Stunning place , and it's definitely visiting. Great and restaurant. We had a lovely late lunch at the Burghley Cafe. We ran out of time to see the and (which I deeply regret) because it looks pretty spectacular. You can walk around the small off of the cafe and the close but all else must have a paid entry ticket. I hope to return and see the whole estate. Burghley are really beautiful and a visit. The space feels peaceful and well looked after, with lots of flowers, trees and little paths to explore. I enjoyed walking around and taking my time because every corner had something different to see. The are big enough to wander without feeling crowded, but still easy to get around. It’s a nice place for a quiet walk, photos, or just sitting and enjoying the surroundings. Definitely a spot I’d recommend if you’re nearby. A beautiful Elizabeth stately home with amazing and a deer park. The inside is absolutely stunning. The courtyard sculpture and fountain area are a frequent where you can sit in the stunning and have a picnic near the lake. I'm happy to say this is on my doorstep. How lucky am I What a wonderful place! The is amazing, friendly knowledgeable staff and stunning decor. The and the sculpture walk however are even better. Wanted to go back for more as soon as we left. Well the entrance fee Beautiful palace! Lots of the walkable are free, while the house, and adventure park need tickets. This being said, it's definitely the price, we have found them very enjoyable and an amazing day out with the kids. The could be more kid friendly, prams are not allowed and when the baby got hungry we got asked to leave and feed her elsewhere, then come back. Made things a bit tricky! I can understand not allowing snacks and drinks but usually baby milk is allowed Beautiful residence and more beautiful gardens. The is one of the Pride and Prejudice 2005 film location, if you're a film fan. The are superb, with extensive grasslands for walking or picnics. The landscape is enriched by little rivers, fountains and sculptures. Inside the area, also a small 'garden of surprises' that will love. There are two very nice cafes, the shop and a cute shop, and a play ground close to the parking space (parking is for free). Tickets are both combined (house plus garden) or just for the (or the house). Art pass holders get a discount! Totally reccomended for a cultural day, or a "green" field day, for families, singles, couples, friends... We went in early November before the closed for the winter. We were very impressed with the amount of space for to run around in. The surprise was good although the first set of mirrors were ordinary mirrors when we thought they might be fun distorting ones. The mirror maze was great...easy to lose your children! All the trees were very pretty in their autumn colours and the lake is nice with some benches if you want to sit and take in the scenery. The gift shops and cafe are good if a bit pricey. The was lovely. We enjoyed having the freedom to walk around ourselves instead of joining a tour. Amazing frescoes and history. Included in the entrance fees were leaflets for both the and gardens. Maybe the could do with a few small signs to give you an idea of where you are going but overall a very enjoyable day at a reasonable price. What a fantastic day!!! Great entertainment for to do, the was stunning even those we wizz round due to toddler age however great book to entertain for older children. Love the ceiling especially the heaven and hell stair. Great cafe, great shop to browse however can be pricey for family size. Disabled can be a struggled, however I have noticed there are wheelchair upstairs and downstairs with stairlift operate but may have to find assisted who are not far away from it. There are plenty of toilet everywhere and bin provided. Amazing to see the area tidy. Plenty of walking round the and inside the garden. Best is visiting the moles adventure playground. The amount it spent on is very popular for to play. Great way to entertain young toddler at front ending with older playground at the back joint with sculpture next to it. The moles I absolutely adore even I attempted to take him home with me ❤️ Great day out, a , we Def come back asap. Amazing estate for every age. The staff are well versed with the history and the is very beautiful. Its a must go! Don't forget to orangery after your and try some good food. Incredible residence, amazing grounds. The (featured in "The Crown" TV Show, "The Baman" movie, etc!) is wonderfully preserved, and coupled with eloquent, well-informed guides at every turn for you to get extra knowledge, the whole experience is a treat. Well the admission fee. They provide a mean Afternoon Tea in the "Orangery" restaurant, too! Came here as a Historic Houses member. We'd never been here before so we thought we'd investigate the plus there was a food event on with lots of stalls. Loads of lovely grub not only to eat there and then but also to take away, such as jams, brownies, pies etc. The themselves were lovely and the sculptures interesting and curious. Lots of things to do for little ones too such as an Adventure Park. This place is absolutely stunning, such a beautiful and the art on display here is insane, the ceiling murals are just mind-boggling with the detail and expanse of them. The staff/volunteers were really friendly and had plenty of knowledge, but were not pushy or overbearing, always saying hello and then letting you decide if you want to ask some questions. We just couldn't get over how amazing the rooms were or how every inch of them was a treasure. Its clearly well loved and well protected. A great historic family home, that is managed by the Burghley Trust. Which makes it possible for the house, to be open to the public. In this you find out about the history of the house, the country as well. Staff are friendly, knowledgeable and willing to answer questions. The has a shop that sells a range of various things (books, jewellery etc). In the house's it has a sensory garden. There is a shop and cafe. There is a woodland adventure play area. There is a large deer/ sheep park where concerts, other events have been held. Spent a lovely afternoon at their of Surprise (Historic Houses Members get in free) with my Assistance Dog (Welcome everywhere in the and house) looking at all the sculptures, and relaxing. My dog managed to ‘smell’ his way into and out of the mirror maze. I would have been lost! The has a lot of charm, and well having a look in. The park was a fair size, and the Lion Bridge looked spectacular. They will refill your water bottles in the courtyard cafe where the toilets are. Access for the disabled is well thought out. Paths are tarmac for Disability scooters, ramps to the toilets, and parking for Disabled right next to the wall, next to all the main entrances. Parking is free. Well a visit. It's a glorious place and enjoyed both the and the gardens.
