Great 3-4 hours out with the family. They've got a great setup. First, the house tour is very interesting and there are lots of cool things inside to see. Guides are knowledgeable about the history of the property. Outside, the gardens are maintained to a high standard and a nice peaceful walk around. For the kids, they have a playground and a miniature locomotive to ride on - very enjoyable 10min ride! The little garden cafe/restaurant food was also quite tasty. Definitely worth a visit!
Beautiful house, the guided tour was very interesting and informative and staff were welcoming. Less able people might find the stairs in the house difficult as there is no lift. The grounds have lots of activities for children including miniature train, boat and play area. Everywhere was very well maintained and lovely to walk around. Definitely recommend.
A stunning gardens, woodland walk, house, dolls house collection and the teddy bear collection.
Plenty of parking, toilets and easy going for children and disabled.
Cafe, restaurant and shop on site.
The sausage and mash was the best.
Ice cream parlour was card payment only (its the way forward, so easy). Kids play area, miniature railway rides and boat trips on the river. A super day out for all.

An enchanted ‘Magical Neverland’! Nature’s masterpiece that filled my senses with joy. An extravaganza of spectacular color & hidden corners to discover. I was blown away by the exotic flowers, the rockery garden & the magnificent japanese gardens. A fabulous dolls house & a bears picnic area a stunning spell binding place. A haven of relaxation to fill one’s mind with joyful thoughts. Something for everyone. My grandson loved the relaxing boat ride & the men who were in charge were very helpful, professional and looked after our needs. The perfect balance of harmony transported us to another world. The amazing staff and charming gardeners always ready with a wonderful smile made our souls blossom. The delicious home made food in the Garden restaurant and cool surroundings along with the welcome ice cream turned our day into an unforgettable experience. The eating areas are immaculate. The bathroom facilities have wheelchair access. There is a baby changing area too. A perfect cool respite on a hot sunny day.
Another fantastic day out at Newby Hall. We always have a wonderful day out and the kids love it. Wether it's exploring the gardens and blowing off some steam in the adventure playground or enjoying an ice cream or miniature train ride through the grounds. There's always something to do. My daughters personal favourite is the water play area (be sure to pack a towel!).
We have yet to explore the house but looking forward to doing so once the little ones are older.
Tickets are a bit on the high side but I understand it is due to the upkeep of such a fantastic place. We always make sure we keep an eye out for deals on tickets etc.
We can't wait to visit again !!
I haven't been inside of the house because it needed booking in advance. The garden was very impressive as far as size is concerned. It has so many rooms and hidden nooks that you can get lost in.
Be sure you go to see the doll houses and teddy bear house!
The visit here was great. We came in the afternoon and had a couple of hours visit but we wish we came in the morning as there was so much more of the gardens to see.
Everything was stunningly kept and the house tour was definitely worth the money. The tour guides were friendly and very knowledgeable about the house - ready to answer any questions too. It was truly fascinating!
Newby hall was originally designed by Christopher wren and then was redesigned later by Robert Adam. So I was expecting a lot from this place, and it didn't dissapoint. Visiting this house is by tour, pre booking def recommended (no photos allowed inside) . The tour guides are informative without providing you with an overwhelming amount of facts. The house itself is filled with a lot of chippendale furniture alongside many items brought back from grand tours of Europe and is truly fascinating. The gardens and borders are beautiful, there are many things to see and do, such as a ride on miniature railway and boat trips on the river. There is also a self serve cafe/restaurant . If you are a member of historic houses then the house and gardens are free to enter too. We'll worth a visit.
Lovely grounds. Nice play area for the kids. Try and get on a 1 hour house tour as it is very interesting.
