Chillington Hall has been home to the Giffard family for over 800 years. Reviewers describe a private house in a quiet countryside setting that remains in use as a residence, and say this does not get in the way of the welcome given to visitors. The surrounding parkland comes up often, both for general walks and for organised activities such as guided fungi walks.
Worth the trip
The family history, which reviewers say gives the house a depth that a purely architectural visit would not have.
Before you go
The house is still a private residence and tours cover a limited number of rooms - one reviewer saw only three rooms and the staircase - so set expectations accordingly and allow time for the grounds.
Reviewers value the peace and lack of crowds here, describing the Capability Brown parkland, lakes and gardens as tranquil and easily walked. The house is still a private residence, which reviewers say adds to rather than detracts from the welcome, and one was shown round by a member of the family whose stories they felt brought it alive. Opinions differ on how much of the house you see: while some praise the tour, one reviewer felt it was thin, having seen only three rooms and the staircase, and another wanted more historical context. Events also come up, with a guided mushroom walk described as informative and enjoyable, and one visitor notes the hall takes some finding.
Home of the Giffard family for over 800 years.
“Lovely building. Good tour, felt like there could of been a bit more. We only saw 3 rooms and the stairs really. Nice mince pies and drink after.”- Lottie Smith, visitor review
