Reviews for Rippon Lea Estate

I'd recommend that if you go to this place for the first time, you should probably go early to take a walk and have a look at everything. Remember to keep your map with you. There is a beautiful back garden and a small lake; it's worth the visit for just $15. The house is very well-kept, as there is no damp smell or any bad smell. The house is truly amazing; it feels like you are in a movie. The house looks better outside than in the photo.

It's a beautiful mansion. Our guides were great and very knowledgeable. Shame the old owner Louise ruined it in her attempts to modernize it. Painting over the marble. Painting over the wallpaper. Painting over the gilt frames. I hope the National Trust decides to reverse her damages to the house. Anyone who tries to modernize a historic home (or mansion in this case) is a disgrace in my eyes. Plenty of on street parking. The gardens are beautiful with it's lake, out buildings and even a rather bizarre childs play area in the shape on a turtle shell. Public toilets are available in the gardens. $15 entry for adults

Some friends and I attended Rippon Lea Estate for the Annual Regency Picnic 2024. Safe to say we were all stunned by how beautiful the manor and it's gardens were. Really affordable entry at $15.00 per person. Tours inside the main residence can be purchased for an additional fee. Central location, somewhat close to public transport. (Within walking distance) Parking is only available in side streets and I believe is limited to 2 hours on weekdays. Some areas of the residence and grounds are not accessible friendly due to steep hills/steps. ♿️ That being said, majority of the grounds are quite friendly for those who rely on mobility devices. A simply gorgeous spot to spend an afternoon with friends or family for a wander and little picnic. Would reccomend and will attend again!

We came to see the Tinker Bell and Dream Fairies. Very nice interactive experience. I was concern of parking but there are lots of parking locally. The park is well maintained, plenty of space and shade. Bring a picnic rug, perfect for picnic and young children to run around on the lawn. I would like to visit again.

The property was beautiful and the garden was a well-tended. There could easily be a small cafe on site but the ad hoc coffee in paper cups was welcome at the end of our visit. On street parking is available. There's no car park.
