National Trust - The Children's Country House at Sudbury

“We had a wonderful visit to The Children’s Country House at Sudbury. The place itself is absolutely lovely. The hall was amazing and beautifully decorated for Christmas, which gave the whole visit a magical feeling. As you make your way around, the story of Pinocchio is displayed throughout the rooms, adding an extra layer of charm and creativity to the experience. Several of the National Trust volunteers were very helpful and welcoming, which made the visit even more enjoyable. The museum was a little underwhelming compared to the grandeur of the hall, but there was still plenty for children to look at and engage with. The gardens were peaceful and well kept, leading out to a lovely lake—perfect for a quiet stroll. This has definitely become a new favourite place for us, and I will absolutely be returning in the future. I also advise people get a National Trust Membership if you visit National Trust properties.”

“What an amazing property belonging to #nationaltrust a truly fascinating place with a huge footsteps in history ,children would love this place in fact adults would love it just as much . There is a children's museum of childhood which was amazing it bought back many happy memories of my childhood with toys I used to love and my son and my granddaughter both loved it for that reason. It also had a real honest to god Dalek there and I love Daleks more than Doctor who himself 😃. The stately home itself was fabulous with gorgeous grounds and a nice cafe and a used book shop and National trust shop . It was a really lovely place to visit another wonderful walk through history for me and the Betty Cadbury toy collection was a must see exhibit . I will definitely go back and Sudbury is a beautiful place to visit itself”

“Very interesting to see the history of some well known toys.. museum is set out well and staff helpful.. hall was interesting and we were able to see christmas trees and decorations and Pinocchio story.. i always want yo see more of these old houses .. what is behind the closed doors... Nice cafe .. but nitpicking. It needs a sign to say close door behind you as some people just walk in and go to find a seat leaving those by door in a draught”
