Lovely house and grounds. As expected of a nation trust property. Very well kept. Unfortunately upon my visit the house was closed for maintenance yet spectacular grounds were open. Parking is ample. If you have small children or bicycles you do have to cross a road from the car park to the grounds so do be careful.

One of the best NT sites we've been to. We visited at Easter and there was a treasure hunt for children which was really thoughtfully planned out and not too strenuous for little legs! We saw the deer and lots of wildlife by the lake too. You can see a lot in a short distance if mobility is an issue or you have small children, but there are some longer walks as well and it didn't feel crowded even though there were lots of cars in the car park.

We stopped off at Charlecote park during our travels from our holiday in the Peak District. Initial thoughts were stunning grounds, well-kept and located in a peaceful/tranquil area, and it only got better. There is a walk from the admissions building to the site, which includes crossing a road, and following a stoney path up to the gate house. As you approach the gatehouse on your left is a enclosed outhouse toilet block for public use. As you pass through the gate house you are greeted to a spectacular walled garden which leads onto the house itself. The house is your typical Tudor style manor, but in brilliant condition. As you reach the walkway to the front door, you have two gates either side which lead on to different parts of the grounds. To the left are more buildings, the main cafe area and gift shop, further on is the carriage house with preserved carriages inside for public view only. Unfortunately the bridge that leads onto the greater woodland area does not permit dogs (even on leads) as the trust is working to support the local deer population. However, the views are stunning and if your as lucky as us you may see the deer gracing close by. To the right of the house is the Victorian kitchen and a small cottage made entirely out of branches and other forms of wood, nicknamed 'Grannys summerhouse'. Unfortunately, we did not have time to tour the house, however we intend on returning if we are back in the are again. Overall, a lovely, picturesque national trust site, perfect for couples and or families. An ideal stop if journeying up or down the country.

The park around the property is really what made our visit a wonderful and serene time. It was such a pleasure to wander around the park; everywhere you look, it's always like a painting is coming to life in front of your eyes. Absolutely beautiful. the house itself was lovely, only the ground floor is open to visit but it was interesting enough. The cafe offered some good options for lunch (better than your average National Trust cafe I must say) and all the staff/volunteers we interacted with were nice and friendly. Really a great place to visit on the weekend.

Lovely house and gardens to view. We had popped to the famous welsbourne market before coming here for a lovely walk and lunch. We have visited many national trust properties, and this one had beautiful rooms and gardens. The grounds and house are very well maintained. It has many pictures, artwork, and furniture of ages past. All encompassing a lot of history to read about and experience walking around. The tulips stood out brightly in the spectacular grounds to stroll around too. There is plenty of parking over in the main arrival area and ticket office. You cross the road and walk down the long driveway from there. We managed to catch sight of some deer whilst driving past but not on the walk around. There are two cafe/ coffee shops options, we went to the orangery. Highly recommended whatever the weather.

A beautiful house, garden, and estate to spend a day. Easy accessible by public transport. Bus stops just outside of it. It's so beautiful and big. Nice to see Deers and other livestock roaming around. People and kids were enjoying taking pics of lovely deers 🦌 and ducks . It is having a lovely garden beside the river. A beautiful lake to roam around. Estate is having plants and good walking paths. It is having shops and restaurants. Good areas for picnic and play around, relax. Ample of sitting benches. Recommended for visit.

This was our first time at Charlecote park and we only walk round I would say half. The house is stunning and will look amazing when it's finished inside. The grounds are fantastic to walk around and next time we will have a dog. Really is a most visit place

What a beautiful house and gardens to visit. At the moment ONLY the ground floor can be viewed, due to heating repairs and restorations being done. Very busy today, but still it's nice to see the kids enjoying themselves.

Such a great place to visit. The grounds are big enough to have your own space, the deer are lovely to see and that would enough, but the house is also beautiful with some incredible history (though currently the upstairs is not open due to work). If not an NT member, not sure I'd pay to see the house while the work is ongoing. Had a very peaceful and relaxing time.

Always a lovely visit. Deer were out and about. Kids loved the Peter Rabbit trail

Charlecote Park is a great place to go for a day out. The gardens and house are currently closed due to COVID-19 but the parkland is still open and still worth going to for a walk. You need to book in adavance and live locally but it's definitely worth it although if you've never visited before I would wait until everything is open again. There are two cafés but both are closed currently Everything is wheelchair accessible.

First visit and we immediately fell in love with it . Huge grounds to explore . I really loved walking by the river . We saw lots of deer in two different locations . These seem very tame . The mansion is a very handsome building but it only has a few rooms which are open to the public . We enjoyed the carriage block and the brewery plus the kitchens. There's a cafe in a lovely courtyard and a restaurant set close to magnificent cedar trees. We had coffee and scones. Ample parking . Toilet facilities including disabled. Lovely gift shop . The gardens were popular with lovely views to the river and some great seating . We spent two hours there and hadn't seen everything but were on our way to Stratford to see a production and have our picnic there.

A National trust property, which although not having many rooms to visit , they are all have a fascinating history and are stunning. Volunteers and facilities are all top notch. Parking is across a fairly busy road.

What a great place to visit. We borrowed 2 mobility scooters, which were free of charge and very well organised. Full instructions given on site. The grounds are stunning. We ran out of time to go in the house, but you could take a picnic, they had games for families to use. Would definitely visit again when I had mire time.

Beautiful 17 century Tudor and Victorian style house. Better to reserve tickets online before you visit. Free car Parking at spot available. Property has two cafes and fe benches beside water stream. If you fancy a picnic its a good spot.

National Trust owned so admission fee applies, plenty of parking. The Hall has five lower rooms to view. The main building is going through extensive renovation at the moment. Gardens well kept, outer buildings housing several 19century coaches, kitchen areas able to view. Gift shop, tea rooms, second hand bookshop, toilets available. Able to walk in surrounding countryside with deer prominent, must keep to paths and dogs not allowed in the deer park, otherwise plenty of other paths to walk on to explore. Good day

A beautiful place to visit, very friendly and welcoming. It is a wonderful setting too. We visited the house first and although only a small part of it was open we were met by such lovely knowledgeable people it was a pleasure to wander around. There was so much more to see that was under wraps for the time being, so we will have to go again, happily. After the house there are magnificent grounds all around where you can walk amazingly close to the deer who just sit there without fear. There are many places to picnic or sit and watch the world go by. We will definitely return to do more of the grounds and buildings as they open after the new heating system and renovation. Well worth visiting with or without families. The Cafe was OK for light refreshments, cakes and Panini or sandwich style food but was quite noisy and small so could be crowded quite quickly. We took our takeaway coffee and brownies out into the grounds where we found a secluded bench in the lee of a yew hedge and watched the deer in the brisk spring sunshine. What more could we want. Thanks Charlecote Park.

Lovely walking in the grounds by the river and almost tame young deer. The house is being renovated and mostly closed off at present but due to reopen in the spring of 2023. Worth a visit.

Beautiful grade I listed country house. It sits in 180 acres on the River Avon and has its own deer sanctuary. Had a lovely walk around the grounds. At the moment, the house is only open at weekends, 10.30am-1.30pm. There is a tea room, a shop, a second hand book shop and a plant shop. Very enjoyable day out.

Lovely, beautiful place. Good for a day out visit. Alot to see as you walk around the grounds. We'll maintained and looked after. And would highly recommend visiting

Awesome place with plenty of stags to admire. A great walking route around the premises and some really nice views to take in! Parking is over the road and is free to National Trust members. there is also a garden centre nearby which is a cheeky add on to your trip!

Great Manor, one of the best and most complete overall experience ( well explained history of the Lucy family, beautiful first floor rooms, quirky decorations, different buildings to visit, stables, servant quarters, kitchen, laundry, brewery) in the South. The park is a very nice walkabout, including fallow deer and Jacobs sheep, a mini lake and swans. All together a great day out, with picnic opportunities weather permitting. One of the best National Trust managed properties we have visited.

Fab

Loved it here . Beautiful staff was lovely

Nice parkland. Great covid precautions. We love this place for a gentle stroll in quiet, deer filled grounds.

Lovely place for a walk & To see the Deer 🦌 cafe open for Takaway food and snacks

So much space to be peaceful

Great place and so local

Great trails and plenty of dear spotting opportunities! Look forward to returning when the house is open again.

Visited on a very hot Sunday, plenty of spaces in the car park and then a small walk over the road to the grounds. We also visited the house which although there were less rooms than other national trust house sites was pleasant. Cafe, shop and second hand book store on site as well as plenty of space for picnics.

Beautiful open spaces, with deer, the River Avon, and the first buds of Spring. The house is limited to the ground floor but talking to the guides brings it to life. The Orangery serves good food in a pleasant setting. Easy to get to and worth two or three hours.

Not worth the money if you are a dog owner. £11 entry per person (£13 for the house), which is a bit excessive just to walk around a park. The map shows we can only walk around 50% of it too, due to the other areas being Dog Free for the grazing animals. Should be half price for dog owners 😂 Won't rush back. I've been to better parks and nature reserves that were completely free.

A beautiful place. The entry fee and parking is free if you're a member (the membership is definitely worth it). The house and outer buildings are very interesting. There's a lot of activities around the grounds, which is ideal for children. There's a café which we didn't go to, 2 locations for toilets, a gift shop and a small second hand bookshop. The grounds are lovely. Please respect the deer sanctuary zones. You will see them without going into those areas! As well as the funky looking Jacob Sheep. If you have a dog, I suggest picking up a map as there's only certain routes they can be walked. ~ There's also some signs by trees which tell you the species, as well as other educational points scattered around.

A top location if you’re exploring NT locations. It is mostly well maintained while left to have a classic and nature charm in the gardens. The cafe was great for the family to have some food - it is a little expensive. I’d recommend as a nice day out to spend a few hours walking around and appreciating the manor.

Excellent place to spend the day with family. Gorgeous views, kids can play, visiting the mansion is a must, and having a picnic or a delicious meal at one of the two coffee shops will put a smile on your face.

Made a last minute visit to Charlecote this afternoon to hopefully dodge the bad weather. Delighted to be informed of a private tour of the house at 3pm for an extra £3 donation each. What great value and Matt was so friendly, funny and informative. Loved it!

Late Oct 23- great place to stop en route to Leamington from West Midlands. Lovely grounds, water logged in parts so unable to walk all of it. Still great. Roaming deer and stag was delightful. 3 cafes mean you can pitstop well. Main House closes earlier than park (2.30pm / 5pm ) Good to see active recycling. Fascinating Lucy family tree recreated in Gatehouse as you enter.

A beautiful country mansion set in the most beautiful part of the country. Great walks around the grounds plenty of ducks and dear just a fine place. Theirs only 5 rooms open on the ground floor at the moment post covid but I understand that over the winter they are going to redress more rooms back out from storage. I think we will go again next summer on our travels

Beautiful deer park, with a fantastic history-packed vistorian house, happily situated amidst it. Lovely to see herds of deer, freely roaming in this amazing 180 acre National Trust premises. We return here for peaceful walks and just to winde down. Highly recommended.

Free parking, £11 for adults to walk around grounds, two dog friendly cafes. Gift shop, second hand book shop and small plant shop. Plenty of toilets. Lots of friendly deer you can get up close too. Clean and well looked after grounds. Good for a picnic too.

This National Trust house only had 3-4 open rooms, and at Christmas, these few rooms were partially coved by white paper decorations which was a bit disappointing. Outside the house had a small carriage and kitchen areas, small shop, decent used bookshop, and nice cafe with a few options, as well as many walks. Toilets were older style but clean. If going for the walks or already a National Trust member that is in the area it's perhaps worth a stop.

A super walk through the parkland at Charlecote. It’s a great trail for walkers with some awesome scenery. You have the river to walk along, a small lake to walk around and you will also get a chance to see deer. The paths/trails are very well kept - with plenty of signage telling where to or where not to walk. Toilets are accessible via the main buildings and there is a lovely cafe if you fancy a hot drink or something to eat. We spent a few hours exploring with 2 young boys and they loved it.

We visited and were amazed! How beautiful! stunning scenery and landscape. The house was unbelievable so much history to see and enjoy. Staff were friendly and helpful. Very clean throughout. A fab day out if you want to take the family and reasonably priced

Beautiful national trust property with wonderful staff. The sign posting for the property from the road was fantastic. The only thing that made me give this place 4 stars is that there are some gates, leading to areas that you can visit, which are very hard to open. I would have loved to explore these areas, but there wasn't anyone to ask for assistance. There were some nice games and art experiences on offer for children on a less rainy day 🌧

We liked the house although only the ground floor was open. The best bit was walking through the many meadows and there were plenty of benches to sit on. We were pleased to see the Jacob's sheep, as well as some deer gathered under a tree allowing us to take photos.

Lovely National trust property, Gardens and Park. Plenty of history of the Lucy family with the current generation still living in part of the house. The upper floor of the house was closed due to some repairs work carried out, but the downstairs rooms itself was wonderful. The gardens are well maintained but this year it seems due to lack of staff had not got many flowering plants planted in the back garden. Lovely park with serene views. Had deers and sheeps all around the park. Good day out on the weekend and well worth the visit. Waiting for the Christmas decorations to see this December... All staff/volunteers friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. There are timed tickets to the house on busy days so ensure to come in early as they do get sold out on busy days.

Incredible National Trust with so much to see! We visited in July and saw lots of deers roaming around which made our visit! The house is nice and the gardens are beautiful! Highly recommend

Nice location shame some of it is closed. Hrest visit when its open.

Really nice. A bit of a wet day and would love to visit again when Covid is over

Good nice fresh air, nice to see reindeer

Nice open space with MANY Deer...

Fabulous walk with the deer and the coffee shop was open .lovely xx

Always a wonderful stop off for a walk and a coffee

The ticket is a bit expensive

Always a nice stroll around the grounds

Yeah it's alright. I know it holds the national tryst badge .. but its not really worth it's fee. Thankfully we hold cards and it is 5 min down the road so don't feel the pinch of "going for a walk to look at deer".

Winter month,but Gods creation is beautiful any season.lovely deer in park and pleasant walks in grounds with river running through.

Plenty to see with the local wildlife and animals. Beautiful church with loads of lovely open spaces (just watch out for the poop on the floor) lol. Beehives are visible by the water, such a lovely sound to hear and educate my children with when walking around. Lots of ducks for the children to feed 😍 Would definitely recommend!

Well must be a nice place to visit when everything is open. Today only grounds you could Explore. House and gardens been closed. On the site nice views towards House and river Avon. One pond and the church you can step inside. But together spent only about a hour there.

Lovely place for walk house is amazing too but tier 4 means it's not open at the moment.

Very pretty & peaceful. House not open today as its early November but parkland is beautiful to stroll around. Lots of fallow deer & Jacob sheep

Very peaceful and lots of things for the soul to enjoy as you walk around the different parks especially the deer, they run around amongst people and stop and look at you and probably ask themselves why are disturbing us. The coffee shop was open and their tea tasted very nice. Due to Covid-19 we couldn’t go inside, also some gates were locked, but still there was plenty to see.

It is a lovely place to visit, from socially distanced courtyard coffee to a lake side walk with the additional choice of longer parkland walks. There are so many joys plus all the covid safety measures the National Trust is great at. It was a fantastic day out.

Nice place to visit during the COVID. While the house is currently closed the grounds are open and it's a nice walk around the deer park. Staff were very friendly and doing their best in the circumstances. Good cafe service.

Small but perfectly formed. Couldn't go in the house due to current circumstances but beautiful grounds for an afternoon saunter! Cafe open for nice hot drink to warm the hands!

Great spaces and walks for everyone with grand views of the deer -all very misty and atmospheric today

Fantastic walks around a fantastic estate. Very Covid aware during these times. Recently walked inside the deer park, marvellous animals. Good cafe for takeaway, and toilet facilities. Will return when house open again.

It is a Beautiful Parkland

Lovely country park for a day out.

We booked a walk-around visit today, it was excellent! Plenty of walks and not so many people, it worked well and extremely safely.

Brilliant national trust place

Enjoyed it, but wanted to go in the house still closed.

Lovely parkland, great place for walks.

Easy to find. Huge, free car park. Take-away cafe open. Superb walks, mapped and signed. Really good to be close to the deer herd. Sad that the buildinds were closed but really enjoyable anyway.

Large open area of parkland. Numerous mature trees and well drained pathways. Ideal for a breath of fresh air

I love this place. So much space to walk and the herd of deer roam free, beautiful to see. Friendly safe and cafe is good too!

Spent half a day walking the grounds and a nice coffe at the cafe

Late afternoon walk with the dog. Didn't book but OK at that time of day. Really relaxing, not too cold, we really appreciate living close to such a lovely place.

Very enjoyable walking seeing different wildlife nice pannini from the cafe

Very good experience.

Beautiful walks with deer as an added bonus

Lovely venue, nice walks. Not overly pram friendly but was manageable with a decent size wheeled pram and the mud .

Great walk around the grounds.
