What visitors say
This NT deserves 5 stars! Beautiful house, wonderful grounds including gardens and woodlands. Amazing wildlife and peaceful bird house. Volunteers are very nice too. Highly recommend. We love it 😍❤️

We had a lovely visit to The Vyne. The house itself is not very big, but it is beautiful and full of character. The volunteers were lovely, welcoming, and very knowledgeable, which made the experience even more enjoyable. One of the highlights is definitely the famous oak tree and its interesting story — it is a must see during your visit. I would also highly recommend taking a walk around the woods. The walk is not very long, but it is absolutely beautiful, with lovely trees and stunning bluebells creating a peaceful atmosphere. I also really liked the grazing cows and geese around the grounds, which made the visit feel even more peaceful and charming. A perfect place for a relaxing day out

We chose here on the way back from holidaying in Dorset to Northants..What a wonderful place-much larger than expected. Plenty of parking and we entered the house with it's Adam's style entrance which belies the tudor history seen in all it's glory later on the walk-through. Every single room attendant was eager to impart information about their room.They were engaging and were happy to look up in their notes anything they didn't know.Narvinder (hope spelt correctly) was so welcoming, calm and had such a love of history.We spent so much time in the house and would definitely return to the house as there is so much to see. The grounds are pleasant with woodland walks and a walk by the "reservoir"and the weir is well worth doing. Even though it wasn't a good day weatherwise we had a smashing day and will return.Thank you to all the team.

Nice day out and beautiful gardens to wander around. Not sure I could spend more than 3 hours here or a whole day but enjoyed it none the less. Staff dotted around the house itself we're super helpful and kind sharing really lovely details of the place with lots of knowledge and really easy to speak to and ask questions! Made the experience I must say.
