"This was our second visit to Boughton House and we loved every second of it. Their snowdrop weekend was brilliant - the snowdrops amongst other flowers looked beautiful, and the grounds are so well kept. We could easily have spent hours walking around as the grounds are VAST! The House itself wasn't open but if it's anything like the grounds, then I'm sure it's beautifully kept as well. There is a lovely gift shop on-site with very friendly staff, a reasonably priced tearoom, clean toilets and plenty of free parking on-site as well. We can't wait for our return visit!"

"Beautiful house, gardens were amazing. Tour guides knew their stuff. Not to many people on the tour, so we could hear everything. Just enough time between tours, to fit in a bit of lunch, sandwiches were good. Toilets were the nicest, cleanest toilets I have every used in a public place. Wear your walking boots if you plan on seeing everything. Well worth the money."

"One of the hidden gems of Northamptonshire. Glorious gardens and a stunning house to look round once lockdown is lifted. Great little gift shop as well. When it's Christmas time you can also buy a great tree from here as well."

Our extended Gardens, Landscape and Parkland opening in 2022! We have missed visitors during the covid-19 pandemic so this year we are opening our outdoor areas even more. In addition to House opening dates, the Gardens will be open Mondays and Tuesdays in May. And in June and July, the wider Landscape and Parklands (including the walled garden) will also be open to enjoy.
