A beautiful hall, very well preserved. It's amazing to see how some modern buildings can fall apart quite easily but a Tudor home from over 500 years ago still stands. It's wonky but it's still upright and not under threat of closure. It really is quite a sight to see. The cafe is also delightful and their scones were fantastic. The grounds are quite small compared to some NT estates, but if you are in the area then it's well worth a visit. The hall is surrounded by a moat, which was unusual to see. And it's set in the English countryside. The ground floor of the hall is wheelchair accessible via a level entrance and ramps. There are cobbles as you get over the bridge. It's a reasonably small courtyard and it's still accessible. This includes the cafes and the outside seating area on the lawn. This is a great place to go for afternoon tea. They also have people doing talks at points throughout the day to provide more historical information.

A stunning Tudor built mansion house cared for by the National Trust. Access is easy from the car park and a mere 5 minute walk to the house. There isn't a lot to actually see inside other than some display boards about how the house is constructed and maybe a talk on Tudor dining habits. Interesting enough but I'd allow for a visit of a couple of hours. There are a couple of small cafes on site which provide a nice range of food but as is typical for the National Trust they aren't particularly cheap. Grounds are well kept and provide for a nice walk if the weather is good

Fantastic house to visit. The way the timber frame has moved over the centuries as parts of the house have been added is really interesting. Walking around the interior is a bit like being in a fun house with floors running one way and door frames and walls another. The inner gardens are small mainly laid out for cafe use and the baby ducks around you feet are a delight. The lady that did a small talk about the house in period dress was excellent. The view from outside with the mote around the house are beautiful.

It is a very interesting building, but if you are OCD about things being level, then give it a miss. It is fascinating to look at and figure out how it's put together, how it's still standing after 500 years, and what life was like living in it. Luckily, there is a guidebook, or you can read the information boards dotted about or ask a volunteer any questions you may have. There are a few stairs to get to the upper levels, floors are uneven, and dogs are not allowed. There is a cafe and toilets and a shop. Interesting, but it's best if you tie it in with somewhere else

Great day out. We visited on a national heritage day when it was free admission. Its normally about £15 per person. It was a great visit with a very interesting talk by one of the guides. lovely cafe for a brew or lunch. Will definitely recommend to friends

Large Tudor-style house and a small, formal garden, all set within an enclosing moat. With a rambling interior and narrow twisting stairs, the upstairs is difficult to access, but any amendments to improve access would lose some of its charm. With plenty to explore on the ground floor, it is still worth a visit for the less active.

Property is beutifull, we were lucky to be there in time for a talk about the family and the property. Had a sweet and a cheesy little tea in Mrs Dale's Tea-Room, and that was amazing, more than worth it's money. Well recommended

What a gem of an Historic building. The informative talk was not only interesting but also entertaining. These people volunteering here giving there time & passion to this House deserve applause respect & admiration.

A fascinating building that was constructed on the grounds almost 500 years ago. The Moreton family continued there for a while, before the property changed in hands with certain provisions about what would be done with the Hall itself. It's in the midst of lovely Cheshire countryside of a long winding road an hour south of Manchester. A car park near the entrance leads to an welcome building (with gift shop and secondhand books) with toilets around the back, before you walk the short distance to Little Moreton Hall itself, which is surrounded by a moat. There are gardens and opens spaces to be enjoyed - though it was raining the last time I went, so we were keen to get inside. Little Moreton Hall is fascinating, but you should take care if you have accessibility issues, need walking support, or have a pram or pushchair. There are cobbled courtyards and half the building is only accessible by stairs. But, what a building it is. The traditional materials and construction have led to a gradual distortion, which means the upper floors are at a slight angle and in areas with stonework you can see where the timber-framed walls are pitched away at a slightly different degree. Plenty of guides and support staff on site, to provide information about the building, point you in the right direction, or serve you up with a nice bit of tea/coffee and cake. The cafe serves sandwiches and a soup of the day, too. Well worth a visit, whatever the weather. But, to get the most out of it, good weather would be ideal and you would do well to visit during the week, if possible, to avoid a crush to get around and see things at your own pace.

A lovely location to visit, with two small cafes. I would caution there is no wifi and hardly any phone coverage here so ensure you have cash incase your banking app doesn't work. The hall is an amazing shape, the volunteers do amazing talks and you should ensure to engage closely with them.
