John was definitely the "rich boy" of the fab four! He was lucky to reside here w/ his adoring aunt & uncle .Beautiful home & gardens. It's nice to see where & how someone who had such an affect on the world comes from. If you want to SEE INSIDE these homes, don't be fooled by the many "Beatle Tours".... More

We did an organised tour with the National Thrust and this is the only way you can visit the house and go inside. It was fantastic to see how the house would have looked in the early 1960 and to see memorabilia that have been given and the tour guides great talk about the lives of John and his family... More

Great value - picked up from jurys and taken (second) to Mendips. The guide (Paula perhaps?) was great, despite the fact there had been an attempted break in the night before and there was still some glass etc (it had to be left for police), it did not deter her giving a full and detailed tour, some really interesting items...

A complex character, and this excellent presentation provides a few clues as to why. Very knowledgable guide and a very worthwhile trip.

Loved the house. So very generous of Yoko to have purchased this and handed it over to the NT for safe keeping. Shame you couldn't take photos inside the house or in the beautiful garden.

Lovely experience. Great tour guide who was very informative and happy to answer any questions. She obviously loved her job... Who wouldn't!! The house has been very well cared for with some interesting personal items on display like childhood drawings etc. It cost £60 for 3 of us and we were picked up from the jury's inn hotel reception area...

If you are a Beatles fan, you have to come to Mendips. To walk in the home where John spent his formative years, gives a visitor an understanding of what influenced John's music. Seeing the room where John dreamed of his future was truly inspiring. The house is set up as it was at the time John lived in it.... More

It was a pleasure to visit this home of John Lennon, and I am very grateful to Yoko Ono in her generous donation of it to the National Trust. I just do not understand why photos are not allowed, and having my bag locked up was an unpleasant surprise. It is unfortunate that some people in the past have stolen... More

A great experience...sadly not able to take photos inside. The trip coould be enhanced by the minibus drive which could be playing beatles music passed places of interest.
