Many changes here since we last visited with a new car park, reception area and busses to transport you closer to the manor ( at a price) although you can walk. Superb exhibits in the house and plenty of refreshment outlets as well as the usual NT shop and Rothschild’s wine shop! Friendly and helpful staff who are keen for you to see everything. Fabulous views and gardens.

I rarely purchase NT guidebooks - there are websites with lots of photos. But I wanted to savor the memory of the spectacular paintings, porcelain, furnishings, and jewelry on display. The story behind the collection and the history of the family is fascinating. Even on a very wet September day, we had a marvelous visit. The gift shop offered a wide range of inventory, and they also have an extensive wine shop. I hope they are able to extend their opening days in the future.

Lovely grounds very grand manor. It does cost to enter, but when compared to the US, I'd say it's on par with the costs. They do have clean toilets, and food/drinks available. The house itself is interesting - there's a wall that swings out to separate raucous parties from sleeping quarters. We spent our time wandering and talking not necessarily taking every detail in. We were fascinated with the chandlers. There seems to be ample parking, however, we were there during the week. There is a bus to take you to the manor. Once outside and around the back of the manor you can see the beauty of the surrounding lands. Walking the paths around the grounds I'd caution anyone in a wheelchair or that has difficulties walking not to walk the wooden paths as they can be steep/slippery at times. They also have a small aviary.

We had a fantastic time my mother has mobility issues and we were provided with a wheelchair for the grounds and another one for inside the Manor. Everyone could not have been more helpful, friendly and kind. Thoroughly recommended. We also stayed at the Five Arrows Hotel which was also exceptional.

We enjoyed the Halloween experience at Waddesden Manor. The afternoon tea was good value for money and was plenty for us! Little tip - you can ask for a box to take home the cakes you don’t eat! We also visited the Manor House - what a well laid out and informative tour!

Atmospheric, attractive Christmas lights walk around the grounds. Gentle background music. A relaxing experience. Recommended. (Also had a delicious London Fog drink part way round the route - Earl Grey tea, vanilla syrup and milk, e.g. oatmilk). In the Stables area (in a room), there is an installation/display based on a children's book, with a few lantern sculptures of animals. Lovely, despite only being a small display. If you don't know the Stables..... it is a lovely place to sit and have a cup of tea. The path to the Stables is quite steep, though, but there is a rail. Beware: the advertised fish and chips had already sold out by 3.30pm. Not sure what I think about the photo-method prints by school children on the way to the Stables. Maybe would have liked a few more or else seen more description of how they were created, as the method sounded interesting. The light/picture projections on the main house are also atmospheric. Quite difficult to photograph, I found. Liked seeing the Christmas stalls, though did not buy anything. Saw cheeses, relishes, brushes (!), wooden products (platters etc), jewellery, fudge, Christmas ornaments, hats, etc. I deliberately arrived at 3pm, so I could walk up to the house, around the outside of the house, then walk down to the Stables when it was still light. Then, when it got dark, I could enjoy the Christmas lights in the grounds. (I heard other people wishing they'd arrived and left a bit later.) Of course, if you visit the house, it's fine arriving earlier, but do try to see the lovely lights after dusk.

Had a lovely time at Waddesdon Manor. You can get a shuttle bus or walk to the manor but be aware that if you struggle to walk there’s a hill that you have to go up to get to the manor. We went quite early and was able to go into the house when there wasn’t many people there. The decor was fabulous. They had the theme of three books, Peter Pan, The Snow Queen and Alice in wonderland going through the rooms. Staff were friendly and were happy to answer questions if they could. The Christmas fair was nice, with an array of different stalls. Once dusk came the light show started on the house and lasted each time about 10mins. The walk of lights were good too. Everything was lovely and the music which they put with everything went really well. There’s cafes to eat and at the stables there’s a fish and chip shop. They have a gift shop too and a wine shop. Overall a good day.

Stunning for Christmas. All rooms decorated very lavishly and beautifully. We used the lift up and down and we were accompanied every time. Very attentive staff - extremely helpful. Christmas Market lovely and very accessible. Afternoon Tea delicious.

We visited Waddesdon Manor for the Christmas market and it was amazing. This is one of our annual visits with our dog and we really enjoyed the bigger market this year and better weather as it gets muddy when it rains. The walk from the car park takes around 20mins but you can take the bus which has long queues and doesn't allow dogs. You could park at premium parking close to the manor but it's always full. Highly recommended visit for the light shows and the Christmas market with local products.

We enjoyed an excellent day at the Christmas event at Waddesdon Manor. The Christmas market, the house and the light show were all very good. The parking and shuttle bus service worked well and the staff were very welcoming. We arrived at 11:30am and left at 5:30pm and although it was very cold, we had everything we needed. The food area was busy, but had every type of food. Well done Waddesdon.
