Very friendly place staff were all very nice particularly a gentleman called Paul who went and got some water for me as I was having a coughing fit very attentive to the customers

This is the first time we have actually visited the house and oh my word...it is stunning...the 12 days of Christmas theme running through the house was unbelievable...the attention to detail...the family traditions/decorated twig trees etc...were outstanding...the volunteers were very knowledgeable.....this albeit on a grand scale feels like a home full of love......and its do lovely and warm too. Well worth the entry fee.......the tress and decorations were all outstanding. The additional heated marquees for cafe/dining were an added bonus particularly as it was getting busy when we left. Highly recommend a visit....im so impressed im organising memberships.

I visited castle Howard and thoroughly enjoyed the experience . I visited the gardens lakes everything and thoroughly enjoyed it . I decided to end my lovely visiting the Courtyard cafe . A “young man came to deliver my cream tea . He was very smart very pleasant and took time to engage me in conversation . it was lovely to chat with someone because I live on my own and can spend days not chatting to anyone . .The gentleman was called Paul and an absolute delight to have a brief conversation with.it was a lovely way to end the day and I will certainly return and hope he is on duty
