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

In a city filled with great things to see and do, this is one of my favourites. I always try to visit when I'm there. As other reviewers have noted, it truly is a hidden gem.

Great little place - well worth a visit. Nice to stroll around, relaxed atmosphere....staff are happy to assit with any questions about the history of the building. Also, great to take children as they have an art room too. Pleasant Cafe, you can eat in or out doors, wide selection of food/drinks.

One of Liverpools many cultural gems Sudley was the home of a Cotton merchant with plenty of money and bags of good taste. A private collection that tells a fascinating tale of the life and times of the Holt Family. A lovely activity room for young children - our (nearly) two year old grand daughter loves going there. The glass... More

What could be a better prospect for starting the week than knowing that one doesnt have to work tomorrow and can stroll over to Sudley on a quiet Monday morning and enjoy a wonderful couple of hours there admiring the art as well as the furnishings and costume. I am so pleased that the Leader painting "Evening at Norton" is... More

To see the inside of the house which was built on the fortune of the port of Liverpool through the shipping line is great.

A hidden gem, only a mile from home. Used to visit as a child. Tea rooms, a fabric exhibition and the most amazing views across the Mersey.

My daughter and I visited last May 2012. The house was lovely with plenty of interest to see. We enjoyed the grounds and a lovely afternoon tea in the courtyard. What most impressed us was the insistence of the guide to show us around the place even though it was the end of the day and we were the only... More

The feeling of being able to enter a real Victorian merchant's home and share his art collection is a joy. And it's free ! The video presentations by actors playing the parts of all the family and servants brings the place to life and is very well done, informative without being boring. There is a small display of children's toys... More

hidden away in leafy suburb, but well worth a visit. Staff very friendly, informed, and willing to help with any questions. small cafe in house. There is usually an exhibition upstairs. Each room has video info presented in the era of the house, very interesting.
