What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Boston Manor House is a free-entry Jacobean gem set within a large park, offering a pleasant escape. Visitors appreciate the historical architecture, the park's amenities like the playground, and the unique exhibition on Polish history. However, some find the house itself smaller than expected with limited accessible rooms and a few reconstructed elements.
"It’s a bit of a trek. Nice 1930’s tube station that could do with refreshing. House is in large garden but apart from a cafe and small pond and a walled garden as well as tennis courts it’s large but bleak. House itself is disappointing. Resin moulds of some features or ‘reconstructed’ elements (wallpaper etc). Has these awful mannequins that are supposed to guide you but only one worked when I was there. Small exhibition about Polish War efforts (?). Places like this are a waste. They should be filled with paintings and furnishings from the period of the house even if they never belonged there. There must be vast amounts of such items in storage at several London museums (V&A, Tate Britain etc). Make it somewhere people want to visit. Cafe was nice but expensive and basic menu. Just nothing to see except a few occasional original details and the view of the trees and motorway.
Have an honesty box and use the walled garden to grown plants to sell. Even it look sad and forlorn."

"After a long play on the playground, we headed inside out of the sun for a short period. The house is free entry and has a number of different rooms to explore. Unfortunately, with the kids, we probably didn't get as much time as we would have liked to look round - but we still found it interesting. It's worth going just to look at the room with the marvellous ceiling!"
Andrew Cartwright
"Visiting house is for free, only a few rooms available to see. Great presentation of Polish community in UK and huge part of Polish people in British history. The Boston Manor House is great additional ,,gem" when strolling in the park itself. In the park is playground, car park - very reasonable price, cafe. A lot of shades places under the huge trees. I haven't use cafe so can't say much about prices."
