A fantastic experience and defiently worth a visit. A mind blowing building and the tour guide had a wealth of knowledge. So much to see and learn and everyone is so friendly. There is also an allotment and a few farm animals outside which is great for the kids, and you MUST go to the tea rooms........ the food is devine, the seating is comfortable and prices are affordable. It was that good we ordered another High Tea. A wonderful day out and would visit again.…

Lytham Hall is a hidden gem. The grounds are lovely to walk around, with a couple of ponds and some really delightful flower borders, in Summer. There is a big lawn area at the front of the house which is picture perfect for picnics. The picturesque kitchen garden is wonderful to walk around - and if you are lucky - or go earlier enough in the season - you can buy produce there. There is also an unobtrusive garden centre which sells lots of great coastal plants. A little pricey. The House is fabulous to visit. The rooms are arranged so that you can completely imagine life there. However, I was a little aggravated by the guides who I felt hounded by. Really, I think the guides need to ask the permission of the visitor regarding information. I felt machine-gunned by chat. In addition to this, two of the voices were loud and irritating and actually detracted from the enjoyment of the visit! Fortunately, this is easily recified, by offering visitors a choice about having a guide talk at them. Maybe even the option of a cleanable laminated information sheet, or two, offered by the guides, in each room? Every visitor is different and some would willingly engage with the guides - but not me - and their approach marred my visit. I understand that they are volunteers - and are probably a bit bored standing around - but a bit of volunteer training about approaching visitors might not go amiss. An important thing to note is that the Hall does not have enough free disabled car parking spaces. It would be easy to create a number of them by the car park adjacent to the reclaimation/antiques shop. I can never find a space now the Hall has decided to charge for car parking. Come on Lytham Hall - think about your older or disabled visitors - at present - the disabled car parking just is not adequate! Other than that, the Hall has recently introduced a paying car park, which makes the visit no longer a free attraction for most people (the Hall driveway is long and most use cars).…
