Arley Hall & Gardens

Fabulous gardens. The herbaceous borders are stunning. Lots of different gardens which are all well looked after. The cafe was good too with delicious meals( salads, quiches, jacket potatoes, soups, sandwiches and a few main meal options) plus yummy cakes.

Beautiful Arley Hall. Visited a few times and had a lovely lunch sat outside facing the hall. Dogs allowed around the gardens.

This property has limited opening to the public but it is well worth searching out for when the days are. You may well have unknowingly seen the house in such tv shows as peaky blinders and coronation Street.The house is still lived in by the family and so no internal photos are allowed. There are guides in most room , all of which are friendly and knowledgeable. The house is beautiful as are the gardens , though there was heavy rain when we went to look. There is a cafe , shop , childrens playground and a garden nursery on site. Historic house members get free entry.One word of warning the long road in is particularly uneven in the early part.Def worth a day out at.

The hall was closed on the day of our visit but the gardens are beautifully maintained and full of colour. The chapel was also worth a visit. Lots of seating strategically placed in each garden to enable you to sit a while and just enjoy the sights and sounds

The colour combinations are beautiful! All around the conservatory glasshouse the same. I want to give a shout out to the kind helpful garden staff on his tractor offered to help me pushMum in a wheelchair back to the car park. I declined but thank for being thoughtful. Much appreciated.

Brilliant place to visit. Both the gardens and the house are stunning. The house, used for many a film set, including Peaky Blinders, was beautiful, and staff are very friendly and informative. Luckily the house was open when we visited, it isn't always, so check before you visit. Photographs prohibited in the house unless in the film room, but outside the house was much photographed by us. The Gardens were stunning to walk around, and it was love to sit outside in the cafe and enjoy our lunch in the sunshine ... decent prices too :-). Bbq food on offer when we were there too. Beautiful place; beautiful day. Will definitely return.

Lovely house and gardens is beautiful, although the house wasn't open the day we went, but lovely from the outside.

Ĺovely day spent wandering around the beautiful grounds. We couldn't visit the house because there was a wedding on althoihh they had someone playing music outdoors and we enjoyed that. Reasonably priced food in the restaurant and a lovely courtyard with plenty of seating.

Arley is a truly lovely place to visit for people of any age. The gardens are so peaceful and beautiful, particularly on a summers day. For keen gardeners, the garden shop/nursery near the entrance has plenty to tempt you!There is a play area with small zip wire, swings, a willow maze and picnic tables. There's also a short path which loops through the adjacent woodland area.The house is a smaller stately home than some, but no less impressive for this. The library is particularly impressive and has provided the scene for a number of TV dramas.The little Chapel next to the hall is worth a visit- again, very peaceful and atmospheric.The cafe has good offerings for snacks or a light lunch, there were vegetarian and vegan options too.Finally, the staff are lovely - particularly the very friendly lady on the front desk on entry to the hall - a credit to this place!
