National Trust - Moseley Old Hall

A lovely find just north of Wolverhampton. A fascinating history explained by a very knowledgeable House guide whose name I'm afraid I cannot remember. Well tended gardens which contain, among other things, a Medlar tree which I have never seen before. There is a tea room serving a small selection of pastries and light bites. There is a lovely Tudor ambience to the place which I found delightful. A lovely way to while away a couple or three hours.

I have wanted to come here for quiet a while and today we made it. Decorated for Christmas with evergreen. The snow was an added touch. We joined a guided tour given by Colin which was informative, interesting, entertaining and made me realise my lack of English history. Definitely will return in the summer to enjoy the knot garden and maybe learn more on their other tour. Small but nice cafe, second hand books and delightful ducks.

One of the smaller NT properties and grounds but still plenty to see. The children enjoyed the games on the grass and the tree house.The gent in the kitchen was wonderful, full of knowledge and very entertaining.The only thing that let down the visit was being asked to start upstairs as a tour was just being started downstairs, fair enough we didn't mind, but before we had even finished upstairs, and bear in mind it's not the biggest house so not lots of rooms, they were ushering us out as the tour wanted to go upstairs and took presidency over us.

Fantastic place to visit full of history. This place is particularly lovely to visit when the weather is decent. There are some lovely meadows and woods with fantastic areas set aside for you to build dens, play games, or just sit and take in the amazing views.Charles II hid here while fleeing from Cromwells soldiers in 1651. The priest hole he his from and the bed he slept in are still there today. There is even a letter written by the king to Jane Lane (a lady who helped him on his journey from the house to safety) on display. The gardens are beautiful and the cafe is lovely. Drinks and food are fairly priced, and they had lots of lovely baked goods available.Parking wasn't an issue with plenty of spaces available.Be sure to talk to the guids on the way round as they are full of knowledge and stories!If you love history, or if you don't, this really is a beautiful place to visit

This is a particularly well run National Trust site.Activities are available for children in addition to plenty for adults to enjoy too.The tea room is accessed from some stairs. It is well stocked.The staff are well trained, presentable, friendly and engaging.The gardens are extensive with woodland to wonder about in too.The house is well presented and has plenty to learn about.

National Trust - Moseley Old Hall is a historical house, a garden and cafe as well. You can bring your kids if they are interested in history. it is free for the National Trust membership. There is a car park free for everyone.

Entry was free as we'd signed up for one free entry ticket which is valid until 18th of October at any NT location for up to 2 adults and 3 kids. We had a lovely afternoon exploring, plenty for all ages to explore and do! We enjoyed walking through the meadow and woods, my partner loved climbing the tree house and finding a big daisy for our child to admire. Volunteer that we spoke to was very informative and friendly when talking about Charles II and the hall itself. Tea room was good, although not a wide selection of sandwiches were available in the fridge unfortunately. They have a good selection of savoury pastries, but I think nearly 4 pound for one sausage roll by itself is abit much. All in all a fab time was had and we would definitely visit again.

Fantastic little gem, with a very rich history. Ran and cared for by national trust. Fantastic guides who had super knowledge of the house. Plenty of rooms to explore and beautiful gardens to walk around. They had a load of games for kids in the gardens, den building, and a tree fort. Has a cafe, gift shop and large car park.

Very nice historic house, run by the national trust.A tenner each to get in.Everything is well looked after and when we went, there were numerous volunteers around the house explaining the different rooms and the history of how King Charles II was in hiding and on the run. I think the tree that he had hidden in is closer to Boscobel House which is nearer Wolverhampton town centre.All of the furniture inside is period correct, which is basically hand carved. The textiles are all hand made and interesting. There a load of oil paintings around the house. Finally, there is a room which highlights some of the specific historical trinkets. Loved it.The gardens are really nice. There a few games for the kids to play. There are a couple of bookshops, a cafe and tearoom.We were probably an hour all in. Didn’t have time for afternoon tea. Maybe next time.
