National Trust - Bateman's

Lovely National Trust place to visit even at this time of year , just before the full flush of Spring. The House feels very lived in and "comfortable" . Hadn't appreciated how large the outer grounds were to walk around. The walled garden were very well kept. Well done to the volunteers in each room of the house. They gave a wonderful critique of how each room was used and who used them.

Interesting and beautiful house lots of history and information about world renowned writer Rudyard Kipling & family.

Beautiful garden even during Spring imagine how nice it be in the summer.

Lovely cream tea at the cafe reasonable priced food & drinks.

We absolutely fall in love from first site with this place.
It is very well kept and beautiful at any season.
Was very busy when we visited it, but we have managed to go through house, gardens and Mill.
The place is very well signposted.
Very knowledgeable guides.
Nice cafe there too with good selection of sandwiches, cakes and drinks.
Decent car park.
This place is the type which you want to come back again and again.
Definitely recommend it!

A relatively modest property in National Trust terms but very beautiful. The gardens are well kept and a joy to explore. Relatively good access for disabled visitors but there are steps into the house and up in to the bedrooms of course. A ramp can be provided if you request assistance. The onsite team were helpful.

What a lovely place interesting and beautiful gardens. Great outside space for picnics and to be with nature. Lots of walks around the property. Great cafe for a bite to eat and refreshments. Would definitely pay it another visit.

This is a really lovely place, there is so much to see. The house has a very homely feeling and has so much history. The volunteer room guides have a wealth of knowledge and are more than happy to chat. The gardens are amazing with so much colour. There are 3 walks to choose from if you fancy venturi further afield.

Absolutely beautiful spot, the gardens are tranquil & full of colour.
The history of the house & the Kipling family is so interesting, it really is a super place to visit.
Cafe, shop & staff are excellent with great service, yet another wonderful National Trust site to while away a few peaceful hours - stunning.

Beautiful both inside and out. I particularly liked that the inside was left as Kipling had lived in it rather than the usual NT way of 'bunging in' non-relative items. The gardens are well kept and extensive. The cafe is very good, usual NT fayre, set in a nice garden. The short walk to the mill House and pond is also a nice extra. Recommended.
