5/ 5

Absolutely beautiful spot in the Peak District. We visited with a young family and everybody enjoyed the day out. Parking was easy although it can get busy. We haven't been into the house, but walked all around it. The scenery is stunning and there are many walks you can take from here. Perfect spot for a picnic too. We've also walked to the Dovedale stepping stones, which is a good 40 minute walk through the hills, but well worth it. The coffee and ice cream shop is prepared for receiving guests. Recommended!

Lovely park to walk round at this National Trust location. I feel its a shame that Ilam Hall is rent

4/ 5

Lovely park to walk round at this National Trust location. I feel its a shame that Ilam Hall is rented to the YHA so its not open to the public. Ilam is a quaint little village.
