Our son was at Oxford for three years but it was only in his final year that we got round to visiting Blenheim. As he was reading history, this was pretty unforgiveable! It was a memorable visit and we were so sorry it took us so long to get round to it. It was a perfect summer day and the... more

My wife and I were having a short break in the Cotswolds and this was top of the list for a visit. We were not disappointed.

The House is imposing, as it was created to be. The grounds are beautiful and there is a delightful rose garden.

Love the building and its setting - but spoiled by being too commercial.

The guides are knowledgeable and the staff friendly but I cna think of many better tourist experiences. more

You could send hours wandering around the grounds, and you can pay to go into the exhibitions in the Palace. If you have time, the cafe does amazing scones and tea! more

Interesting inside but the outside of the building I found a little austere. If you are fortunate to go on a fine day spend time walking round the grounds. more

Blenheim is a grand house set within lovely grounds. It can be a bit pricey to visit, but a walk in the extwensive grounds in itself is worth the visit alone. more
