What travelers are saying

We had a private visit round the gardens as part of our local garden club trip.

The guided tour was great, the guide brought the house and its history to life and made for an interesting and enjoyable 50 minutes.

The guided tour explains the development of the house through the centuries.

Somewhat undersold.

In a peaceful setting with coastal views to the East, Nunwell is rich in history. Visitors should allow time for nearby Brading church, specifically the funerary monuments to the Oglander builders of Nunwell. Understandably perhaps, our volunteer guide's knowledge seemed limited to cue cards. Charles...More

Excellent formal gardens surrounding an impressive house

The gardens around the house comprise new and old - new herbaceous and mixed borders set in a garden with fine mature trees. The Hoheria sexstylosa was covered in snow white flowers; quite an amazing sight. Billowing plants and roses complemented the side garden, which...More
