A castellated manor that's been the Croft family seat for centuries, with an older exterior wrapped around largely Georgian interiors inside. National Trust also maintains the surrounding parkland and the Fishpool Dingle woodland walk, which reviewers rate as highly as the house itself.
Worth the trip
The Fishpool Dingle woodland walk through the estate — reviewers consistently mention it in the same breath as the house, not as an afterthought.
Before you go
The house itself is a fairly quick visit at 20-30 minutes, so pair it with the walled garden and the Dingle walk to make a full day of it; the walled garden is best outside early spring, when reviewers say it has more to offer.
Reviewers enjoy Croft's walled garden, parkland and church, with the house itself often described as a fairly quick visit (20-30 minutes) given Georgian interiors that are only partly open to the public. A couple of reviewers mention being pleasantly surprised by how much there was to see despite expecting less, and the cafe's lunch options were noted as somewhat limited on one visit.
Castellated manor, Croft family seat
“Interesting building. Inside decor is Gorgian and absolutely gorgeous while the the exterior is much older. Very friendly stewards who allowed me to play the lovely Bluthner piano. Walled garden not very interesting in…”— Sheila Joynes, visitor review
