Hatfield House, Hatfield

A lovely house to visit, the forest walks are a great touch (and not much travelled, so can be away from the crowd, while still not going too far), the gardens have quite a bit of variety and many hidden places. Getting the ticket once also allows one to return to the grounds & garden (not the house though) as many times in a season as they like.

I took my wife who has disability's to Hatfield House recently and was very pleased with the way that all staff looked after us. They were very helpful inside the house and also outside, the buggy ride was especially handy and the driver ( Clive ?) explained the history as we went along.

It's totally unspoilt. It's an excellently kept Jacobean house, good restaurant and toilet facilities. You can walk and picnic in the grounds. Also Interesting walks

Stunning Tudor residence - the great Hall in particular was fascinating. The front facade has a huge metal water feature in front of it which seems very out of place. If you visit read up beforehand as there is no audio guide or free tours.

Beautiful setting fabulous history & very informative guides I would recommend everyone talk to them. The only thing I would change is the choice of food some sarnies or jacket potatoes wouldn't go a miss not everyone wants a heavy lunch.....I will return with my hounds so they can appreciate the beautiful settings
