There are 233 stately homes in England on this list across 46 counties. Cadhay is the best-rated, at 4.9 from 137 Google reviews. Chatsworth House draws the most reviews of any house here, 24,775 of them.

Common questions
How many stately homes can you visit in England?
233 stately homes in England are on this list, spread across 46 counties. Every one of them opens to visitors in some form, whether that is a ticketed house, a regular tour or a hotel occupying the building itself.
Which county has the most stately homes in England?
Devon, London and North Yorkshire tie on 13 each. Next comes Wiltshire on 11. The full spread is 233 houses across 46 counties, every one of them a heading on this page.
Which is the best-rated stately home in England?
Cadhay in Devon, rated 4.9 from 137 Google reviews. Only houses with at least 100 reviews are considered, so a high score from a handful of visitors does not top the list.
Which stately home in England is the most reviewed?
Chatsworth House in Derbyshire, with 24,775 Google reviews at 4.7. That is a rough proxy for how well known and how busy a house is, not a visitor figure, which no house here publishes.
Who runs the stately homes in England?
Of the 233 on this list, 13 are run by English Heritage, 130 are run by the National Trust and the remaining 90 by private estates, independent trusts or local councils. Who owns a house decides whether a membership card gets you in, so each entry names its operator and links to the official site.
