Arundells

Former Prime Minister Ted Heath's house. Fascinating personal items, lovely gardens and very good guides. Highly recommend.

Very enjoyable visit and very knowledgeable guides. We will be back as we didn't manage to read all the information and of course for another wander in that beautiful garden!

This is a really enjoyable visit. The thing that we noticed is that it isn't like a national trust property with items and artifacts from lots of different periods, this was Edward Heath's home, unchanged since he lived there. As such it is definitely a home with so many interesting things to look at. The guides were informative and helpful and the garden fabulous. A lovely afternoon.

Really interesting - especially the paintings, photos and other collections. Lovely house left just as it was on Heath's death. There is also an interesting exhibition on the Ugandan Asian refugee crisis of 1972. Guides were lovely. Worth a visit for anyone, regardless of personal politics!

The last owner of Arundells was Sir Edward Heath. He lived here, and all of his collections (arts, books, personal things) are in the original place, as he used it.
It was really interesting, everyone in the house was really knowledgeable about him and his life.
Garden is just simple amazing.
Worth to visit!

Really excellent venue. Quite apart from famous last owner, the house has lots of other history. Garden also a treat, will try to visit again in spring or summer

Well worth a visit - the guided tour (lasts about an hour) is fantastic. Wonderful gardens to the rear.

Really worth a visit. You see exactly how the house was lived in all furniture etc was as left. The items and photos on show were really interesting. The gardens were a riot of colour. The staff were informative, friendly and welcoming. Seeing how someone lived who I remembered from not too long ago made the visit well worth while. Excellent value for money.
