This house has a nice lived in feeling and every room looks happy. The guides are really good here and seem to love it. The walks around the house are the best in the area, with the gardens and wooded area there is something for everyone. More history is coming from this house as the years go by that is... More

We have recently joined the National Trust so have been looking for places to visit. Hughenden Manor is a lovely place to visit. Very informative and lots to interest older children. There is a World War II link (basement has war shelter and set up of old sitting room) and also the Disraeli family link. I learnt a lot from... More

We love the walks and the house also they have a very good courtyard cafe and shop which is always nice at the end of an exhaustive stroll around the grounds. Easy to park and find. Take your wellies though, lots of wildlife around! More

Well worth a visit. An interesting mix of Victorian and WW2 history! One thing to watch is when you buy your entrance ticket, they they only offer the ticket that includes gift aid. It's cheaper if you buy a "standard" ticket. More

Liked Hughenden Manor very much indeed. The history of Disraeli's time there is explained and we were able to see many of the artefacts gathered during his time there. We didn't get to see the maps or the gardens as it was a very bad, dark and rainy day so we will go back again as we have been told... More

What a difference after visiting Grey's Court (which was disappointing). Fascinating - with a wealth of information and delighful, knowledgeable staff. We really enjoyed listening to the lecture on Disraeli and gained an understanding of this interesting charachter who was so close to Queen Victoria. The house, furnishings and artwork gave insight into fashions of the day and society.WWII displays... More

Great location, beautiful Victorian Manor with a very interesting history both during the reign of Queen Victoria and during WWII. The historic talks on Benjamin Disraeli and the WWII secret mapping operations are well worth listening to and the staff around the house are also very keen to impart their knowledge of various aspects of the home. We learnt a... More
