Amazing Art Deco interiors and lovely peaceful gardens - great for our picnic-but there was nothing in the rose garden . A very minor complaint after a wonderful visit. Look out for the lemur ladder!

Time Out London

This stunning art deco house was built in 1936. The 19-acre garden really comes into its own during summer, when the long border transforms into a riot of herbaceous perennials . Read more

19 August: Admire the grand panelled Swedish Entrance Hall, with concrete and glass dome and the bedroom of the Courtaulds' pet ring-tailed lemur , Mah-Jongg. Art Deco features contrast with Tudor .

Great place to visit. Lovely gardens . Free car park . Ideal for a picnic before going in.

John Whelan

Gorgeous 1930's Art Deco home bolted on to the remains of a Plantagenet / Tudor palace with stunning garden (and big fish in a moat kinda thingy)

Mike Brosche

Great tour (audio visual guide), well worth the visit

This glamorous Art Deco London showpiece as built in 1936, next to the remains of a medieval royal palace , and surrounded by 19 acres of garden . A striking visit!

Gary Heather

Amazing art deco blends with mediaeval grandeur. See how the other half lived!

Londonist

London's best stately home. You get a mix of Medieval , Tudor and Art Deco . And look out for the giant fish in the moat.

Amazing palace with very unique interiors

£15 each entry fee is a rip off. Kenwood house in Hampstead is just as nice and is free

We were in the queue before 3pm and when we got to the front they told us the kitchen closed at 3 so we couldn't have anything. 9 months pregnant and they wouldn't give me a bowl of soup. Disgraceful - Heather
