What visitors say
We enjoyed a truly wonderful day yesterday, with thanks to our knowledgeable guide Julie. What a gem of a property which twists and turns through the tour. The priest holes are both fantastic and frightening when you consider the poor individuals hiding away for extended times. The gardens are beautifully cared for and the Malt House is worth a mention for the fabulous sandwiches that are filling. Our visit coincided with an artisan market which added to our enjoyment. Highly recommend

Very informative tour guide who knew several histories: the persecution of the Catholics, the development of priest hides, Elizabethan construction and decoration and the ownership of the house. Everyone we met was very friendly including the manager. Tea shop was excellent. Grounds were very peaceful. We were able to do the full 75 minute tour of all floors using a walking stick as the stairs all have handholds, there are usually chairs to sit on in rooms where you stay longer.

Harvington Hall is an absolute treasure! Well worth a visit. A credit to Worcestershire and to the volunteers who work extremely hard to make this incredible house what it is. Special Mention to our friendly, approachable, knowledgeable and entertaining guide Lynne, Thank you very much for our tour. A guided tour is a must, 2 hours worth of history, intrigue, wonder and beauty. I would suggest that the tour may be a little too long for younger children however the grounds and house are delightful and would be fine for families to visit. The gift shop is well stocked and displays locally made produce, the Malt House Coffee shop looked very welcoming and had some delicious looking cakes, unfortunately we didn't have time to indulge this time, but we will return!! Harvington Hall also has events through the year such as Elizabethan living history events, Artisan Markets and Garden parties.
