Fantastic little café. Friendly staff, quick service, lots of options on the menu and coffees. This is a regular stop for many cyclists. Plenty of space for bikes. Sandwiches are recommended.

Very nicely and quaint place, lovely museum with a good collection of items, not just Gilbert White but others linked to the house. Everything has been kept so original and fine, very informative and interesting. The ticket we purchased allows free entry through the year, looking forward to coming back in the spring. Free parking, if you get a space in the first car park. Excellent facilities and very helpful staff, we thoroughly enjoyed the day.

19th August - Beautiful house and gardens. The shop had a good choice of gifts.
We didn't find the car park, but there is one if you can't find it, parking in the village is awkward.
The cafe served a lovely range of cakes which were really good. Club sandwich was amazing. The service was quick, and there was plenty of space to sit,with lots of room in between tables too.
I personally loved the amount of information available in the house and the simplicity of the garden.
Must go to at least once.

We visited the Jubilee Tap which serves the various excellent beers from the Gilbert White brewery. We had a lovely lunch and we were given a tasting of all 5 beers on tap before we chose which ones to order. A lovely warm friendly welcome and lots of information about the beers and also Gilbert White himself. The house and garden are well worth a visit and the cafe is very good too (also serves the same beers in bottle). The Jubilee Tap is just the other side of the road from the house so you can visit both. Highly recommended if you are near Selbourne

I've been aware of this place for years but had never gotten around to visiting until now, and what a lovely museum it is!
Very friendly and well kept. A great shop and cafe. Most importantly the museum tells its stories very well, but I won't spoil them here.
Fantastic gardens as well.
You can buy a ticket that will let you visit for a whole year for the same price.
Very friendly and helpful staff.
This is really more than one museum...

Gilbert White was one of the most influential Natural Historians ever to have lived, and his house, gardens and grounds show what made him interested in nature. They are beautiful. We went on a Nature Day event, with walks and talks on a range of subjects and activities for children to partake in. We will return on a normal day to take it all in again.

The area is well maintained and the gardens are plentiful with gorgeous blooms, especially in spring. The house tour is nice, but personally I’d only visit again for the gardens, as it’s a nice picnic spot.

Excellent place. Garden beautiful even on a cold March day - snowdrops everywhere. We had a guide around the house - she really knew about Gilbert White and his family. Fascinating to listen to. Great coffee, lovely lunch and then we went to see the 12th c church - beautiful. Really worth a visit.
