What visitors say
Cragside House and Grounds is one of the most beautiful places I’ve visited. The grounds are absolutely stunning, with peaceful woodland walks, lakes, waterfalls, and breathtaking views around every corner. It’s easy to spend hours exploring and enjoying the scenery. What really surprised me, though, was the interior of the house. Every room is beautifully preserved and full of character, with incredible craftsmanship, fascinating history, and so many unique details to admire. It feels both grand and welcoming, and you can really imagine what life was like there. The way innovation and elegance come together throughout the house makes it a truly unforgettable experience. Whether you’re interested in history, architecture, nature, or simply looking for a fantastic day out, Cragside is a place I’d highly recommend. It’s one of those rare places where both the house and the grounds are equally spectacular, and I’ll definitely be returning.

As a member of National Trust, this is one of most beautiful places I have visited so far. However, any site and places of National trust is stunning and for me has the " wow factor" and most beautiful - every time. All the places wouldn't make as beautiful without people who work there (volunteer), passionate, knowledgeable and helpful. Highly recommended to get membership - as there is so many places to explore. Motto "Kindness don't cost anything"

Very nice, beautiful place!!! I recommend to everyone to see that. House have interesting with that time interior and first smart house in that century ♥️ Very rich history. Around house have beautiful walking path, but area is very big. To the some view areas can drive with car. We was there end of May, when all around has bloomed, specially rhododendrons. ♥️ House is opened short time, 11am till 4pm, garden till 5 pm. Iff want to see all and walking in all walking path, then recommended coming from morning time. Staff is very friendly, explain where to go and what to see and answer on your questions. All areas around and inside, is clean and tidy up. Tickets we bought to the entrance. This is place for all day - im 💯% recommended to visit it! ♥️😍👍

One of the most amazing houses I have ever visited, a true marvel. Very highly recommended. Full of surprises, beauty and information (which I find is very lacking in alot of national trust properties). Very friendly and helpful staff. The grounds are spectacular too with lots of walks around the estate and lots to see. A real must if you are anywhere in the area
