Live relatively local and had been here many years ago, so thought we would re visit. We allowed a whole day which you will prolly need. Was great for kids to run around and lots for them to see and do. For adults it was a relaxing day in beautiful surrounding. A lovely way to spend a day, we also took a picnic and are in the main grounds

It was a wet day in late October, and we spent only a few minutes in the Gardens. The House Tour, however, kept us occupied for a couple of hours. With audio information, and pleasant and very knowledgeable staff in every room, we learned a great deal.And, just when we thought that we had finished the House Tour, we were guided into the Crypt, with its Grotto and wonderful displays of porcelain, silver and gold.Well worth the cost of entry.The Tearoom and Shop are of a high standard.We hope to visit again next Summer, for a few hours in the Gardens.

We came to Woburn expecting much and left completely flabbergasted. Having visited many of the great country houses before (Chatsworth, Blenheim, Burghley, Kedleston ...) we sort of knew what to expect. But if Woburn Abbey is not up to the same architectural merit as some of those grand names, it more than makes up for with its art collection. The famous Canaletto dining room, gorgeous library and Van Dyck room just blew us away. We actually visitied the house twice, as there was just so much beauty to take in on one visit.What I personally found particularly pleasing, is that this is a privately run house, as opposed to a house run by the national trust. This shows as each and every room is hosted by very knowledgeable guides who have a personal affection for the Duke of Bedford's family. The Duke's family obviously puts a lot of effort in making sure all the people working at Woburn are a part of their extended family and present this meticulously maintained house to the greatest effect.

We enjoyed Woburn's lovely gardens.The Abbey itself is large and interesting, although one of the rooms was closed for a private event, and another area housed a seemingly half-finished exhibition, in a vast and largely empty room, with more than its' fair share of dead flies on the windowsills!We used Tesco vouchers which made our visit more affordable, and we would probably look to use them or another offer if we came again rather than pay the full price.

Had a lovely afternoon in the gardens of Woburn Abbey today, also went into the gift shop and tea rooms. The gardens really looked wonderful, and the staff in the shop and tea rooms were very pleasant indeed - as was the lady at the entrance. They all made me feel most welcome.Altogether, a lovely visit, one that I shall certainly repeat.

The abbey (or stately home as it is now) is stunning and large. We spent 2 hours visiting all the rooms and speaking with the friendly and well-informed room guides. The gardens are absolutely stunning. The tea-room is fabulous and sensibly priced. Allow at least half a day for your visit.

All three Woburn golf courses are worth a visit. Try and grab a member for a reduced green fee. Oh, and forget a treat for the friendly fox on the Duke's course.

Had a lovely experience in the Duchess Tea room. Was treated to afternoon tea which was lovely.The place was welcoming, the food great, staff friendly, all round a great service.The Abbey gardens were lovely to walk around in the afternoon sun after drinking my weight in tea.I would recommend the afternoon tea to everyone. If its not your cup of tea, the Tea room is still worth a visit for a piece of flap jack and a coffee.

Thank you for your recent review, I am however sorry that you didn't enjoy our Luminaries Woburnensis event. Whilst there was queuing into the venue, given the uniqueness of this event and it only being a 5 hour event it was almost inevitable. The rain earlier in the week left the car park boggy in places, our contingency plan was to get everyone parked as quickly and as safely as possible. A few cars did get stuck however we had a team of people with tractors at the ready to assist. We did ask all visitors (via our website) to wear appropriate footwear and clothing for this outdoor winter event. Visitors of all ages were very welcome at our event and all of the varied and unique activities were welcomed by all ages; ice sculptures, interactive ice wall, fire sculptures, Oriental lion dances, fire performers and tree of dreams to name a few. Many thanks once again thank you for your feedback.

Thank you for taking the time to post and to let us know your thoughts on our Luminaries Woburnensis event, we do appreciate all feedback received.I am sorry you felt the event didn't exceed our usual high standards. We do have a large car park that can cater for events, however we are planning to review the car parking system for future after-dark events, as it is possible that some visitors who parked incorrectly were unaware they had done so. It was also unfortunate that rain during the week leading up to the event had left the ground a little boggy in places and this limited our usual car parking area.This particular event takes our team of gardeners over 2 weeks to set up and we hire a huge amount of various lighting to ensure that there are varied features around the gardens. Led tea lights in candle bags, fairy lights, various lanterns, spot lights, moving gobos, over 800m of festoon lights, mirror ball with pin spots, floodlights, up lighters just to name a few.We strongly advised on our website that visitors should bring a torch to assist their journey around the gardens and wear appropriate footwear for this winter event.As well as the fire performers you have mentioned, other event highlights on the night were: 2 Oriental lion dances, 2 fire sculptures, 5 ice sculptures, an interactive ice wall and the tree of dreams.We always aim to enhance the visitor experience year on year and I do hope that you will return to Woburn Abbey & Gardens in the future.
