This is a fabulous house, filled with works of art and treasures. Normally, it would be a good 5 stars, but there's one thing that makes me mark it down: it's full of art and treasures, but there's n…Full review by David C

We only found this place because we were looking for something to do on the drive down from Yorkshire to Cambridge. The tour of the house was excellent. So many beautiful treasures and room settings.…Full review by SkidbyGill

This is from their website.. "Burghley aims to be as accessible as possible to all within the confines of a Grade One listed building. Disabled parking is available close to the house entrance and there are disabled toilet facilities. All of the state rooms and the Orangery restaurant are on the first floor and are accessible via two chair lifts. These lifts do not take a wheelchair and you will need to transfer onto and off the lift. We also have movable ramps for use in other areas of the property. Burghley is an historic property and there are occasional steps. If you are part of a group of disabled visitors, or have other needs please do call in advance so we can make arrangements for you. Registered guide dogs are allowed in the house, as are manual wheelchairs. Unfortunately due to the nature of the access it is not possible to take mechanised wheelchairs into the house. The garden of surprises is completely accessible as is the brewhouse visitor entrance and interpretation centre. The sculpture garden has mown grass and bark chipping paths which are accessible in good weather. The park has tarmac paths and roads, whilst the road to the gardens is gravel, although a strip to the side is swept to make pushing wheelchairs and pushchairs easier." My comments... The kitchen and the Great Hall on the ground floor are large rooms and there is plenty of room for wheelchair users. There is no lift, just a domestic style stair lift to the rest of the rooms which are on the first floor. The wheelchair user would need to get in and out of the wheelchair to use this and the wheelchair would then have to be carried upstairs. There is limited access to the area of the upstairs rooms are viewed from behind a ropoe which runs along the length of teh room. If it is very busy there is restricted room for a wheelchair. I would suggest you contact Burghley House and ask them for detailed information and help.
