Relaxing stroll around grounds or home. Regular visitor and on my doorstep. Additional parking now, which is a definite bonus, though still not enough. Popular place.

Before it gets too busy..then you have time to look at the contents properlyThe William Morris wallpapers are superbLots of warm wood and rich fabrics One of those houses where there is lots to see, need plenty of timeExcellent volunteer guides, some are very knowledgeable about the house and it's contentsVisited in March, gardens only just waking up..but imagine would be lovely later in the year

Visited on a wet day in February. The house was excellent and well worth the visit. The gardens were nice but clearly not the best time of the year. Easy to find using the sat nav post code in the guidebook

An excellent welcome at this house. Fascinating period piece, with lots of arts and crafts, and pre-Raphaelite objects. Extremely helpful stewards downstairs. very knowledgeable. But the steward on the upstairs landing really let the side down. Most rude and unhelpful. Come on National Trust - you need to weed guys like this out!! Good refreshments in the old stables, and very tempting goods in the excellent shop. Would like the rain to have stopped to explore the gardens further. Needs a revisit for that!!

National Trust used to be a standard lunch stop off for us, now we are beginning to doubt. Food was good here but the service just hopeless. Lunchtime and one person on the till. So 20 minutes to get to the front to place an order then 20 minutes to deliver a bowl of soup. If I hadn't have complained I suspect I might still be waiting. So my wife had finished her sandwich well before my lunch arrived so becomes just a refuelling stop off, no pleasure at all. Seems to be run by well meaning amateurs who just haven't got a clue about customer service. And don't get me on to the crowds of young mums that arrive, put one person at the back of the queue then reserve 4 tables and pull over what seems like 20 chairs so there is then nowhere for people with food to sit, recognise that situation?

A fabulous gem on the outskirts of Wolverhampton. It's beautiful in every way, with so much detail that it will require a second visit when the vast gardens are in bloom.The volunteers were extremely knowledgeable and keen to inform you about every detail, which makes a refreshing change. The tea rooms were delightful, but for a coeliac there was a choice only of crisps (which, in fairness, is still better than some other places I've visited).Really can't wait to return when the gardens are out to play in the sunshine.

This place should not be missed if you like the arts and Crafts movement and William Morris in particular. Always open and staff always welcoming. Not large grounds but the house is something else. so much better now you do not have to go on a tour but can wander and ask staff the questions you really want answering. Do not miss it

I have visited Wightwick on many occasions and I am never disappointed. There are extremely helpful and knowledgeable stewards in each room but they never intrude on your visit. The items on display are truly interesting, especially the Edward De Morgan tiles. Take the house at your leisure and explore its many secrets, including a remarkably painted fold-away bed! Then, enjoy the lovely gardens!

We visited this house last year, not realising how busy it could get at weekends!...This time We visited at 12.00 on a thursday. No crowds plenty of time to look around..photography is now allowed in the house except in one room (items did not all belong to NT) which was really good as there were so many interesting rooms and objects. I used the'Museum' low light setting on my camera, so no flashes.. photos were a nice record of our visit.Staff and Volunteers helpful and knowledgeable.Very enjoyable visit

Visited this beautiful old house today as it is a national trust property. Very pleasant and knowledgable guides who explaind much about the treasure trove that is Wightwick Manor. Much bigger than I thought it would be and full of lots of lovely interesting furniture and household items etc. Beautifully preserved and looked after with some magnificent rooms full of interesting facts about the manders family. Great looking around the children's rooms with many toys that would not be out of place in a museum. Many I remember having as a child myself. Bought back many happy memories of my own childhood. Beautiful gardens with a lovely lake you can take a stroll around. Great day out and a building the National Trust should be truly proud of. Free entrance if you are a National Trust member.
