Reviews of National Trust - Nunnington Hall

M. W.

Charming house with 2 main floors and an attic which often houses limited exhibitions. Well maintained interiors and restored tapestries, along with info about the various occupants over the centuries. All staff and volunteers seemed very friendly, helpful and approachable. The tea room and book shop are unusually situated inside the main house rather than in outbuildings. Food selection is slightly limited although was nice. The gardens are fairly small compared to many NT houses, but photogenic and graced with the presence of a couple of peacocks strutting around. A big theme on bug hotels and nature-friendly gardening, with activities to get children interested too.

Extremely friendly staff, offering interesting history and info about the rooms if asked. Beautiful manor house with a maze of rooms due to the many different ages of the building. I loved the cushions everywhere printed with quotations from Mrs Fife and the little game to guess the historical answers. The gardens were beautiful and great to be able to sit in deck chair or even play croquet! Well done for being very innovative! The little model rooms were also absolutely incredible.

Well we were told this was one of the trusts smaller properties ... but it still took us over 2 hours to look round the house and beautiful gardens. One of those 'good feel ' places. 3 floors mixing very very old (1600s) to relatively modern (70s). Lots of well furnished rooms, paintings, amazing 'miniature' rooms and wooden panelling. Informative guides. Outside coffees/cakes. Deck chairs, childrens games, veg plot and currently beautiful purple tulips flowering. Second hand, well managed, book room. Parking very close to the house, plenty of large vehicle places. We really enjoyed this house.

The best NT site we’ve ever been to. Very friendly staff, wonderful history, we’ll laid out, great food. The best aspect are the gardens, we went today, May 24 2022, and the gardens were immaculate: well groomed grass, some wonderful flowered areas but the best part was the wild garden areas. Simply stunning visits. Thanks NT 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Lots to do at this small, picturesque property. Kids loved the games on the lawn and there's a little play area tucked away in the garden (turn left on the way to the far Gaye opposite the house). The cafe and tea room are good quality and you can sit in reclining chairs looking out on the river (there's apparently an otter on the 8 mile stretch of river). Three peacocks make their presence felt! The house is a throwback, which is perhaps part of the point, but the exhibits on the third floors are lovely.

Gorgeous! Small but perfectly formed country house, in a beautiful setting of 9 acres on the banks of the R. Rye. The manor dates from the 1300s whilst the oldest part of the house is 1500s. There are lots of fascinating historical artefacts and insights and you get a real feel of what it must have been like to live here, over the centuries, even though there was extensive refurbishment and modernisation in the 1920s. The gardens are simply glorious, with the most wonderful herbaceous borders I have ever seen. So many beautiful flowers, attracting thousands of butterflies and bees. A lovely tea garden as well, with free ranging peacocks clearing up the crumbs.

It's a beautiful historical house even the car park is in woodlands. Crossing the bridge over the river is a taste of things to come wonderful landscape either side . The house is spectacular the wall tapestry's stunning each room authentic and dedicated to various hall eras. There were guides in each room so if you wanted more information it was readily to hand. They encourage local artists exhibitions but I was blown away by the Turner original prints on the tiny corridor through to the exhibition room . The tea rooms are excellent a varied menu at a very reasonable price. But the grounds are a children's paradise . Coquette on the lawn: Skittles and Jenga but if you stray into the play area it's a child's paradise . It's also educational as there are insect houses : bir d watching eyepieces and an array of highly unusual plants. Loved every minute of the afternoon arrived at noon and reluctantly had to leave at 1600 closing time : if you're a fan of peacocks there's plenty to be seen wandering the grounds : to quote Nick Park ' A Grand Day Out '

Great gardens and an interesting house. Reasonable entry fee. Well worth a visit on a beautiful day.

Tasteful festive decorations for Christmas with very good, informative exhibits. Local schools supported by involving school childrens' art work. Always a delightful art exhibition of local artists' work. Top marks for the restaurant - several vegetarian & vegan options.

Very lively and relaxed day. Self read tour with helpful guides. Interesting history of the Fifes. Beautiful gardens too
