Just a wonderful place to visit. Great cafe, lovely house and grounds to walk around and enjoy the historical information all pretty standard stuff until that is you get to the absolutely amazing toy museum. So many memories, just an amusing place to visit on its own and even without the other stuff would be worth a visit all on its own. Can't wait to go back to see more childhood memories brought to life I can heartily recommend it.
If you have young kids, then a trip to the museum is totally worth it. We have national trust membership, so entry was free . But if you aren't a member you'd need to get admission tickets . Not sure if you'd fancy paying 27 odd for a family ticket though . Toys from different eras on display. With kids, I'd say about 1 1/2 hours you would need if you were to go through each of the displays in detail . Kids really enjoyed the climb up the soot chimney, the victorian era school with the classroom , the roof of the "home" section where you see bedrooms from 3 different eras hung upside down and the play area just before the exit . Would definitely go again , and will plan to visit the hall too next time . I reckon one would need about 3 -4 hours to explore both the hall and the museum , and the cottages behind . There's a church nearby too, but not sure if the kids would be willing to do all that walking without complaining . The car park is quite away from the hall and the museum so keep that in mind whenever you go . But definitely worth the trip .
Used to visit here as a child and there was always so much to do and lots to interact with in the museum. Visited with my own children and there really wasn't much interactive stuff anymore. Obviously it's a museum but it's a shame when it used to be so good. Good outdoor play area and shelter provided for prams whilst in the museum.
Well-restored country house with plenty to see inside, and an adjoining Museum of Childhood with a good number of exhibits of toys and games going back to the Victorian period and beyond.Very nice cafe on site, reasonably priced. Parking is a short 5 minute walk along flat ground from the house, and does include crossing a main road but it is usually not too busy.When arriving be sure to go to the ticket office round the far side of the house first - you will approach from the right side from the car park and the ticket office (and Childhood museum, toilets and cafe) are all on the left side of the house round the corner.
One of the few National Trust Houses that remain open through the winter period. A must visit for all Regency Lovers. The Plasterwork ceilings and Wood Carvings are truly amazing. The incredible amount of artwork in this house and the history of the Vernon family and the village of Sudbury are fascinating. The children will love the Museum. There is also a great secondhand bookshop, cafe and the adjacent Courtyard with lots of small local gift shops to peruse.
