It is also a long way from the car park to the house, there is a bus service to and from although the timings did not fit the tours of the house, a bit odd. Anyway we walked on a bright sunny day and it was glorious. The house, never completed but definitely worth a guided tour and the guides know their stuff. Well worth a visit, take your own food though, my only complaint ,food too dear,£4.50 for a sausage roll and that's just an example. Enjoyed the visit and would go again, with a picnic to tour the gardens and woodlands. · via Google [The Royal Butler](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/104629991216061052050/reviews) ★★★★★ Woodchester Mansion near Stroud is an architectural wonder, unfinished since 1873, revealing bare beams, unplastered walls, and exquisite Gothic carvings up close! Guided tours (11:45am/2:30pm) unveil its history and resident bats on CCTV, perfect for history lovers. Surrounded by National Trust Woodchester Park for woodland walks. A hidden gem worth the drive · via Google [Phil Kerswell](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/102586507158375617709/reviews) ★★★★★ Wow… must see extraordinary unfinished mansion…. For the best, Make sure you go during the open season, when you can go inside this huge amazing gothic revival house. Well worth doing the free 90min guided tour … but don’t worry, you can self guide too. It’s a huge place, which was part built 1850-70 and then deserted for 100 years. You can visit the part-completed upper floors & see unfinished construction methods, great stonework. If you miss the open days, go see the outside anyway. It’s a lovely walk. A real hidden gem. A few things : Car park is National Trust. House is a local trust charity. Park & outside house free all year round. House open Fri-Sun spring to late October - see website. Loos & small coffee shop only open when house open. · via Google [Geoffrey Ashton](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/116777672436832891646/reviews) ★★★★★ Didn't go in as the entry fee of £13 is just too much for a building still having work done on it. It is in a nice location with lovely walks though. · via Google [See all reviews on Google →](https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m4!3m3!1s0x48710a5f4e01c493:0x83a2ce772cb1eeaf!9m1!1b1?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) Visitors say this mansion offers a fascinating glimpse into an unfinished Gothic revival house with exquisite stonework and unique construction methods.
