Houghton Hall & Gardens Norfolk

Fantastic day out, We explored the House, grounds, walled Gardens all wonderful. The Model soldier exhibition was amazing. Lovely cafe and gift shop with amazing local produce. Definitely worth a visit

We had a very interesting visit to this house. The gardens are very popular. The wisteria was at its best and to walk through the wisteria walk was a delight for the nose. The flaming fountain was another very interesting feature. The art installations were very thought-provoking, not always to my taste, but mostly very impressive none the less. The collection of model soldiers was very interesting for my husband. The dioramas were very well done. So much to say about this house, I'd sum up with well worth a visit. Food in the cafe was very good too. we had sausage rolls and they were very tasty.

The most beautiful house and gardens. I visit every year because the owner is an art lover and has amazing exhibitions by leading artists, mostly sculpture and installations. This year is Stephen Cox. Last year was Scully. Previously Richard Long and Gormley. The volunteers are outstanding. Knowledgeable, charming and go the extra mile to facilitate your visit. This year I needed a buggy to go round the walled garden, but it was no trouble and entirely free. There's always wonderful plants to buy, and parking is free. The cafe and shop are full of local goodies. I'm always sorry when the season ends, but look forward to the next year's exciting developments. What's not to like!

Did the gardens and grounds. Gardens beautifully presented - well worth looking round. Saw the herd of white deer laying in the shade of a tree - stunning site. Very nice cafe with indoor and outdoor seating.

Such a lovely day! Our ticket included entry to the toy soldier museum, the art installations and the house itself. The grounds with there free roaming white deer are breathtaking and the guides in the house friendly and knowledgeable. Our 4 year old and 8 year old even enjoyed touring the house and exploring the art around the ground. A very enjoyable day!

Beautiful gardens and inside the hall. Not worth paying £24 to see both. You must be a good walker to visit, although disability buggys can access a lot of the areas. Spoiled by the lumps of shaped rock distributed about the premises (exhibition?), which offset the true artwork of the past. Staff were very friendly. As mentioned, admission should be about £12 to access the area. Nice cafe.

A stunning house with rich history, and a beautiful walled garden. We spent almost five hours in the grounds and enjoyed every minute of it! Free parking.

We visited today, the last day of the season and found the whole experience really interesting. The estate is beautiful and its history is fascinating. We met a very warm and welcoming member of staff in the house called Dave and then went on to meet Chris Boxall in the library. His knowledge and passion was absolutely incredible! We learned so much from him. The house, cafe, grounds, art, gardens and sculptures were all so wonderful to see. The staff the estate employ are a credit to Houghton Hall’s heritage. So glad we made it this year and will definitely be back! Thank you for a fantastic experience.
