“A lot of work has gone into the telling of Delapré’s story through the centuries.
The staff in particular was knowledgeable and friendly. We’re so pleased we have discovered Delapré!”
“The grounds were great for the dog to have a run and we enjoyed tea and cake on the terrace afterwards. The house was fascinating. I particularly enjoyed the battlefield exhibition and the insight into the life of a medieval nun.”
“The tour guides Alan and De were both incredible, knowing about 500 years of history off by heart. After grabbing lunch in the Orangery we decided to join the second tour in the afternoon. Delapré Abbey provided us with a great day and we will definitely recommend this attraction.”
