Sandringham Estate

Lovely visit here on the royal estate,plenty of car parking which was £5 for the day, the house and grounds are very well maintained as you would expect,downstairs in the house is interesting with things left just as the royal family like them, shame you can't look upstairs but still worthwhile, we walked to the church which you can enter and purchase various souvenirs if you wish. There are plenty of toilets and a good tearoom too,we had a very enjoyable day😀

Oh my, where do I start?! This was my second visit to the Sandringham Estate and most special. As a treat we booked the Exclusive Access Tour which included a beautiful afternoon tea. We arrived on a day in August which turned out to be very damp when we arrived. We were advised to arrive ahead of our afternoon tea which commenced at 15.00 to give ourselves plenty of time to visit the church and gift shop. The gift shop had so much wonderful merchandise and the visit to the quaint church was a delight. To image the Royals worshipping there at Christmas felt surreal. Just before 15.00 we made our way over to the restaurant next to the gift shop and cafe and were warmly greeted by staff and shown to our table. The restaurant is beautifully decorated and spacious with plenty of room between tables too. Afternoon Tea arrived with glasses of Prosecco or apple juice as an alternative. Tea was served on the most beautiful china and looked absolutely stunning. It all tasted as good as it looked! We enjoyed every bite! Leftovers were kindly placed in boxes for us to take away (or put away in the car since we were heading to tour the gardens and house next!). However, just as we were finishing tea the heavens opened with a long lasting downpour. It was torrential. So much so, the tour manager had to confer with the estate manager to discuss what to do. All I can say is they pulled out all the stops to make our exclusive tours top class exclusive indeed!! I won’t go into details but all I will say is that they had to get special permission to give us a very different twist to our tour! Wow, wow, wow! Thank you Bob!!! The changes which the King has made to the front lawn is just amazing. I could not believe my eyes as it was literally just a lawn previously and now it is bursting with flowers and a maze!! I wonder what The late Queen would have made of it?! The house is so charming, so many treasures for the eyes to take in. It was so lovely to be part of a much smaller group after the estate is closed to the public, to be taken around by the dedicated tours guides to hear all the lovely stories about the house and our beloved Royal Family. Honestly, we had the most wonderful afternoon and evening that I’d do it all again and again!

This is a very big estate and has lots for people to see and do depending on budget too, The car part is drive in pay on exit we paid £10 for the day. The outer ground are then free to walk around and there is a very nice kids play park. We used the restaurant and this was very nice and felt posh which i liked as after all you are on Royal ground now. The food was very good and the service was good too i would recommend. We paid the extra to go into the Gardens and House which for two adults and one child was £54. The Gardens are well looked after and worth a walk around the stables host a cafe were we did partake in a coffee and cake stop. The views of the house are very good and looks very nice. The House we did the tour which was shorter then expected as its a big house but we did not see it all, its a walk thought tour with people in each room telling you about each one or you can get an audio head set at £5. The rooms are as expect posh its ice to see where the king and our past queen spend and spent Christmas together and the dining room were they have Christmas dinner. The house has a lot to see and seams to have a Asian theme to it. Sadly you are not able to take photos or video inside which is a shame. It was well worth a visit.

Visited for my birthday and had a great time. The house and grounds have a lot to explore and can easily spend the whole day there. You can walk around the area without needing to pay for tickets into the house & garden with a small play area for children as well. Would advise prebooking car parking to save the hassle on the day and the shop has plenty of things available to buy for gifts and snacks. They also had some gluten free cake available in the shop

A fabulous few hours spent here, a full day is definitely recommended. We saw a few rooms in the house, no photos allowed which was a shame as we couldn't even purchase postcards of the inside of the house at the shop. A wonderful jade collection and outstanding decor. Stunning gardens. Interesting Fire Engine museum and a collection of Royal cars through the ages. Some lovely staff who were more than happy to give you information, a couple of rather curt members too.

What a beautiful place to visit. Lovely place to walk, especially with your dog. With a chance of seeing our King and queen.

Divine place to visit. The cream tea is a must, superb, the best we have had. Outstanding staff with a passion for the estate and devotion to their majesties. We travelled from Bristol for this visit, so worth the travelling time. Do pay the extra to visit all areas. The church has so many family personal touch remembrances. The staff actually make the estate a 5 star visit, extremely knowledgeable, so friendly and approachable. Everyone genuinely seemed so happy and helpful.

Fantastic place to take the dog and our young grandchildren. Very pleasant seating areas, food available from the cafe, or nice to take a picnic. Plenty of water taps and drink bowls for dogs. Just did the Luminate trail which was amazing.
