We had a wonderful day walking around Waddesdon's grounds and thoroughly enjoyed moseying around the inside of the house too. Another highlight was definitely the afternoon tea, we booked it in advance and thought it was reasonable value for money compared to what some establishments we've visited previously charge. As NT members we had free entry but would have happily payed for the wonderful day we had.
A visit to waddesdon manor is a must do at xmas.Always a little difficult to get a table in cafe at peak times so do try and visit in the week.
Always a great day out as a family or with friends of all ages. You can spend the day at Waddesdon or simply an hour at your own pace! A café, restaurant and gift shop are around the manor.
If you go to Waddedsden Manor the tour of the Aviary is a must. They have a wonderful selection of birds and the tour by the keeper is extremely interesting. The Manor gardens and grounds are beautiful, take a picnic and look at the wonderful Buckinghamshire countryside.
They had an artist create a light display over the winter months, and the Christmas lights were all up too. I'd never been before and really enjoyed it. We had afternoon tea too, which was excellent - worth the £18. Make sure you book online as it's very popular - and rightly so. Beautiful building.
Waddesdon is a wonderful place to visit with children and as adults. Stunning grounds, including play areas for children, picnic areas, aviary and woodland area. There are often different activities and displays going on in the grounds and the house. I would definitely recommend a visit.
One of the better National Trust houses.In December the house and grounds are dressed for Christmas with a faire in the beautiful gardens
Another wonderful visit . The House and Gardens were delightful. The staff couldn't have been more helpful . We'd certainly recommend this as a place to visit .
We visited over Christmas to view an art installation in the grounds. The main building had been beautifully illuminated to add to the experience and we all had a thoroughly enjoyable visit to the grounds. I was very impressed with the shuttle bus service that is new since my last visit, very well organised.
I didn't dislike anything. The place is nice for families as it has many grounds for children to run around. There's also playing areas specially for children. The cafe is nice, not too pricey, although the restaurant is, but the food is really good. Every Christmas they recreate a theme and decorate inside the house according to it, ans also they have the market set outside selling nice things.
