Spent nearly all day on the grounds despite the heat, walked up to the beach, around the walled gardens which are fabulous. Stopped for homemade cake and coffee at the café. Didn't go in the Abbey as we have a dog but did go into the little exhibition one by one downstairs, who knew how many movies made use of the grounds and buildings.

Beautiful place to visit. Walked the mile to the coast, with stunning views along the way. Been twice in the same week. Tea room has lovely scones.

Lovely visit in August 23. Only paid for the gardens as we had our dog with us. The tearoom is an absolute delight with a superb choice of cakes and savouries. We loved the exhibition highlighting all the movies and TV programs that have been filmed on and around the estate. The walk down to the beach is a definite must do. The cliffs are spectacular with their amazing geological twists and turns. Would love to come back and spend some time in Blackpool Mill cottage which can be rented out.

Came back in August because our girls are mildly obsessed with Mallory Towers and we wanted an easily happy day out whilst on holiday. We all loved it, because it's not your everyday stately home, it's a home that happens to be stately, lived in, loved, and welcoming, a family day somewhere that reminded me of tales from parents of how houses were opened up by their families back in pre National Trust curation, room guides and branded gift shops (we like those too but there's room for everything). The gardens and grounds were lovely, the walled garden is a gem as is Lady Stucley who I think became the highlight for the girls, the walk to the beach through the woods mercifully cool and shady. O, and the sandwiches were spot on in the tearooms.

A private property still lived in by the owners going back many generations. House is full of history. There is a lovely long walk to a private beach

Certainly not as grand as some of the other large country houses but this house is still lived in by the owners, volunteer guides were very friendly and polite. The walled garden was tranquil and a lovely place to visit, anyone with walking difficulties would do best to ignore the direction signs and just follow the road (taking care of the oncoming traffic) following the signs the paths are uneven and have a number of steep steps, toilets were in need of some refurbishment.

We had a wonderful time exploring Harland Abbey. The family particularly were keen to see the filming locations, but fun was had by all learning about the family history, viewing the gardens and grounds, topped off by wonderful coffee and cake in the tea rooms. Lots to do despite the rain!
