Stables Kitchen

The Hall & Stables at Burton Constable are truly a beautiful place to visit. You can really make a day of walking around the grounds alone, and there are so many quaint spots to sit and take in the house and views of the gardens. The greenhouse behind the Hall is so lovely, the views are unmatched. Many rooms to explore and a perfect place to bring your dog although must be kept on a lead. The staff are very kind, and so helpful. You can buy tickets in advance online or in the gift-shop/cafe as you enter next to the car park.

What an amazing house to visit, we go to a fair number of houses both National Trust and English Heritage and not finding one in this area we found Burton Constable on home maps which is a fascinating place which seems more real in comparison. Now run by a trust which The Constable family gave the property to in 1992 leaving it pretty much as it was at that time and requesting that it is kept that way after many centuries of family ownership. The staff are friendly and there are lots of stories and details. The 32 rooms were all quite different and interesting there was a children's trail of things to spot in each. Particularly understand the stories that goes along with the beautiful piano.

We had the cobwebs and cream tea tour. We started with a self guided tour of the house. Then our very knowledgeable guide took us around the back areas, servants corridors and attics. It was outstanding. You need sensible shoes and knees that can take a lot of stairs! We had upgraded to the full afternoon tea, which was huge and delicious.

Fantastic stately home, one of the finest examples anywhere in the country. Tickets are relatively cheap compared to other places with access to the house, grounds,stables, parklands and lake. The cafe is excellent with delicious food and very generous portions, can't fault it. The grounds are vast and well worth a walk around but it will take time and the house itself is huge and you can easily take two or three hours walking around it. It's well laid out and the route takes you through much of the downstairs and upstairs through bedrooms and parlor rooms each magnificently decorated. I implore you to talk to the guides that are in most rooms as it's fascinating to listen to them and you'll learn so much. A great day out if you're into Downton Abbey as this place will remind you of that. Thoroughly recommend visiting this home.

Burton Constable is a fabulous property to visit. It is now owned & managed by a private trust, but still associated with the Constable family. The house is impressive, containing 100 rooms, although you can only walk through 32. The furniture, paintings, adornments etc, are very opulent, collected over several centuries. There has been a property here for 700 years. There is a large stable complex, plus an excellent cafe/tea room. Lancelot Capability Brown created a lot of the landscape & architecture. There is a beautiful lake which you can walk around, there are also picnic areas. You can purchase a yearly membership pass, if you do this, you will get back your entry fee. I thoroughly recommend a visit to this impressive property.

I really enjoyed our visit. The house is a capsule in time waiting to be explored. The art of decadence is alive and well as you explore the various rooms. Room guides are informative and only too willing to help. The grounds are designed by Capability Brown so far reaching vistas with trees, lake and plenty of grass.

We enjoyed a walk around the grounds and lake of Burton Constable Hall. More like a walk in the country than formal gardens. Nice coffee shop. Informative notice boards along the walk about the wildlife and the hall. We didn't go into the hall but I understand you can look round a large number of rooms.
