We spent a very enjoyable afternoon at this historic property. It's a fascinating building and it's great to learn about the history of the building as you walk around. We had a tasty lunch of delicious soup and sandwiches at The Pantry. Further indication of which room you are in, would help in the self guided tours of the hall. The children loved the old fashioned games to play in the Great Hall.
We had a fantastic afternoon at Little Moreton Hall, the staff were very friendly and welcoming and made my children very happy. My children loved using the clipboards to find the different things around Little Moreton Hall. My daughter enjoyed the arts and crafts and we found a nice spot outside to have a snack surrounded by very friendly ducks. We will definitely be returning for another visit and probably visit the tea room next time. Thanks to all the staff at Little Moreton Hall for making the afternoon very enjoyable.
I thought that the National Trust entry price was quite dear for what was there- but the free guided tour was well worth waiting for and made us realise the full history of this amazing house- and the Moreton family who continually added bits to the house as they climbed the social ladder. A word of warning- it is on a cold site and it is very cold inside the house- but the hot drinks and cream teas in the tearoom afterwards soon warmed us up- a very interesting afternoon.
Despite this being almost on my doorstep, it was my first visit.The hall itself is under continual renovation, not that 'work in progress' was obtrusive. It is so full of character and surprises that I don't want to spoil them all, here is one... some of the flooring on the first floor is concrete...... that was a surprise to myself as I had no idea I'd see this in such a manor house. The National Trust are doing an excellent job of maintaining and renovating (much of the Hall you see as you approach has had the 'horrid Victorian' black and what removed and is back to the original natural wood with cream/buff plaster work inbetween.There is a very nice cafe selling good quality food and a 'typical' National Trust gift shop at the main entrance.Little Morton Hall is an iconic manor house that is well worth a visit. I hope, like myself, you'll spend several very enjoyable hours there.
This National Trust run property is full of history enhanced by the valuable information provided from the several guides. Free tour guides are also available but did not have this during my visit. History came alive during half term with small intimate demonstrations for the children. The building is very crooked with clear explains of why and how. Both a restaurant and tea house available with limited seating but lovely food and refreshment. Time spent depends on the weather, like any outdoor sites.
A really special house with loads of character and pretty garden. The house is one of the finest examples of its kind in the country. Top quality offering as you would expect with the National Trust. Great in the summer but also lovely at Christmas when they decorate it with greenery. Well worth a visit.
We spent this afternoon here with the girls.Our first visit this year.It was busy,as we expected,but the girls did the quiz.Finding animals for the youngest and answering questions for the eldest.I always love the view as you walk up to the Hall.It stands magnificently.The Long Gallery is one of my favourite rooms but the girls like the Grand Bedroom with its' four poster bed.Today they dressed up in Tudor clothes then tried out the bed.There was certainly a lot of giggles from behind the curtains.Downstairs they made a Mothers' Day card using printing ink.The volunteers here are superb with the children.Whilst their prints were drying we went outside,Koi Carp swimming in the Moat.The girls threw beanbags at The Jack 'O' Lenten.The Tudors threw at him when they were frustrated with fasting for Lent.The girls threw beanbags,the Tudors used to use stones.Thank you to everyone for a lovely day.
As a local person to this venue I am a frequent visitor whenever friends or family come to me to stay. It is a visually spectacular building, often with activities for children and at least annually with an impressive period play put on in the courtyard by a local dramatic society.There is a well defined wallk which begins at the hall for those with time - about 4 miles and taking in other houses of note in the area.One little whinge: no access to get coffee if you have a dog with you.
Have visited here about 6 times since joining the Nat Trust last year. My 8-year old daughter loves it! She loves the house and the quiz which any body can do and which keeps the children interested in the property. My daughters' absolute favourite things are the very hands-on events which see the staff dressed as Tudor ladies making items such as soaps and candles and the costumes, which anybody may try are great for photo opportunities. We love the building which has a fascinating history, the tour guides are excellent and really know their stuff! The gardens are not overly large, but great at any time of the year. The only niggle i think is the cost of food, especially tea and cake, although the cakes are delicious, they are, i feel, overpriced, but in the summer, it's ok to take a snack and sit out in the sun to eat it. Little Moreton Hall is a brilliant day out with something different year round, visit now!
Brilliant property. Helpful friendly staff throughout. Guides very informative. Food very good. Worth a visit. Wrap up warm no heating but well worth staying and seeing everything.
