I attended Prideaux Place with my husband and 5 year old daughter after winning a gift voucher for a guided tour and cream tea experience. My whole family had a wonderful time, we were greeted by both the house manager and a lovely lady in the tea room and we recieved such a friendly warm welcome on arrival.
The tour itself was interesting, the house is beautiful and the tour guide was very informative, personable and charismatic. My husband came away hoping to go on more guided tours in the future - so the bar has been set high!
The grounds are really lovely and have a really peaceful feel to them. My daughter loved exploring in the gardens.
The cream tea was delicious and all the more enjoyable when overlooking the enclosed herd of deer.
I would absolutely recommend to anybody considering visiting this...

I'd highly recommend a visit here, and I'd like to thank Henrietta for such a fantastic guided tour of your amazing...

A very beautiful house with a very interesting history having managed to stay in the same family all these years. Amazing that the current owners still live there and seem to be happy to coexist with the tourists. It gives such a personal and interesting insight. Slightly odd tour guide but maybe that's some of the charm! Had cake and coffee in the café which was very nice. Gardens are relatively small which means they are easy to get round. Whole tour of house, gardens and cake took about 2 1/2 hours but you could spend much longer if you wanted. Cost £10 per adult for house and gardens...
