoying when the golf players are asking the visitors to stop or be aware while they are playing

I loved visiting Knole House. The history of the house was interesting, and the many volunteers were knowledgeable and eager to share their knowledge with you. The house and the grounds are beautifully maintained. The deer on the property are descendants of the original herd brought to the property. Many different plants are on the grounds. I would recommend a visit to Knole House.

Wow what a place. Surrounded by acres of well renowned deer parkland, I can honestly say I can't remember seeing so many portraits in one place, it is absolutely mind-blowing. The architecture throughout is stunning, anything from marble and timber carvings, to incredible wall friezes and ceilings. You will get lost in there, but wow what a jump back in time. Allow a good 1-2 hours, depending upon how much time you wish to stand and admire. It can get extremely busy, and for that reason, tickets are now arrival-time allocated on their booking website. A very good idea and at least it prevents horrendous overcrowding. If you want to go up the tower for a view, do expect a queue on busy days. For nibbles there is a small restaurant and table space indoors and out. Again, this is very popular. If you just want a takeaway coffee, there is a separate servery for this, which saves you queueing half-hour for a mocha! As for the grounds, they speak for themselves really. A beautiful walk with nature. Loved it.

Loved this place. The free book you get when you join the National Trust doesn't do it justice. We were blown away! Deer roaming freely. The house itself is amazing. The grounds are immense. Just fabulous.

Beautiful walk around the grounds. Great for buggys, bike and wheelchair users as there is a path. There are some inclines, it's not a flat area but it's quite manageable if you take your time and you should because it's such a beautiful place, you shouldn't rush it! We didn't go inside the house this time but we've done that before. Great NT cafe with lots of indoor and outdoor seating and very good food and service.

This place is huge! Four hundred rooms for one family, and it's stuffed with unique furniture and artwork spanning hundreds of years. The volunteers are very knowledgeable, I had several fascinating conversations over the course of the day. Personally, I have mixed feelings about the history of the family and how they acquired so many beautiful objects, including the current residents. But there's no denying that without them, many priceless artefacts would not have survived to this day. The grounds are very pleasant for picnics and walks, but take care where you wander or you'll be dodging golf balls. On a more delightful note, it's highly likely you'll encounter a deer or two.

Absolutely stunning. Beautiful house and beautiful gardens to walk around. Lovely to see the deer around too. The house inside is lovely, and so much to see. Lovely to see it’s kept it’s authenticity. Well worth the money if your not a NT member. The cafe was nice and has a gift shop. The staff inside the house are amazing, very knowledgeable and we’re happy to talk about the history of the house. Lovely to see how well cared for this place is. Will be coming back soon. Well worth a visit and would recommend coming for when it opens as there were cars queuing right back to get in when we left

The house is magnificent. But i just write the review to warn you that my GPS misguided me to a closed gate of the deer park. Make the GPS guide you to Knole Lane or St. Nicholas Church (Sevenoaks) to be sure that you reach the right entrance to the park, because the area of the property is really huge.

It's a truly fantastic destination for hiking or spotting wild deer, surrounded by golf clubs. The entire experience, complemented by the exceptional National Trust staff, is delightful. The castle's unique gift shop and the nearby cafe add to the charm. The inclusion of family activities for children makes it a wonderful idea and an overall great place to explore.

Magnificent house set in a huge estate with great walks through the woodlands, and deer park. Mind out for the golfers though as a golf course crosses the estate. Had fun searching for all the snowmen in the park. Nice views from the top of the tower, staff and volunteers are very friendly and cheerful, even on a freezing cold day. Large café with outdoor seating, serving the usual NT fayre (but the festive turkey baps had sold out 🙁).

Beautiful estate, with so many great paintings. Worth asking some questions to the lovely volunteers here as they are so knowledgeable!! The park is full of deers so make sure you have comfortable shoes and your camera ready...

One of my absolute favourite places to visit with my daughter. It's hard not to be in awe of the vastness off the grounds and castle when you arrive and look around. The grounds are beautiful and filled with Deer, you can explore and get lost for hours if you want, or just have a quick stroll if you prefer. The house is absolutely magnificent, the grand hall, grand staircase, cartoon gallery and the stunning bedrooms transport you back in time and the giant paintings everywhere bring the place to life because you can imagine those people strolling through the rooms and corridors. You can come forward in time to the early 90's as well and explore the gate tower where Edward Sackeville lived, and climb to the top for panoramic views of the house and grounds. Definitely worth a visit, you'll be amazed at what you find!

A fabulous grand country house and extensive wooded grounds. Held in National Trust. A long and interesting history of this property makes it well worth a visit. If there is time a walk around the grounds and through the woods should give good views and sight of the many deer, but watch out for stray, flying golf balls..! The cafe/restaurant has a good selection of freshly prepared and tasty food. Nice to see there is plenty of seating both inside and out.

Glad to discover history, paintings, books and nature.... there are plenty of things we enjoyed on a visit to Knole. A very beautiful, neat and pleasant place where we could combine relaxation with a bit of history.

Very interesting day out. A visit to the Conservation Studio is a must. Lots of wild deer roaming in the park. The house is amazing as well as the Tower that not only has great views, but was also a home. How they managed to get the furniture up the spiral staircase is a mystery.

Knole is definitely worth a visit! The volunteers exhibit an exceptional level of knowledge and passion about their subject, which I always find admirable. Their dedication adds a wonderful dimension to the experience, enhancing the historical and cultural significance of the place.

Great place to visit. There are plenty of areas to walk and fascinating house, although partially closed in winter months.

Always a lovely place to visit. Plenty of open spaces with perfect photo opportunities of both the landscapes and the wildlife. Designated picnic area as well as a cafe, shop and lovely bookshop. So many places to stop, sit, and take in nature.

It’s a lovely castle , perfect getaway from the big city , it’s south of London in the heart of Sevenoaks market town . Beautiful castle with big collection of art and well preserved furniture.The staff it’s very polite and knowledgable. The Castle is surrounded by huge park with a lot of walkable alleys where you can see rain deers too . Lovely day out with family and friends . Thanks to National trust 🙏 Coffee shop and merchants shop on site and huge car park is available . Have fun 🤩

What you can see of the house is interesting and the grounds are massive and great for a walk or run with kids. It just opens a little late 10:30 for parking and 11:00 for the house and you have to prebook the NT car park.

A nice place to visit and enjoy a day outside London. We went on a nice sunny day to Sevenoaks and it took us 15 minutes to walk to the Deer Park and from there to the National Trust. The Knole estate is beautiful and is definitely unique with the things displayed. You will see beautiful paintings, a stunning wooden staircase and a prehistoric elk horns. You can also climb the tower and enjoy the whole view of the park. The staff were informative and helpful throughout our visit.

Very grand 400year old house with lots of character. Visit the The Royal Oak Conservation Studio to see the marvelous work the National Trust team are doing to repair and conserve items from all their properties. Various signposted walks around grounds with deer roaming free.

An interesting NT place. They have what's called show rooms which are a bit like a house which has lots of orlements and paintings in it. There's a wonderful collection of stuff to see butnitndoes feel a bit dark inside. The tower is definitely worth a visit if you can handle the spiraled staircase to get to the top. There's a couple of little rooms on the way up before you get to the roof. Once up there you will find a lovely view with information boards explaining what you can see.

Interesting and historic building with lovely grounds for walking with deer roaming free. The private gardens are only open on certain days, and tours of the attic and 'secret passages' (servants passages) are offered occasionally - check the website if interested in these.

An excellent place to visit. Lots of large open parklands with deer wandering about. Lots of trees for kids to climb and interesting woods for exploring. The house itself has a cafe and gift shops and a little interest if you like historical buildings. The grounds have a good collection of giant oak trees, sycamore trees and sweet chestnut trees.

This was one of the few places we could find open on a Thursday in December, but we had a great afternoon! It was freezing even inside, so wrap up warm. The house was really interesting and we had fun spotting leopards. The room guides were some of the most knowledgeable and friendly that we have ever met. Loved the Christmas decorations!

Pre booked a car parking space. Visited the main house, amazing furniture and portraits. Always useful to be able to speak to the knowledgeable National Trust staff, who can tell you so much about the exhibits. The Conservation studio is also very interesting.

Lovely open grounds with well maintained paths. Lots of trees, plants and wildlife. Strange walking through the golf course but just added to the experience. Great toilets and cafe too. Will definitely return as there is so much more to explore.

Lovely place. Deer pretty tame but lovely grounds and great for a walk or a chill out. Prices as per usual a bit much on the cafe but if everyone who goes is a National Trust Member then need to make money up somewhere else. Ham and cheese role 4.50. A lemonade 3 pound 10. I'm suppose I'm to used to my meal deals for under a fiver 😁😁😁 loved it tho.

A stunning place, lovely walks around the surrounding park, lots of deer roaming about. The house itself is very interesting and every guide is knowledgeable. If you can handle the 70 plus winding steps up the tower the views from the top are definitely worth it. Some good restoration work going on in the barn as well. Music buffs can visit the locations of the Beetles videos for Strawberry fields and Penny Lane.. Ample parking, well worth a visit.
