Today my mother and I spent some time at Hatfield house. We had a tour of the Old Palace by a tour guide Dermot, who was absolutely amazing. The wealth of knowledge and detail he gave during the tour was incredible. He was friendly and made us all feel so welcome. As Hatfield house was closed, we will definitely be going back in the Summer so Dermot can give us a tour of Hatfield house. The gardens were breathtaking and with the sun coming out from behind the clouds, just made the trip all that more special. Absolutely value for money and will be sure to go back again soon.

Hatfield House and Gardens are beautiful even in the pouring rain! My friend who uses a mobility scooter and I visited on Wednesday and were delighted with the kindness and support shown by the staff, namely Neil, Trish, Julie and Mary. We will be back!

Bee Keeping experience. This was a fantastic day and we were able to get up close yo the Bees. Barry, Terry and Georgine were so interesting and informative. I cant recommend this day enough. I will drfdo it again next year. It was great value for money suppling food and drink. If uou are interested in bees this is definitely a day for you.

We had a great day learning about all things beekeeping. Lunch and refreshments were provided along with a goodie bag. Barry, Terry and Georgina were organised, friendly and knowledgeable, making the whole interactive day excellent value for money. Thank you very much!

Beautiful day visiting the park and gardens with my family . The old palace tour was very worthwhile and learnt a great deal thanks to Dermot and his amazing knowledge. He is a great asset to Hatfield house. Would highly recommend the coach house cafe for coffee and cake aswel

What a wonderful place ! Quiet ! Virgin ! A lot to see and walk - filling a full day. I recommend you start with one of the offered trails. We took the Red Way (7 km.). Select Hatfield Park ONLY in a sunny day and you get a paradise. Leave the 2nd part of your day for the western garden, the southern garden (if open) and the house. Full with harmony, beauty, history, posh splendor and very atmospheric. Back to paradise.

Hatfield house is absolutely beautiful and so well kept and fascinating. There are tour guides in every room and one in particular, Dermot, was extremely helpful and informative. Such a gorgeous piece of history, an absolute must visit.

Where to start! The house and gardens are absolutely beautiful! I must mention that my new freind Dermot who spoke to us In king George's drawing room was so lovely, informative and absolutely gorgeous! I can't thank him enough for making the visit even more amazing! The food in the Coach House Kitchen is especially lovely as well!

Had an amazing day at Hatfield House. The house and gardens are stunning. So much interesting history that was really brought to life by the staff, particularly Neil and Dermot who looked after my disabled mother beautifully and gave us the VIP history tour. Feel very lucky and privileged. Many thanks to them!

My husband and I had the most lovely day here. My whole life I have wanted to see the place where Elizabeth I was staying when she inherited the throne. The main house was beautiful and the grounds even lovelier - but the truly hidden gem here was the staff! I had travelled around the world to see the old palace, and to walk the same hallways as Elizabeth. When I found out there was a possibility I might not be allowed to go to the old palace as there was a wedding the night before, I was beyond devastated. But in the true hospitable English way, the staff made sure my dream was fulfilled! A lovely lady at the front door of the House helped steer us in the direction of the best person to help us achieve our goal….Dermot! Dermot truly seems to be the heart of Hatfield! His love of this property and history was so delightful and truly made our visit more special than we could have hoped! He gave us a mini-private tour of the old palace. And it changed my life to be in the very building where Elizabeth and Cecil planned their first ideas of how they wanted their future England to be ruled. His explanation of all things Elizabeth made me so happy and really made the hallways come to life. He made our last day in England a memory that will last a lifetime! Thanks Dermot! And Hatfield House!
