Renishaw Hall has been home to the Sitwell family since 1625. The gardens draw the most comment, described as extensive, varied and notably peaceful even when the car park is busy, with unusual trees among the things reviewers enjoyed finding. The hall tour is rated a highlight by several visitors, and the tea rooms and shop are generally well liked.
Worth the trip
The gardens, which reviewers say stay quiet and unhurried even on busy days and let you walk as much or as little as you like.
Before you go
One reviewer notes there are no toilets within the gardens themselves, so you have to leave the garden area and come back; a few also found tea room service disorganised at busy moments.
The gardens dominate the reviews, described as extensive and varied, running from formal planting to lakeside and woodland walks, and several visitors comment on how peaceful and uncrowded they felt even with a full car park. Those who took the hall tour found it informative and engaging and rated it a highlight. The cafe is generally well reviewed for the quality and generosity of the food, although one visitor found the service somewhat disorganised. Staff come in for consistent praise, including a member of the visitor centre team who advised on a route suitable for a mobility scooter. One reviewer's main criticism is the lack of a toilet within the gardens, which means leaving the garden area and coming back.
Home of the Sitwell family since 1625.
“Lovely gardens to wander through and around. Needs a toilet block within the gardens as you need to exit the gardens to go to the loo and with there being lots of garden areas to see, you might not be ready for…”- Julie Dickinson (JuJu61), visitor review
