This is an exquisite historic home with magnificent gardens. The interior of the house is only viewable during scheduled tours. We arrived for the 11:00 tour which only had about 9 people. Our tour guide was Charlie and she had quite a bit of information to share with us.
One of the interesting facts was in regards to the house being open to needy pregnant women during World War II. Over 1200 babies were born here during that time, and each was gifted a silver sixpence prior to leaving. The house holds the policy that any person who was born here is offered free admittance for the tour. I found that to be quite touching.
There is an attached chapel that continue to be used by family and often is open to the public for various events.
The gardens in the back are worth taking the time to admire.
Such a beautiful place. Fantastic for a long walk or a day out with the kids! Plenty to do here like feed the ducks, see the fairy garden, play in the playsets or just go for a relaxing stroll.
Great day out. Lots of parking, plenty of free walks with lots to see. Lovely clean cafe with good selection.
A beautiful place to walk around, plenty for all ages! There are toilets facilities available and a wee shop too with gifts. Perfect number of spots for picnics too, or to take the kids and let them run around until they are tired. Another plus was the Car parking was only £3 for the whole day! Or I think you can pay for 2 hours too!
A great place to visit for all ages. Lots to see and do to keep you busy for a couple of hours. It's definitely worth a visit 5*
The cafe was lovely with wonderful staff. It was dog friendly. The gardens were beautiful. My wife had a lovely guided tour of the house.
This was a very nice experience for us. The guided tour was absolutely worth it. Interior was beautiful, every corner was amazing. Loved everything. The place and estate was good too.
Beautiful, peaceful & quiet place. Well maintained lawns. Good for a complete day out with family and friends.
Dine-in and coffee places closes at 1600hrs.
Decided to walk from Methlick out to Haddo house with the dogs. The walk takes you into the back of Haddo near the disabled parking.
There has been a lot of work done on the grounds since my last visit as they continue to clear up the damage caused by the storms. They have done a terrific job clearing all of the downed trees. A lot more work will be required to replace the lost trees however the grounds themselves are looking good.
Never used the cafe this time maybe next time.
Plenty of ducks geese and swans for the kids to feed but remember no bread. Dogs enjoyed themselves even although they were kept on the lead. Can't wait to visit in the summer when the gardens will be in full bloom.
It was a lovely place to visit. Set in a beautiful area full of long walks and magnificent views. The house is a treasure, full of exceptional items from a long time ago. The volunteers are just so helpful and knowable about the home and area. After a fantastic time in the house,it's a really great place to visit. The cafe. Great coffee and cakes. We'll done all.
