Stonor Park has been home to the Stonor family for over 850 years. Reviewers describe a manor house in parkland with deer, pheasants and wild birds, and consistently praise the volunteer guides inside as friendly and well informed. Many visitors come for the grounds alone: there is a walk up the hill opposite for views back over the estate, a visitor centre with a cafe by the car park, and a large children's play area.
Worth the trip
The volunteer guides, who reviewers repeatedly single out for how much they add to the house.
Before you go
Reviewers say the house opens on far more limited days than the gardens and parkland - some found it open only one day a week - so check house times before planning a visit around it.
Reviewers describe the parkland and views as the main appeal, with deer, pheasants and red kites mentioned, and one recommending the short climb up the hill opposite for the outlook. The Tumblestone Hollow play area is praised strongly by families, with one reviewer calling it the best adventure playground they had visited, and the visitor centre beside the car park provides a cafe and toilets. Volunteer guides in the house are described as friendly and helpful, and reviewers mention the manor's long history and the family's Catholic connections. The main criticism is access: one reviewer found the house open only at limited times and on few days, which made it inconvenient to see, and would like better weekend availability.
Home of the Stonor family for over 850 years.
