Tucked away in leafy suburbs, Sudley is the only house of a Victorian merchant that still has its original pictures, including works by Millais, Turner and Rossetti, and with beautiful period furniture, carpets and wallpaper it doesn't feel like a regular gallery. There is also a childhood room, a small world room and a costume room, which often house temporary displays, and tearooms. Admission is free. « less

I've lived in Liverpool for 8 years, and always meant to visit Sudley House, but only got round to it recently. I'm so glad I made the effort to find it (and it is an effort - situated out in the leafy southern suburbs of the city. It's not far from one of the metro stops, though). The house was... More

Although I have lived in Liverpool for many years and seen signs for signs for Sudley House, it took weatherman Fred in "Where's Fred" to highlight the gem that this house is. In addition to the history of the house the gardens are amazing, with views across to the River Mersey, and there is also a very nice cafe. It... More

Had an exhibition of a local woman's clothes and those of her children - gave a real flavour of the 1920's. The house is well cared for and there is a nice little cafe. Enjoyed walking around - it was early spring so lots of bulbs out. Very pleasant visit. More

It's free, with donations welcome. That's only the start. A great place for all ages, there's something different and varied to appreciate for everyone here. Some really great rooms in period styles with useful information for adults and trails/quizes/games for kids. An excellent cafe and terrace if its nice weather. More

I used to love Sudley House before they 'improved' it ie dumbed it down by making a kiddies room which is more like a creche, and sticking a whopping great lift in the once beautiful hallway. Sad but that's progress [or we have the budget so we might as well spend it on something]. More

The house and grounds are mildly interesting and worth a quick stop if you are driving but I wouldn't go out of my way to see it. More

A small country house, once belonging to a ship owning family, tucked away in a parkland setting about 3 miles from city centre. A good art collection reflecting the life of the family and early Liverpool. Refreshments available. Its worth an hour or two so combine it with a trip to Speke Hall or John Lennon's house More
