We had a really nice day out here today. The grounds are really nice as well as the house. They've obviously paid a lot of attention and put a lot of money into the restoration of this building. Well worth a visit.

The terrific volunteer tour guide made us see things that we might otherwise have missed. Such a beautiful location. Teenagers in tow so we kind of sprinted round it but will probably go back again another day and make a tour of the grounds. Catering facilities very good and even parking in the overflow car park did not place us too far away from the entrance.

What an amazing visit. Very rich history and it was super interesting. The staff here were super knowledgeable and there was a member of staff in nearly every single room to explain the history of the room. I thought that I would only be there for an hour but ended up being there for several. I could've easily spent way more time here and was only limited by other commitments. The cafe is a nice attachment and the food is very tasty. Also, the gooseberry chutney from the shop here is delicious.

Ightham moat is a really wonderful place to visit, although it's difficult to pick my favourite national Trust places to visit because they all have there own unique quality's, this really does rank in the top 5 because it has so much charm about the place, it's not the biggest, it's not the most historically important or has the best gardens etc but it just has that wonderful little charm. I can't put my finger on why it's 1 of my favourites but it just is! It has plenty of charm & character, the cafe is a good size with enough indoor & outdoor seating, the play area might get a bit cramped if it was busy but otherwise very good! The moated manor house is medieval & is beautiful inside & out, it is full of history. The garden & lake are perfect to have a picnic alongside on a warm day! I would highly recommend visiting here for anyone really, young couples, family's with young or older children & of course older people - although there is a steep slope at the entrance, once at the bottom it's mostly flat around the grounds & house. I should also add that the staff where very friendly & polite so well done to you all! Keep up the good work & we will be back again soon! Regards Lloyd

Lovely walks with the dogs and a coffee area. The cafe can get a bit busy but if you take cash there is a kiosk. There are various walks you can do with the dogs and the grounds are lovely, especially on a sunny day as there is plenty of shade on the woodland. The views are worth the climb on the longer walk. Didn't visit the buildings bit they look impressive from the outside.
