The guided tour of the house was excellent. Each guide no doubt brings out slightly different aspects of the long family history and wide range of interesting artifacts. So it might be worth doing more than one visit! 😊 And it was a more extensive tour than we had expected. It was one of the best house tours we've been on. Big thank you to Sue, our tour guide. Nice little cafe, with light lunches on offer as well as tea, coffee and cake (which were fab). Do allow time to visit the gardens, both the formal Italianate and informal garden which stretches all the way to an ancient hill fort. All in all it was a really good day out 😎👍👍👍👍 · via Google [Darren Cooper](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/102028092955159387882/reviews) ★★★★★ An amazing place to visit. Staff are amazingly friendly and helpful. The house tour was fantastically informative with our guide Kat. Lasted about 1 hour. Cafe was great, better than alot of natioal trust (but not national trust). The gardens made for a beautiful walk even in this heatwave (lookout for the baby frogs dont you want to squish them) · via Google [Frances Orchard](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/115555659041959479326/reviews) ★★★★★ We arrived when it first opened, so it was not busy, but soon became busier as the morning wore on. The Peacock tea room is a must. The cream tea was wonderful, especially the scones as they were fresh from the oven. Lovely gardens to wander through. Quite easy for those with limited mobility or parents with pushchairs. The house is imposing. The guide was fantastic, providing lots of interesting nuggets of information. The staff were all very welcoming, professional and approachable. Ample free parking. Definitely worth a visit, especially this time of year to see the azaleas, rhododendrons and wisteria. · via Google [CHRISTINA BROOKS](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/114136954240972579965/reviews) ★★★★★ Having recently been widowed, it's up to me now to rebuild my life. Brian and I often visited Pencarrow and loved every aspect of it. I therefore I thought it would be lovely to become a Friend of Pencarrow, which means that I can visit as much as I like and walk my beautiful dog Pom. Springtime is glorious, and after a wet winter, the spring flowers, bluebells, rhododendrons and azaleas were stunning. There is also a very nice courtyard garden with a tearooms. A gift shop in the car park and book shop are also great. · via Google [See all reviews on Google →](https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m4!3m3!1s0x486b774f2c60155f:0x62c6202894f664af!9m1!1b1?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) Visitors say this historic house offers fascinating guided tours with knowledgeable and entertaining guides, bringing the family's history to life.
