Only a few hallways to view and 4 bedrooms !!!! that's what you pay £16/adult for ! Including the garden they say ...well ... garden is just lawns with few normal flowers here and there ! in one word ...HORRIBLE ! Feel ripped off !!!

Chatsworth House is the most beautiful place I have ever been. I would just like to be able to find the site for the gift shop so I could order on line
I would recommend and it is suited for all ages. Would just like to be able to order things on line from the gift shop.

House wasn't fully open, probably only half of the rooms. Couldn't see anything on their web-site to tell us this. Really unhappy having seen half of the house and then ending up in the gift shop. A massive disappointment. Also, how do a family get in for 16.50 (previous review)?

Derbyshire, Chatsworth House is Fantastic. House-More of a museum piece than a house the grandness of it is wonderful with beautiful ceilings and an awesome gem collection. A little busy but that does not spoil it and it is one of the finest pieces of architecture ANYWHERE. Gardens-Amazing. Brilliant. What more can I say? With the fun maze, gorgeous borders as well as some excellent statues, a fantastic view to the house and the amazing mining tunnel which you can walk through these are the highlights. Farm-The farm is a little pricey but all the animals are well kept and the adventure playground is awesome!!! Overall, Chatsworth is excellent and well worth a visit.

I took my family to Chatsworth after driving through the park the previous week. They'd spotted the Emperor fountain and just kept nagging to go and have a look. So, we paid to go into the Gardens, £16.50 for a family plus £2 to park, and I have to say, after two weeks of school holidays and visits to all sorts of places, including the National Space Centre, I thought it was really good value for money. The fact that this was probably the hottest April day ever, just added to our enjoyment.

We all played in the water cascading 200 metres down the stone steps cut into the hillside 300 years ago. The kids loved the maze, I've never heard them laugh so much. Joseph Paxton and Capability Brown are just two famous landscapers who have added features to the garden over the last 450 years.

Next to the entrance to the formal gardens is the old stable block. Arranged around a central fountain are a cafe, two restaurants, a bar, take-away and various shops, although when we left at about 5.30pm, the eateries had closed.

If you want to try Chatsworth Park without paying to get into the formal gardens, there is a car park on the main road through the park that charges £2. From there, it's a pleasant walk, with only one road to cross, to the river. There's a weir on the river where all the kids love to play when its hot and with sheep and deer wandering about it makes for a great and cheap day out.

We will be back just as soon as we can!

Set in the rolling hills of Derbyshire next to the river Derwent, this fine stately home, which is still lived in my the Duke and Duchess of Devonshire, was voted best loved stately home in the UK by readers of the Radio Times magazine and Channel 5.

Chatsworth House is lavish, with many great works of art and contains a wonderful sculpture gallery and chapel. This is set in one of the most beautiful and interesting landscaped gardens and over 1000 acres of parkland.
