Join one of our walks and talks

Our walks and talks are led by our knowledgeable volunteer outdoor guides. If you would like to book your group onto one of these tours, please phone ahead and let us know. We do charge a small fee for booking any walks in advance.

Food and drink

We know that a great cup of tea or coffee and home-cooked, tasty food can be the making of any visit. We have a number of outlets available throughout the property. Contact us about any special arrangements.

House and gallery

There's so much to see at Mottisfont, from our 800 year old vaulted cellarium, to Whistler’s extraordinary drawing room.

Visit the gallery to see changing exhibitions throughout the year. The house also displays a permanent collection of 20th Century art.

The gardens

Horticulturalists will enjoy the grounds designed by some of the greatest names in horticultural history. From a colourful Winter Garden to spectacular rose displays in summer, you'll never be disappointed.

Rose season

The two walled gardens are home to our world famous old-fashioned rose collection created by horticulturalist Graham Stuart Thomas. Flowering once a year in late May - early June, these spectacular blooms are very popular with group visitors.
