Belmont House and Gardens

Great place to come at any season. The areas so beautiful, peaceful and well maintained.House is closed unfortunately for winter. So, we will be definitely back there again.Gardens are open all year around from 10:00 am to 6:00 pm or until dusk.In general, we have spend an enjoyable time at gardens and surrounded area.There is self service at the cafe ( to purchase drinks, cakes or sandwiches) and the gardens ( if you want to purchase any plants). There are boxes provided for your to put money in.The car park is reasonable size and free of charge.Definitely recommend it!

Really enjoyed our visit-group of 3 lady friends. We visited to see the falconry display but also bought tickets for house and grounds, plus 2 visits to the cafe.A lot of it works on trust and honesty-garden only tickets are via an honesty box. Ditto, once the cafe closes for service, supplies are left out so you can make yourself a tea or coffee and pay in honesty box.The lovely guides were helpful and knowledgeable and one of our party chatted to one of the owners in the orangery.A lovely house to visit, such a warm and homely feel

I went to Belmont House for the first time recently.It was a lovely sunny day and fairly quiet.The grounds are very well kept and picturesque.The staff were very friendly and it is a nice place to visit.I took lunch with me, but there is a place there to get drinks.The toilets were clean and tidy.I really enjoyed the gardens. I will be going back to see inside the very grand house.The only potential problem is the very narrow roads that lead to the house. If you meet a vehicle coming the other way, there is very little room and the 'passing places' are in a very poor state with deep ruts. Quite hazardous.

Only had time to enjoy the gardens but looking forward to seeing the house. The trees are wonderful in a lovely park. Load of other plants and gardens. Silent about 2 hours roaming. Then desperately needed the cafe which had a limited food menu but was quite good. Plenty of choice for drinks. Lots of models McAfee of wicker of animals in the garden.

Beautiful grounds and wonderful house. We had a guided tour on a Sunday morning here, and our guide was very knowledgeable and gave us lots of info on all the details. The house is in an amazing state inside and out, and there is lots of furniture to admire. The gardens are beautifully kept and the whole place is so peaceful and grand!

Lovely gardens. House was closed. There was no staff to help and the cafe was self service with a trust box. There is a lot to see in the well maintained gardens. Some produce and plants for sale, again with trust boxes.

Firstly I would like to say the Gardens are absolutely beautiful.They are well kept and it was so lovely to walk around themon a beautiful day. I've never seen so many beautiful dragonflies in my life.However, 3 stars? There is confusion upon admission fees. I didn't book mine online, I turned up to find there is a small octagonal shaped building, called the “Tack Room” which is their so called pay point. I placed £20 in the pay point to cover the House & Garden tickets which are shown as Adults: £10.00 each both online and at their site.Upon arriving at the House we were asked to pay a further more £8 each? Baffled by this, I had explained I had covered the admission price back at the pay point, not to mention the prices are on the door of the house. Sadly they denied us entry and I was not going to pay a further more £16 for the two of us. The staff were friendly and their were no hard feelings. What is annoying is their management are fully aware of this but have yet to sort out this issue. Many have made the same mistake as I. This is why I am only giving the site a 3 star, despite being honest with my admission I didn't get to see the House that I had rightly paid for.So my advise would be, don't use the paypoint at the site, as you get no proof that have you have paid your admission fee. Make sure you book your visit online so you are covered and have proof that you have paid and what tickets you have purchased ie garden, garden and house etc.

A beautiful House to visit with its famous hundreds of clocks, (no not all ticking!) There are lots of very friendly, knowledgeable guides in many if the rooms who will chat to you about items, history or just generally be there in case you need them. It feels very welcoming as it isn't roped off and you can wander round freely.The grounds are really fantastic. There's so much open space and wonderful, naturally maintained plants, trees etc. There are plants and fruit to buy too in season.There's a lovely cafe and car parking.Payment is by honesty box which is so refreshing.A wonderful place to visit.

Had a great few hours hereThe house is lovely and has lots of interesting things to see including the marvellous clocks of all kinds! Its very well kept and clean and bright.Gardens and really well tended and beautiful The orange blossom smells amazingCafe was good too and very reasonably pricedGreat staff friendly and knowledgeable

We had wanted to visit here for a while and, having done so, were not disappointed. Lovely gardens to stroll around with so many different layouts. However, the house itself and the collections were excellent. Each room had a guide who initially gave us a brief background to the contents & decoration etc. and then answered any questions we had quite thoroughly - an ideal balance of enthusiasm and conciseness in their presentations, they really brought the experience alive for us. Our 40-minute" self-guided tour lasted well over 1 1/2 hours
