Full marks to English Heritage for the way they have conserved the Hall. Not as ostentatious as so many former stately homes - 'faded opulence' is the term used by English Heritage and this is a fair description. A Victorian time capsule. We were with a private coach party and our reception and guided tours were well organised. Some of... More

Family visit at May Bank Holiday- very busy, but well organised and friendly car parking staff started off our visit well. The events for May centred on how the hall was affected by war- so lots of happenings around the place being requisitioned and how the family had to share it. The hall itself is a bit of a time...

Liked the place, really interesting, good staff and definitely worth a visit. Nice grounds and really a peaceful place to visit.

I must admit, I'm a bit surprised by the glowing reviews of Brodsworth. Yes, the gardens are really lovely (if this had been a review solely of the gardens, then 4 or 5 stars would apply), and it was nice to see the croquet lawn in use by a local club, but the house was a disappointment. I can't understand... More

As English heritage members most visits are 'free' but sometimes there's a small extra charge for certain 'events'. When our kids were younger we'd just came for a walk and let them have a climb and run around in the wooden playground. The autumn evenings with lights and 'fairies' is fantastic. Classic cars arrive for Fathers Day and a good... More

I didn't really know what to expect before we arrived, as all that I had read was what was in English Heritage's guide. If you like exploring historic houses and gardens then this is one not to be missed. The story of the house with its faded beauty and family history is fascinating. The guides on hand in most of...

For people who love to visit old country houses there is nothing worse than arriving to find them the victim of an ill-conceived makeover. You wouldn't expect that of English Heritage of course (though some of their projects have made me cringe) and at Brodsworth Hall you don't get the commercial veneer that spoils some lovely old properties. Brodsworth gardens... More

We visited Brodsworth in March and the gardens of course are not at their peak. As I walked around I imagined how they would be in the summer with all the flowers in bloom. The sunken garden is magical and we are planning another visit shortly on our way to friends in North Yorkshire. The tea room is a welcome... More

Went expecting to only spend about an hour there, but there was a lot more to see. The war time exhibition was very good and spread out over lots of rooms. It made the place seem less of a museum, more like it was lived in. You could visualise the soldiers working and living in the place.
