Absolutely beautiful place. The house and gardens are stunning. Little cafe in the church series tea and cake, there is also a library where you can enjoy browsing all sort of books. It's a fantastic place!

Such an interesting house. I love that it is in its original state. You really get to see what the houses are like hundreds of years later. The ceiling in the kitchen has never been cleaned, it's the original grease and soot that they work under years ago. The windows were neat too. You can tell the difference when a pane of glass was replaced. Glad this house is looked after and the history can remain.

Amazing place to visit - a time capsule that you can walk through. Beautiful place which has been preserved as it was - a family home. Sad that after 400 years the family had to take the decision to pass to the care of the National Trust but a decision that has clearly proved to be the best one as it has preserved the house with the care abs respect it so deserves. Fascinating to walk around and lots of very lovely knowledgable guides to speak too. Well worth a visit and we will no doubt be back at some point to walk through the gardens.

Beautiful, old National Trust property. Not grand or particularly large, but very interesting. Impressive plaster ceiling in main room. Gardens small but interesting. Note (1) there is no tea shop here, but the church next door sometimes offers drinks and snacks (2) the car park is a few hundred yards away up a hill from the property.

The National Trust have stayed with this property's slightly neglected appeal, which was how the property has been for many years due to financial constraints on the owners since the civil war. A beautiful property and gardens, well worth a visit, although the car park has good walk to it, so be prepared for a walk down a hilly field. There is assisted parking nearer to the house.

Lovely place very interesting, the staff were very informative , it was really to be able to look round the rooms and here the history of the people who lived there. There was tea and cake being sold in the church yard in aid of the church. Beautiful little church. Will definitely be going again as I would like my partner to see it

This is a unique property. NT have preserved this house as it was found. You won't find a cafe or NT shop at this property but the church next-door serves tea and cake. There is a short walk from the car park to the house but blue badge holders can drive down to park next to the house.

What an amazing place! Had never visited before. The volunteers were very friendly, helpful and informative. They had an excellent little explorers kit that the children could take round to discover things. My daughter loved it. Such a clever idea. The place itself is an absolute gem. Frozen in time and absolutely fascinating. Highly recommend!

Small but perfectly formed. A delightful National Trust property. No tea room here per se but tea, coffee and cake provided at a very reasonable price in the church next door to the house. I believe the local Scouts volunteer too. When we visited in November it was prepared for a Christmas festivities exhibition which was very interesting. Would like to visit again when it's warmer weather and the garden was more in bloom.

Really good NT location. Only downside is the parking arrangement where if disabled you need to drive up to the higher car park to get a ticket to go back to the lower one. This should be sorted really. Place itself is super interesting and well worth a visit

I really enjoyed my visit to Chastleton house. The house is really a time capsule as items used by the different generations of the family which lived there have been left in tact. The staff give you a very warm welcome which is lovely. They also love sharing their stories about the residents of the house and the items on display. Highly recommended!

Visited the place just before the closing, and even then, it was quite busy, meaning people are interested in the place. Loved it because it felt like the owners just woke up this morning and went to do their daily stuff. Doesn't feel like a museum, more like you visiting someone's house.

Small and interesting house. Original features are still there from the 17th Century. Gardens are well looked after and beautiful. Very busy on the weekend as the property is only open for four hours in the afternoon. Steep walk up a hill back to the car park, so those with mobility problems may struggle. There is no tea room but a small church next door, which sells teas and cake. House isn't too far from Moreton in the Marsh or Daylesford Organic so you can make a full day of visiting somewhere else too.

It was a very nice place to visit,short walk from main car park. Friendly welcome at the entrance, helpful and knowledgeable staff great atmosphere with log fire etc Nice gardens to walk around,with a chance to play croquet on the lawn. There was a nice touch in the upstairs function room,a box of items for children to try on hats,wigs etc. Lots of thought has gone into making this a great day out for all ages.

Impressive large Jacobean house with beautiful gardens. Tea/coffee and cake in adjacent church. Very good visit.

Unlike many grand stately homes, the owners of Chastleton House were not rich aristocrats with titles. Instead, they had to offer tours of the house just to raise enough money to cover basic operating costs. When the National Trust took ownership, it decided not to restore the house to its full glory, but rather leave it as it always was - a dilapidated family home, almost untouched from the day it was built. There is no shop or tea room here, but there is a kettle and honesty box for visitors to make their own cups of tea / coffee, and a small selection of biscuits. Sometimes cakes are available from the church next-door, but not during our visit. Some rooms were closed due to a lack of volunteers, so perhaps call on the day to be sure all of the property is open. The car park is located down a narrow and winding country lane, and involves a moderately steep walk down a field to reach the house.

Beautiful location and very friendly. The house and gardens are kept in a very honest way. Tea and cakes were also fantastic. Thanks

A house full of surprises, especially the long gallery, the guides were so welcoming and knowledgeable. The gardens are beautiful. A bonus is afternoon tea served in the church next door. A wonderful way to spend a Sunday afternoon.

Completely different NT experience here. 400 yr old Manor house originally lived in by Catesby- he of the gunpowder plot - and lived in by members of the same family until the 1990's. Found in dreadful disrepair and has been made safe but not restored. It's like a time capsule with history through those years.

A quaint time capsule of a Tudor/Elizabethan Manor. Left as it was when the last owner left the premise to the National Trust, only light repair work and conservation has been done, which really adds character and a lived in look instead of that of a museum. But what has survived though is a marvel. The path from the carpark to the house is steep, and it was raining when I went, so it can be a bit slippy. So good footwear is advised. There's a video to watch in the barn, which gives you a good introduction to the house before you go in. I will definitely go again when the weather is better, so I can have a look around the garden's as well, as the bit I did see was very beautiful and idyllic.

Fabulous history to the house... unspoilt, with lush well kept gardens. We enjoyed tea and cake in the church graveyard. The guides in the rooms were very knowledgeable and happy to answer posed questions. Check what time the place opens we turned up at 11.09am on Wednesday and it didn't open until 1pm...good job we had a picnic and the sun was shining.

A beautiful house very unusual as the trust keeps it in the condition it was when they acquired it to reflect the long term erosion of funds of the family reflected in the lack of update of furnishings and decor. As usual the trust volunteers were friendly and very knowledgeable about the property and happy to share their knowledge.

The house has been more or less left untouched in 400 yrs. So, it gives a good insight into how life was lived. The building, however, is not so good if you have mobility issues. Access to the ground floor is difficult, and access to other floors out of the question. No café, but occasionally, tea/coffee & cake is available and run by volunteers in the church.

An unusual National Trust property as its very much unaltered in many ways since it was built in Jacobean times, because the family never had money to update to latest fashions or build extra features in the latest architectural style. Very much crumbling grandeur and preserved as that by the trust. Plenty of dust and cobwebs to be found in this property! Highlights...home of croquet, the long gallery, original kitchen and how did they put that fantastic ladder up in the cellar!!

Truly unique and amazing site. What makes it really special is the volunteers who explain the history. Some of the best we've talked to. If that's not your thing, there's sheets in every room to read. But the better experience comes from engaging the volunteers. Again, the house is a hidden gem in the NT collection.

Now in the care of the National Trust this is a lovely Jacobean House - a three storey house now - missing its forth storey servants quarters! A marvellous long gallery on the second floor cries out for a party! The gardens are worth a closer inspection and tea and cakes are on offer in the 12 century church adjoining.

Great place to visit for a afternoon as it only open from 1 O'clock the house is well worth a look around as there as only been little restoration to the house. A must see it the wooden ladder in the cellar I would guess it is 60 foot long.The garden is well worth a look. There is no restaurant at the NT but next door is a church which is open which serves Tea and cake only. Have a look round the church yard we found two grave stone of interest.

Gorgeous house! But that's almost a given with the National Trust. What's been incredible here today were the staff: knowledgeable, enthusiastic and always ready to help! Oh and the coffee cake (home made!) Absolutely fab!
