We had a fabulous time here. We saw the house and gardens and stayed for five hours including a break in the Orangery. There was so much to see. The house was fantastic and the information from the guides in each room was first rate. We loved the Garden of Surprises! We also did the Halloween quiz, although we may have been a little old for it....We were blessed with glorious weather but I'm sure the experience would be great in most weathers. The walk round the park was fantastic. Every member of staff we met was lovely. The only quibble-the queue in the Orangery was horrendous, but to be fair, it was Sunday lunchtime. I'd thoroughly recommend a trip to Burghley House.

Having run out of National Trust and English Heritage sites to visit, we have started visiting other venues. I recall visiting Burghley House about 40 years ago and being very impressed and decided to make it one of our weekly trips. We were not disappointed, in any way. I am disabled and parking facilities were provided nearer to the entrance than the main car park. At the ticket counter to the house, we were pleased to find that we were given a discount for being English Heritage members. It is very difficult to comment on the experience of the house itself. The rooms and exhibits are nothing less than stunning and extensive and it hard not to express a superlative on entering every room or part of the house. So many wonderful paintings and astonishing ceilings. There were staff available to help explain various exhibits and plenty of chairs available for people like myself who have several health problems and need to rest occasionally. The only disappointing experience was in the cafeteria, where one piece of carrot cake and 2 teas cost over £9, which does seem rather a lot. However, no-one seemed deterred. We would certainly visit again and highly recommend this very special place

Out of the very many stately homes we have visited over the years, Burghley stands out by far as the best, from the excellent entrance right to the very end we were enthralled by each room and the very knowledgable guides. The video on admittance was so informative about the ancestry etc., a brilliant production. A visit to the gardens is a must as even a5 this time of year, are beautiful. I would highly recommend Burghley to be on everyone’s list of things to do if in the area

Live in the area but never done the house tour. So looked forward to it and even decided to go on the guided tour with Kevin. Was not disappointed and found it fascinating. Would well recommend it and Kevin was very knowledgable. Ask him about Olivia Coleman 👍 Gardens good as well but didn’t give enough time to do both. You need 3 hrs min

I used to live in Stamford and have not visited Burghley House for a long time. It was great to see the improvements to the visitor experience since the mid 1970's! Such a rich tapestry of artwork, furniture and china. Well worth a visit.

Omg this place is amazing. It was our anniversary and we decided to go to Burghley not knowing much except it was the home of Robert Cecil. It is much much more. The visitor experience is excellent, 10/10. It's imaginative and engaging as well as educational. The restaurant was lovely, the staff could not do enough for you and it was very busy. And the Garden of Surprises. My husband and I had so much fun, it's wonderful, such a brilliant idea. If you're in the area, it's a must, well worth the entrance fee, it's a whole day out

We had an amazing day out as a family. The kids loved the adventure playground, and the Easter egg hunt in the sculpture park was great. The team did at Burghley did a brilliant job bringing Easter to life.

First time visiting the house and gardens today and we were really pleased by our visit and had a lovely enjoyable day. We went round the house first and thought it was one of the best we had been around. You get to see plenty of rooms and they are done out well. The house is not overcrowded and the art on the walls and ceilings is fantastic. We then called at the orangery for a bite to eat. We both ordered the lamb burger which came promptly and we thought the price very reasonable for what we had. We then went round the gardens and although not the biggest were nice for the time of year and the garden of surprises was very different. We enjoyed sitting by the lake and relaxing for a while before heading back for another drink and piece of cake at the orangery as the garden cafe was busy and no seats available. All in all we thoroughly enjoyed our day out and thought the price of the house and gardens was fantastic value for money in comparison to other houses we have been round. Also think it’s fantastic you can park your car and enjoy the park for free with your dog. We will be coming back.

When we arrived we were lucky to get the last two spaces on a guided tour...and what a tour it was. Big shout out to Rob who led it for being informative, interesting and funny. It was an hour and a half tour and the quality remained throughout. He kept everyone's attention and was just brilliant. Burghley was fabulous. We ran out of time to see the gardens but the ticket lasts for a year so we plan to return.

Went here for the second year on the trot as part of the National Garden Scheme open day. The gardens were even better than we remembered, the water garden is especially good. It is great to wander around & see all the interesting sculptures in the landscape. The garden centre & garden cafe are excellent & surprisingly good value as well.
