We really enjoyed our two brief visits to Lanhydrock. The gardens are lovely and the house very well presented. Would love to return just to wander in the gardens and grounds. More

This is a magnificent stately home well worth a visit if you are in Cornwall. Proably the jewel in the crown for The National Trust in Cornwall, it is huge. The best part of a day can easily be spent here, wandering around the house and gardens. More

We visited this house and garden in May. The house tour was extensive (I believe they said there were 50 rooms open to view) and the docents were very knowledgeable. The garden was very nice; the bluebells were in bloom and it was incredible to see the waves of color. We had an excellent lunch in the restaurant; they also... More

The approach to this beutiful old house will just take your breath away. It is a reasonable walk from the car park - golf buggy rides for those with walking difficulties - through extremely pleasant countryside/parkland. Suddenly the gate house of the main house appears and it really is a show stopper. Worth the walk in itself. The gardens are... More

Lanhydrock is a very special place. We enjoyed the house, but also the fantastic grounds - full of rhododendrons, azaleas & blue bells when we were there in May. More

A fabulous place for a family day out. We took our two lively boys (6 and 9) and we all had a wonderful time. Really good value for money - so much to do and see. The house is beautiful - a very large Victorian house showing the contrast between life upstairs and below stairs. Stunning gardens - extensive grounds... More

It was raining, wet and cold when we arrived at Lanhydrock but we had umbrellas with us. Due to the bad weather, it was not a very comfortable walk from the car park to the ticket office; followed thereafter the downhill walk to the main entrance. The walk around the garden was brief for fear of getting wet. So, we... More

Staff were very friendly and helpful both around the house, in the shop and the tearoom. My... More
