What a lucky county Devon is, with so many spectacular NT properties and this one all the better for being allowed to photograph the interior, as was also possible at Tyntesfield, but not at Greenway or Coleton Fishacre or Knightshayes? The saloon is stunning, especially the chandeliers hanging from the Adam ceiling and amazing the Axminster carpet which echos the... More

This house is a great insite into the way of life when the rich had servants who appeared to be held in high esteeem with the housekeeper and butler top dogs. The house is very impressive and the rooms are supposedly as they were left. The kitchens are well preserved and the detailed literature explains areas well. The guides are... More

This a big and impressive property just how it was in its heyday. Helpful knowledgeable staff. Cafe was good and the quiet room was an excellent idea.

We have made two trips to Saltram and each time we visit it is just so lovely to see this estate that was once the home of the earls of Morley and in 1995 used as the setting as the lost home of the Dashwood family in Jane Austen's "Sense and Sensibility"movie. The interiors are splendid and designed by the... More

Our Grandaughter and their dog love it. Feeding the ducks and the walk to the waterfront, where the dog is in his element.

We had a good look around this very large and impressive house, but the paintings were a bit too overpowering for me. I loved the library, and the amazing desk made of brass and precious stones - it is one of just 8 in the world! The Chinese rooms were gorgeous, and I would have loved one of the 4-poster... More

We took our grandchildren to Saltram House and Gardens last week and they really enjoyed it. In the main house, the children could do a 'mouse trail'. There are 15 small wooden mice hidden around the house and the children had to kick them off their list when they found them. All the staff were very helpful and friendly to... More

Free parking and you can walk in a circular route outside the house and gardens alongside the Plym estuary. National Trust members can visit house and gardens for free, otherwise there is an entrance fee. Featured in Sense and Sensibility film.

Visited at a very quiet time - sadly the house was closed but the gardens are stunning with lots of places to walk.

We visit Saltram regularly for a walk round the grounds and a look in the shop. You can get a coffee / food in the cafe too.
