Autumnal Atmospheric Private Group Visit of House and Gardens
2021年10月 • 好友
We had a fantastic private guided tour, and greeted with a pre tour tea, coffee and cakes and a roaring fire in the exceptional unaltered 14th Century Barons Hall. I am a Blue Badge Tour Guide myself and Penshurst is certainly an unbeatable authentic historic experience of a home and gardens in the same family since 1552. I have to say the setting of Penshurst and its genuine feeling of history left all of our group of 12 knowing the visit was a very special experience thanks to our excellent guide Suzanne.

Where history was made
2021年9月 • 独自旅游
There’s something for everyone at penshurst, the young too the old. The house has so much history plus the room guides were so knowledgeable and chatty, your given a information sheet for each room as room notes are not available at the moment. The gardens are looking blooming and you would never tell covid as caused cut backs on the gardeners as their so well looked after. I Visited mid September and a lot of colour welcomed me. There’s also a playground for the kiddies, a cafe, gift and plant shop plus it’s really reasonable and definitely worth the entrance price as there’s so much to see and do. It may not be so well known as it’s closest cousin hever but it’s definitely on par.

Quite lovely
2021年9月
It was a beautiful day which in the summer of 2021 was a rarity but what luck that we chose it to visit Penshurst Place. It looked quite exquisite nestled amongst the woods and hills and the gardens were sublime, way in excess of our expectations. Add to that the fascinating ancient house and it was a day to remember. We were there for three hours and could have spent twice that time. A wonderful glimpse i to Englands history and a thoroughly interesting day.

Very pleasant afternoon spent here. Reasonable cost and a decent amount of the building to look at for the fee. Gardens sort of over now but still well worth a visit.

Interesting house, beautiful gardens!

Very interesting old house, once owned by Henry VIII. Loved the 18 gardens, which all have different themes. Such a lovely place to spend a few hours.

I do hope we can welcome you back soon.

Spend your money elsewhere
2021年8月
Nice gardens (those that are being maintained anyway). Nice playground for the kids. Expensive cafe - £5.50 for 2 small scones and a miniature jar of jam and cream for example. Toilets closed, disabled access is extremely poor. Pretty easy to address by providing ramps, portable or permanent. The 'Toy Museum' really doesn't contain enough exhibits or information to call itself a museum - it's more of a small collection, housed in one room that seems only to be accessible by a flight of steep steps. No good for the disabled or those with poor mobility.
The public is limited to a very small selection of rooms in the house, only ONE of which is accessible to wheelchairs. One of two downstairs rooms simply contains a few photographs of the cast of 'Wolf Hall' and a couple of cabinets produced for the series. That's it. This room is not accessible to wheelchair users, but, quite frankly, they aren't missing anything.
Similar photos are used as 'fillers' in the upstairs 'State Rooms'.
The upstairs 'State Rooms' - I think there were 4 of them) are extremely sparsely populated with exhibits spread out to try and give the impression that there are more than there actually are and I'm pretty sure that staff (volunteers?) were the oldest things in a couple of the rooms.
However, should you be a wheelchair user, or have limited mobility, you can view a DVD of the tour upon request......
Entry to House and Gardens cost us £13 each today and was £7 per child aged 5 to 15. Gardens only were £11 for adults and £6.50 for children. There are family tickets available but these give a meagre saving of £4 for a family of 2 adults & 2 children. Given the incredible limitations in access for wheelchair users and those with limited/poor mobility, I believe that it's actually outrageous to charge them anything for access. I understand that carers get in free, but this doesn't mitigate these limitations.
The gardens are nice to wander around but £11/£6.50 per person for a nice picnic spot is pretty steep.

Dear Mark,
Thank you for your review and for visiting us here at Penshurst Place.
I’m sorry to read that after your visit you felt we were simply a nice picnic spot. With 11 acres of beautiful formal gardens, a medieval house and centuries of history behind us, we are much more than that.
As a listed building, we are somewhat limited as to the alterations we can make to accommodate our visitors with accessibility issues, though we acknowledge there is always more one can do to ensure all visitors are informed and confident about adjustments to their visit, before they head out, and we will be reviewing how we communicate this information.
That leads me to address your issues with the House itself, and whilst I could happily talk through the period furniture and the family portraits in the House and their historical importance to the owners and indeed the nation, you overstepped the line from a constructive review to an insulting one with your offensive comment about our (paid) members of staff. Outside of their working hours, our staff read, research and learn about the Sidney family at Penshurst Place and we are incredibly grateful for their loyalty and passion for our history, the family, and our team. Your comment has negated any positive impact you might have intended to make.

Nice for a wander round
2021年8月 • 夫妻情侣
This is privately run and noticeably different from similar National Trust properties. I’d give 3.5 if I could!
There are few rooms open in the main house and due to covid, not a lot of info available. We found this a little odd as there were numbers on many of the paintings, but no key anywhere to let you know what you’re looking at. They said they’ve had to take out laminated copies for each room, but you’d think a sign up would be fairly easy for people to read if they’re interested.
Some rooms had excellent signage - it was rather inconsistent!
In the Barons hall there’s a picture painted ‘fairly recently’ (i.e 20-30 years ago?) with the late Queen Mother present. It has an excellent key telling you who all the visitors are, but no indication of date, or the reason for the gathering given! Really odd!
The gardens are lovely, a mixture of formal and places to admire ‘set pieces’ of flowerbeds, places for children to play and watch the fish.
It was fairly well laid out for visitors. We didn’t use the toilets or cafe but we felt a reasonable price for what we received. Young children were enjoying the adventure playground which looked great for little ones.

Beautiful house steeped in history. The gardens were outstanding & full of quirky little surprises. Lovely shop, cafe needs improvement. Gorgeous walk in the peaceful Kent countryside surrounding the estate - you can hire bikes as well.

What is the best way to get to Penshurst Place from Leigh Station?
I would love to spend some time here when I go to London in the near future. Is there a bus that runs on a periodic schedule or would it be better to take a taxi (or even walk)?

Hi, I do believe there is a bus from Leigh but cant tell you what number or how often. But I would think a taxi would be the best option if they have taxi's at Leigh station. Hope this is of some help.

My sister isn’t very mobile following a fall and is using a wheeled walker. She can manage a few stairs, if they aren’t too steep. I’m wondering how much of Penshurst Place would be accessible for her?

The grounds are quite flat - eg the Knot Garden - and the Great Hall is accessible after a few steps up. Upstairs apartments would not be good for someone with mobility problems.

Does anybody know who has visited recently (writing this 6th July) if the peonies have opened? Visited 7 weeks ago and they looked like they would bloom soon!

Hi Krisyyy, we're afraid the Peonies have a famously short bloom and are no longer in flower. If you visit our website you can add your name and email address to our alert list and we can let you know ahead of time in 2019 when we expect them to bloom.

There are indeed. We have a self-service restaurant with hot and cold meals, cakes, sandwiches and drinks, as well as a coffee shop at our visitor entrance. Toilets are both at the visitor entrance and the top of the gardens.

How big is the Toy museum? Is it worth organising a school trip here or is the museum too small?
TwoDividedByZero
英国伦敦288 条分享
If you are thinking of making the visit with a school group purely for the toy museum, I'd say absolutely, definitely not! It's a lovely little museum but is very small, and I simply can't imagine a group of children fitting in easily, even if you split a class up into very small groups, nor can I imagine their attention being held for more than a few minutes. The toys are in glass cases and the information about them is in a booklet that the lady on the desk gives you. I've popped into it a few times with my children on our visits there on the past few years (they are currently Y8 and Y6!) and although they are sensible and curious children and like to have a look, I can't say that we have ever spent longer than ten to fifteen minutes in there.
However, Penshurst as a whole could be a good school trip, depending on the age you are thinking about, as the house might be good from a historical point of view for older children (KS2), the gardens are nice for a runabout, and best of all there is a fantastic adventure playground - but that's very big and all on grass so best left for the summer!
If you have a look under 'Groups' on their website they explain what they can offer for schools there.
