A lovely place that has a lot of history. The house is very nice and full of interesting artefacts and the garden is just as fun.

Our drive to the location was almost two hours from home but it was really worth it! We booked our slot as you have to with current times and parked in the nearby car park. The car park is on the smaller side which is to be expected with a smaller property but I believe there is an additional car park. May be worth noting that the car park can be tight if you are in a bigger car/ van. When we arrived we were greeted on the door and “checked in” with our membership cards and checked off the booking list. From the start the staff/ volunteers were cheerful and welcoming. The walk to the property is said to be 15 minutes. However if you are a quick walker it won’t take this long. It is worth noting that it is up a slight slope and incline. The walk and views to the property are beautiful and peaceful. Only the ground floor of the property is currently open and we did have to queue to enter. We were greeted with a big smile and told some history about the property and the previous owners which gave great context for what we were to see in the house. The house is full of an amazing collection of items and no end of things to look at. Due to covid and the queuing system we went from room to room in our “bubble” with no other visitors, which is an exciting way to experience a property and also made us feel safe. The room guides were full of knowledge and interesting facts about the rooms and their contents and were passionate about the property. The gardens and the surrounding views are breathtaking. We also visited the cafe which had plenty of spaced out seating indoors and out and were quick to serve us. The staff and volunteers really are a credit to the National Trust and made the whole experience of visiting the property enjoyable. You could tell how genuinely happy they were to have visitors back. We will 100% be back once the rest of the property opens up. …

A lovely walk from the car park to the building . We most appreciated the way the staff in different parts of the property were able to bring it all alive for us . An eclectic collection of stuff and fascinating tales of the collector. We weren’t able to explore the village but if you are going that way you may want to leave time to explore further from The Manor . . …

Such a wonderful location! We booked to visit Snowshill whilst staying in nearby Broadway and we were blessed with such fantastic weather. As NT members, it was extremely easy to book a slot online and when we arrived on the day, we went straight into the grounds. Just to note, due to COVID, you must pre-book online for an arrival slot but you get as much time as you like in the actual grounds. We were very envious about the beautiful gardens they have at Snowshill and the wonderful allotments that are kept there. As a keen photographer, I couldn't have picked a better place to take lots and lots of superb photographs. Not only was the beauty of land outstanding, in true National Trust fashion, it was extremely interesting to read about its history and how Charles Wade transformed it from a ruin into what it is now. He was very lucky to have lived in such a place!…

Such a beautiful place to visit. A real gem and the tea room is probably one of the best settings the NT has to offer with views over the valleys. The gardens are reached via an undulating path so not the easiest for those with mobility issues but well worth the effort. Just so beautiful and relaxing. Lovely to see a good old English apple orchard. Sadly, the house was not open. Built in the lovely mellow local brick, it is an artist dream, especially with the autumn colours starting to develop on the grape vine growing up the workshop wall. Ample parking, helpful staff and a well stocked shop. Easy to socially distance. Clean toilets. A credit to the NT and will return when house is open.…
