National Trust Little Moreton Hall in Leek

Gorgeous little house which is so much fun to explore. Entry was reasonably priced too. We were able to spend a good hour looking around. Garden is small but very beautiful, and the house itself is just amazing. Volunteers were all really friendly and able to add extra information to our day.

Wonderful Tudor Mansion House with lovely gardens and pretty much unrestricted access to the house and its many rooms, well worth a visit to explore and learn the building techniques used and the interesting history of the house and grounds, There is a tea room inside the house which is unusual for a national trust site, this can get very busy though so plan your lunch stop wisely. The staff we met were all very knowledgeable and friendly and offered up little insights into details of the house you would totally miss without them.

A great historical building with amazing character! Plenty of parking facilities, and great friendly curator s/staff providing lots of information. Very deceptive from the exterior of the sheer size of the property, well worth the visit. There is also a nice looped hiking trail for any ramblers visiting the area.

What a beautiful monument of craftsmanship and history. The site is manned by people who are invested and passionate about the place which helps bring the place alive and highlights some of its quiet charms that may go unappreciated.From Roy who welcomed us in the courtyard (such a gentlemen with so much knowledge and lovely mannerto the lady educating us in the great hall with quiet insights and finally the charismatic storytelling of the lady in red! It even stretches into the tea room and the delicious well presented food.Can not wait to go back for Christmas!!

Loved the quirkiness of this amazing building, not much furniture and fixings but the building itself makes up for that.

The most unique wood frame house. Over 500 years old its a magnificent example of Elizabethan I era construction. The people there are really helpful so dont be afraid to ask a question about the building. We have never seen something like it. For sure needs to be seen in person and experienced as it sits to feel the many years passed over its roof.

Great place to visit as the buildings in exquisite original condition. Best of all was the Gentleman we met in the Court yard who introduced us all to the history of this beautiful building. His address was so interesting and good humoured I could have listened to him all day long, he truly was a star in medieval dress. Heres his photo and thank you for making our visit so specially enjoyable. Take a bow good Sir!

A Tudor manor house that has survived for over 500 years. Built on marshland the hall has shifted over time resulting in crooked walls and sunken floors. Loved it!

Fantastic little gem but was much bigger than I thought and stacked with charm and history, great cafe and shop, very pleasant & helpful staff

Wow such a lovely place.. very quirky. It was quite busy so would advise a visit early I the day. Couple of tea rooms which were a nice touch.

Loved seeing this wonderful 500 year old house. Incredible that it has survived for so long! The National Trust is doing a great job preserving it and their guides are very knowledgeable and helpful.

An amazing 500yr old Tudor manor house and small gardens within a moat where very little is square, most is very wonky.Lovely little cafe for indoor or outdoor drinks, scones and other snacks. Friendly ducks and ducklings may join you outside around the tables.Outside of the moat during our visit were childrens activities, school holiday time.Outside is suitable for scooters, wheelchairs and walking aids.Inside the house is only suitable for walking sticks, with care stairs and wonky floors are accessible.Highly reccomended day out for all the family of any age.

We were so impressed with Little Moreton Hall. The guide leaflet is very useful, and the talk and entertainment from the piper was unexpected and really interesting. The cafe and gardens are really lovely, and we greatly appreciated the second hand book shop. Lovely helpful staff and a very pleasant visit overall.

Quite a small national trust but still a lovely walk and it had activities for children which was nice. Must leave prams outside. Plenty of places to sit on a nice sunny day benches picnic tables and the grass.

Great Trust property. Interesting as ever to see how it still stands after all this time. The roof is a wonder given the weight of the tiles. Nice grounds too, grandkids loved it.

How can you not love this place? The history is amazing, the building is lovingly cared for by the National Trust, the guides are sooo knowledgeable but can frame an answer to adult or child level in the blink of an eye. This a unique treasure.

Unbeliveable that this building is 500 years old , great little cafe on site or theres areas to enjoy a picnic, well worth a visit

Excellent little location, so much charecter and history. Its not a huge place but definitely worth your time just to soak in the atmosphere and if you can get a good day a great spot for a picnic.

Really interesting wonky building.Quite amazing how its still standing.A lady did a talk about the Tudors which was good. Pretty gardens and very friendly ducks, if a little but podgy!

Hidden gem. Midlands must see list. Exceptional historical building. Cafe, shop, park.

Wonderful place to visit. So much history and the national trust volunteers are a great wealth of information. Lovely tea room, but watch out for the begging ducks. And they do beg! If you are in the area and like old houses, dont miss this place.

Love this place, its so quirky and the volunteers there are so happy to fill you in on the history and stories about the hall. The little cafe inside is very small but the food and drink is really nice and the staff were so friendly. Plenty of parking available and a nice little bookshop there too.

Beautiful building. The fact that it is abandoned yet lovingly cared for gives more of an insight into its creation and heritage. Set in beautiful countryside it is both lovely and interesting. There are two tea shops and a wealth of second hand books on sale. Would recommend the guide book.

Have lived in Stoke all my life and passed it every day for 4 years but never been here!! Great for history and/or architectural buffs, a must see (in my opinion). Gardens a little disappointing but the moat was a nice surprise. Usual lovely lunch. Highly recommended.

Such a quirky national trust place to visit. Large enough car park, only a short walk to the property. normal shop cafe and facilities you get with the national trust. The house itself was such an enjoyable place to explore

What a truly magnificent dwelling. The rooms are so wonky that its an incredible feat of engineering that its still standing which makes it all the more charming! Lovely tea room and outside tables in the garden behind. Ducks looking for crumbs were cute! Spent around 2 hours here.

We enjoyed an interesting afternoon. This is a Tudor building which was been the home in the Moreton family for many years. It is now a National Trust property. Some of the floors are uneven so you do need to be careful and be aware of how age has affected the building structure. At first, we explored in our own, then we joined a tour guide for her talk at 2.00pm. It was really interesting and she was very informative. We ended our afternoon with a lovely cream tea, served in Mrs Dales tea room.

Gorgeous afternoon out. Got a bit stuck for something to do one Saturday afternoon so jumped on the M6 and gave this a go as its not too far and I havent been since I was a teenager We have national trust family membership and its great for last minute plans such as these. Beautiful old building, the kids loved looking for the secret emblem in one of the rooms. Upstairs made me feel a bit sea sick with the floor and the stairs ate a thing of wooden spiralled nightmares. Both of those however were part of the beauty, heritage and charm of the building. There was a basket of picnic blankets laid out for use too, wich was a beautiful touch. It was a beautifully sunny day and we got to enjoy snugbury ice creams on the lawns, with lots of friendly ducks pottering about and my children (8&2loved playing on the big hill. The volunteers there were lovely, they were so warm and welcoming and so friendly to the children, they even gave them two leftover eggs from the egg hunt, much to my childrens delight. Thank very much for charming visit and I have no doubt this is one of our new favourites and well be back soon. 😍

Lovely place to visit. Small garden walk is great for young children and their little legs - house has lots of little rooms for them to explore too!

Forgot how amazing this place is. Its not a full day out but great for a couple of hours. There are so many secrets to discover here so make sure you talk to the staff. Ground floor is accessible but the floors are uneven

A beautiful place to visit! The staff are very knowledgeable and great with the children when explaining the history of the building. Id definitely recommend listening to one of the talks in the great hall before exploring. We bought a hot chocolate and a delicious rhubarb flapjack and sat outside in the sun watching the ducks.

Date of visit: Monday early afternoon, April 22.Very interesting tudor building.Great for a local trip out.Approaching it it reminded me of a funhouse ride at a theme park, wobbly with not a wall line in plumb.Amazing its still standing after all these years. The National Trust have done well for keeping this safe and open to the public.£12 per adult.There are guides for information or general questions.The shop also sells secondhand books.I had the Minestonie soup & bread which was nice at the tea room, also lovely lemon drizzle cake.As you can imagine there are limits to wheelchair users going to the upper floors of the building.Parking wasnt a problem at the time.

Really cant fault the guides here for their enthusiasm and knowledge. First class! If you like unusual buildings, then this is one for you. Hardly a level floor in the place, but it does it so elegantly! Black and white exterior with thousands of of small panes of glass. Nice stroll around the moated garden.Well worth a look! Very poor wheelchair access, hence the four stars

A smaller NT property but just as interesting. The building is pretty on the outside and quirky on the inside. Staff are knowledgeable and friendly.

Well worth a visit, despite the high cost of entry (£30 for 2 Adults + 1 Kid at March 2022! The hall is - actually bigger than the name suggests, with plenty of nooks, crannies & out of the way rooms to explore. You could imagine the atmosphere of when this hall was in use during Tudor times - especially with the help of the friendly & knowledgeable staff ! As I said before, the entry cost is quite high (NT membership should be considered), so please take your time, enjoy the hall, & dont rush ! A small cafe is also on site, with nice refreshments (but again quite pricey).

This is a fantastic house to visit. Its steeped in history and very romantic. We loved it. The guides were great; very knowledgeable and they obviously care passionately about the place. They brought the past to life and very enjoyable it was too. Highly recommended.

Amazing outing with the family!What a quaint place - full of historic values for the kids to explore.

Cute Tudor house with very quirky features. The staff and volunteers here are fantastic and so knowledgeable about both the property and the Tudor era in general. They are also super friendly and approachable if you have any questions. There is also a tea room with a small selection of food and drinks including locally made ice cream.

Stunning Tudor wooden frame house surround by a moat. History being preserved by the National Trust. Good little cafe too.

Lovely querky place. Very knowledgeable guide in period costume which was lovely.Great to read the history of the Hall as you walk through each of the rooms.Very nice little tea room with good selection of food at reasonable prices

The building was so unique and rich with history. Staff were knowledgeable and friendly, telling us all these little facts. Glad we caught them before it closed for refurbishment. Would recommend a visit in the summer because when its dark its difficult to see inside as they only use natural lighting.

Get a real good feeling of what Tudor life was like when you walk around this house. There were knowledgeable guides in some of the bigger rooms which made it more interesting than reading a poster or book.Definitely worth a visit.Nearly forgot - cup of coffee and a slice of cake afterwards was equally enjoyable 😋

A truly fascinating house, one of only a few unique places like this to survive. Fortunate that the owners misfortune, meant they did not have funds to renovate. Thus, the house was largely spared being redesigned with the times.

This has to be my favourite NT property, and it would be my perfect home! I love this place and cant wait to go back. Theres a lovely little tea room too. The gardens are small but the beauty of the property more than makes up for it. Built over 500 years ago and moated, its unique. Every wall and floor is warped but its oddly perfect. You need to go and visit this place. Check the website for opening times and booking details.

A very unique and interesting National Trust property! The house is really the main feature: wonky, old, and steeped in history. There isnt much in the way of outdoor space, but with two cafes and a cute shop, this property is still definitely worth the visit. There is even a moat! The highlight for me was the lovely volunteers throughout the house who were able to answer questions and give additional information.

Fascinating Tudor house. One that has managed to retain much of its original construction .Its marvelously uneven inside, with barely a right angle to be seen.It has witch omens burnt into some beams.Tour guides, some in costume bring the rooms to light.Just charming.

Beautiful Tudor house. Amazing how its still standing, especially when you see the third floor. £30 entry fee for a family, so worth joining the National Trust first as currently £126 or £10.50 a month.

A proper quirky building, with its uneven floors, quirky stairs and many rooms. So unusual to find a house with a water filled moat around it. The staff are very friendly and helpful, and theres a fantastic cafe with outside and indoor seating

Wow, what a find. For a place to go for just a few hours this was the ticket. Its heaped with history and stories, set near a lovely stream and gardens. The cream, tea was amazing as were the size of the cake portions. It makes for a a lovely afternoon...

Little Moreton Hall is a quaint small National Trust Hall dating back to the early 1500s. So much history in such a small place. You can feel the spirits of old still wandering around. Its a beautiful place to behold and Id thoroughly recommend a visit. Whether you are mad on King Henry VIII or fancy stepping back in time youll love it. The staff are pleasant and the tea rooms have the most amazing scones. Go youll not be sorry.
