We had a great day here at Easter, there was an Easter trail which entertained our 2 year old, and was suitable for children of all ages to take part in. There is also a childrens playground for under 5's so when they get bored of the house and gardens they can exercise off some pent up energy. The house... More

We had a look at the historic church (which looks smaller from outside than it actually is) and went on to the gardens were the party started. The ground staff... More

Coughton Court is actually my local National Trust property so I visit regularly. The staff are always friendly and helpful and the restaurant serves delicious food. Don't miss the walled garden - if you are an RHS member you get in free to the gardens. More

Visited Coughton Court today and had a great day. The house was really interesting and the tour guides were very knowledgable. My 2 sons (12 and 10) loved it especially as we were allowed onto the roof - great views. Gardens were lovely and have decided to visit again in the summer. Agree with previous reviewer cream teas are lovely!!!!! More
