A little hidden gem. The has so much character and charm. It's great fun exploring the various rooms and learning the history. The volunteers are all very friendly and helpful. The gardens are but well maintained, and we did a really Easter trail here. There's a and plenty of free parking. Interesting old building. to walk around. Had guided talks and helpful staff. Concessions for children and carers. Has a nice cafe. Some haunting gkjngvin upstairs in the main hall apparently if that’s your thing! 👻🏛️ Another gem for the national trust to be looking after a big playground for the kids or adults toilets 🚻 spotless and clean dogs allowed on the land but not in the and only on the outside of the cafe. A car park free for members and blue badge holders £4 elsewhere. A big picnic area gets busy on hot days and school holidays. as normal national trust fair. Routes are long and 👍 We spent 25 minutes wandering through the 14 rooms in this 500 year old National Trust house. The rooms had signage with information about the house's history, construction periods room usage and other interesting details like specific objects or markings in the room. The floor is uneven and there are stairs, but still easy to walk through. Facilities: Decent sized car park, giant used bookstore (not typical shop - everything is preloved), clean toilets, and two tea rooms next to each other. It was a place to visit, very interesting but we went there with our child and it was not the tiniest bit entertaining for children. As usual with these places I think it would have been pleasant to have a play area on the grassy area where the tables are - there was plenty of space, that might be entertaining to kids as well. I wouldn’t say it’s worth the cost of a child ticket for certain. We didn’t try the restaurant but the ice creams were 😌 Outstanding wonky Tudor moated Manor house. Built between about 1504 to 1610, it has a fascinating including being requisitioned in 1643 by Parliamentarians during the English Civil War which plunged the Moreton family owners in to crippling debt. Beautiful and gardens with a and shop. Well worth a visit. The best example of its kind in the country. At the time of writing this review a special Christmas event was taking place.. Christmas through the centuries....which added to the experience the hall provides. After wandering through the various rooms, and marvelling at the great hall, on a fine day one can walk around the moat and the ornamental garden. It is simply a remarkable, and very wonky, example of a timbered building. The stairs are winding, steep and, at times, uneven, so care needs to be taken. With or without any particular temporary display or event it is somewhere that should be visited. quirky historic house. Our second but plenty to see. Nice restaurant and helpful & friendly staff. Would recommend. Great tudor with available to answer your questions We joined a free talk from one of the volunteers, very informative, she clearly knew her stuff and kept it interesting The is good, especially on a sunny day, which we got, so we sat outside and enjoyed the ducks rushing around the tables. I still can't quite believe that this place actually exists. It's a relatively unspoilt Tudor farmhouse cum Manor with moat. Its jam packed with original features and the guides really brought the place to life. It probably isn't big enough to be a full day out but you will not be disappointed by the house. A word of warning, if you are unsteady on your feet or have other mobility issues you may struggle with the narrow winding stairs and uneven floors. I don't think that there was a straight or level piece of wood inside or outside the building. Simply stunning. Run by national trust. Beautiful,ancient quirky shaped .ladies giving talks on also gentleman in the long room, all very informative and interesting. grounds. there too. Plenty toilets about. Very unusual, quirky and wonky National Trust property. The angles of the woodwork, the floors and windows are unbelievable, some steel has been added which may explain how its still standing. We had a nice here on a sunny day. Inside the was nice and cool, with plenty of information points and helpful staff. The gardens are very nice to walk around, and a moat around the property. We had lunch in Mrs Dale's tearoom, which was very nice and reasonably priced. Also a smaller where you can get snacks/drinks and sit in the garden. Big car park and access. Definitely worth a visit. Not the largest NT property I've visited but packed with and a fascinating structure which seems to almost defy the laws of physics. All the romance of a period Tudor property. The volunteers and were wonderful and the food in the was delicious. A thoroughly enjoyable visit. Fabulous to this gem of a Tudor House. A free gravel parking area is provided close to the house, just off the A34. Shaded by mature trees and space for a number of cars. Knowledgeable with an excellent talk given in Tudor dress in the courtyard at 12.00 & the great hall at 2pm. The teashop reckon they are the best in the National Trust & I would not argue 👍😋. Excellent lunch options and homemade specials. Worth a in it's own right! No curried pasties, just amazing food from pies, quiche to crumble and custard. Fab (Do note, the new till system does not take Amex cards). The upstairs of the is not for the less able, but fascinating if you can manage the stairs. No NT shop, but a huge range of secondhand books and a stamp for your NT passport. Certainly worth a 👍☺️ A wonderful experience for young and old. Make sure you listen to the guides talk before going round and in the long gallery, enjoy the crooked room. You'll know what I mean when you go there. My grandchildren particularly liked the garderobe and we're fascinated by what passed as a toilet in Tudor times. What a place, a great historical place to visit. It's only but worth the visit. All the are friendly and happy to pass on their knowledge. Great little café with just as pleasant staff, and the hog roast sausage roll was lovely. Our first to Little Moreton Hall and as NT members, perhaps the oldest we've explored. Dating back to the 1500s and the Tudor period, its is fascinating. Highly recommended is the tour by guide Kenneth - informative and numerous in equal measure! Peter is also a font of knowledge, so if he's there, be sure to talk with him. There are plenty of stairs and uneven floors - just one look at the exterior of the will give you a clue. But with very little within the interior, it gives a clear view of the structure, how it was built and how it has been saved from collapse by the National Trust. The gardens are small, there are two places to eat, with plenty of outside seating when the weather is fine... just watch out for the ducks! We spent around three hours at Little Moreton Hall, so it's ideal for visiting when you don't have the whole day free. Definitely recommend! A National Trust property. The tea shop was excellent too and certainly recommend the homemade soup. I have always loved Little Moreton Hall, and our today was no exception. All of the are so friendly and informative, going out of their way to help and advise - they really do make such a positive difference! The Christmas over the centuries/decades display is so fantastic (I have to admit the Puritan Christmas display did make me chuckle!). The food in the tearooms was tasty and homely (we had the parsnip and apple soup, and it was wonderful!) You may have a short wait to be seated at busy times, but it is definitely worth it. We shall certainly be returning when the 2025 season starts! Probably the most interesting and unusual NT place. The 500-year-old hall is the best place to immerse yourself in the of England... Also, if you want to try a lunch prepared according to old English recipes - you are in the right place! Brilliantly quirky Tudor Hall that's a wonderful mix of architecture and history. Spoilers - the floors and walls get increasingly uneven as you progress up the culminating in the wonderful long gallery built on top of the house! There is home made food in the café. I would strongly recommend if you have the time then stay for the insightful historical talks (delivered in period costume) that really bring the place alive. I really enjoyed our visit. to visit, great insight into the construction of a Tudor House. However, caution is needed with those who have mobility issues when exploring the interior of the property as uneven surfaces and strange angles can make you very unstable. The property is surrounded by a moat, and a has a garden. There are two tea rooms. The little tea room for sandwiches, cakes, etc , with outdoor seating & Mrs Dale's tea room with indoor seating and waitress service for more substantial fair. An excellent First time visiting here. I was not dissapointed. were really friendly and helpful. The and gardens are but and very interesting. I think you would struggle viewing the if you had a mobility issue but there is a ground floor and gardens where you can sit to eat amongst the fruit trees. Its not somewhere unfortunately you can take a dog. But it's definitely well worth a This is a beautiful example of a Tudor building. The and volunteers are passionate about the place. I love that the is waitress service, and that they serve locally baked cakes and food rather than the usual corporate choices in most National Trust cafes. Loved it! Great place to visit. Such a stunning hall! The little book shop is fabulously well stocked. The hall is grand and ever so wonky. It's a perfect Tudor house. The garden is a beautiful walk. It's just so quaint. Their are ducklings and baby moorhens everywhere. The garden boats a wide selection of herbs and fruits. It's a perfect day out for adults and children alike! Their are stairs and the floor is cobblestone in parts. But it's a perfect heritage site. The have excellent knowledge and the cafe's are lovely. architecturally this place is a wonder! You can walk around the whole the uneven, mis shaped with some beautiful examples of craftsmanship to experience. We went on a Saturday & there was talks on in the great hall throughout the day which really brought to life Tudor England. place to with friendly staff, an excellent tea room, and parking. It’s inviting and full of information- the gardens are and the is a rare and special place to visit.
