Thank you or sharing this wonderful place with me
@barbarakaywhite5166 thankyou so much! Pleased you enjoyed it... Best wishes Neil and Ant 😊
Beautiful home and I'm impressed that it has stayed in the same family all this time. As they say, If this house could talk I'm sure it would have many stories to tell. Thank you for the tour.
Hi Andy! Thank you so much for watching and commenting we really appreciate it... as you say I'm sure there must be some wonderful family storys about events and partys and famous visitors! We really enjoyed our visit... Best wishes from us both 😊
I love Haddon Hall.
@jeannerogers7085 Hi Jeanne! Thankyou so much for watching and taking the time to comment... we absolutely love Haddon and it's beautiful gardens, we are lucky to live only half an hour away... Best wishes Neil and Ant 😊
Besides the modern home equipments
and power conveniences, the high living
standard surpassed today's grand
houses in elegance and spaciousness,
without a doubt.
@glenrich-uu9zr Hi Glen! This is so true... they would have lived very comfortably! Thank you so much for watching... Best wishes Neil and Ant 😊

Most enjoyable. Thanks. 😊😊😊

Wonderful video. One of the best in the series.
@retroguy49uk Thankyou so much! Haddon is one of our all time favourite houses and only 25 minutes from home. We had such a great time on this visit everything was a pleasure including the garden and the meal at the end! Really appreciate you watching and commenting... Neil and Ant 😊
So beautiful! Thank you.
Greetings from Mexico 🇲🇽❤️🇬🇧
@cordeliaadams4898 Hi! Thankyou so much for watching... pleased you enjoyed seeing Haddon. Our very best wishes sent to you in Mexico! Neil and Ant 😊
@@chrisisjustme7546 thank you! It was as if I was visiting Haddon House with both of you from my very warm country 😁. Such an enjoyable video.
Love your presentation! Just the right music and pictures! ❤
@ninacurry8799 Hi Nina! Thankyou so much for your lovely comment... we thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Haddon it's definitely one of our favourite places! Best wishes from us both 😊
@nina. I have loved since a teenager and I'm in my 60s now. I don't know if it's because I'm getting old and grumpy, but its not as it was. Some of the unique atmosphere has been lost. The gardens were once outstandingly beautiful, and the lovely tearoom has been upmarket, and little gift shop lost to artisan sellers. But the Hall itself is still the same, I love its history and the building and its setting. I used to visit every year, but ticket prices have gone a bit out of my reach. But I can understand why it has to be, especially the huge financial loss there must have been with Covid shutdowns. I just hope it can be looked after with sensitivity for many more years.
@user-qh8nh7oe6d they rebuilt the big bay windows overlooking the gardens from the long gallery so I think they're really trying to preserve and restore... we love the hall too it magical. They do 30% discount for locals so we pay a little less... all good wishes from us both 😊
Thank you for this tour of Haddon. It was built by my ancestors and it's on my list of places to visit.
@westernnut8407 Hi! So pleased you enjoyed the video! It is such a beautiful old house and garden ... one of the most romantic anywhere. The gardens are just sublime. What is your connection? Thankyou for watching and commenting, best wishes from us both 😀
💜💜💜
@Smiglett11 Thankyou! We love Haddon Hall... Best wishes from us both 😊
Wonderful place. It’s just so incredible how it has remained unspoiled. Great atmosphere. Thanks, guys!
Hi James! Thankyou for watching... Haddon is absolutely magical! We love visiting and always see something we haven't noticed before. Hope you're having a great weekend ... Best wishes from us both 😊
Gorgeous 🤩
@stephaniepelc1618 Thankyou for watching and commenting... Best wishes from us both 😊
So beautiful!
@deelynn8611 Hi Dee! Thanks for watching and commenting! Haddon is one of our all time favourite places... all the best Neil and Ant 😊
What a fantastic advert for the place. Great video. I will now organise a trip there. It looks just my sort of house!
@execbum1 Thankyou so much for watching and taking the time to comment we really appreciate it... Haddon is a magical place you won't be disappointed if you visit nearby Bakewell is certainly worth seeing while you're there and Chstsworth is just around the corner ✨️ Best wishes from us both 😊
Always very much appreciated 😊. But, I must comment, the editing you do takes skill and effort that I realize you do for us , your viewers. I hear from other vloggers that it takes a lot of time. Just had to let you know that it is very much appreciated. In Hawaiian we way MAHALO😎🇺🇸🇺🇸🍍🏄🏼♂️🚢🚢🏄♀️🏖️🏖️🌈
Hi Richard ... thankyou for watching and for your very kind comment, it is very much appreciated. Learning all the time and trying to make good videos [some turn out better than others to be honest] Haddon was a real pleasure to visit and this is a video we enjoyed making that turned out well we think... Haddon is not too far from us and it is always a joy to go... it is wonderful that you are watching from such a beautiful place! We send you our very best wishes 😊
Magnificent!
@@susanstandard8727 Hi Susan! Thanks for watching! Best wishes to you 😊
A really fantastic place😊 thank you for sharing 😊
Hi Pamela! Thankyou so much for watching and for taking the time to comment we really appreciate it ... Haddon is such a special place, really magical... definitely one of our favourites we cannot recommend it enough... always worth a visit! Hope you're having a lovely weekend, Best wishes from us both 😀
We visited Haddon Hall in 2007 and I still savour the scent of the roses. Beautiful place, and the little cafe was lovely then too.🇨🇦🇨🇦
@marjoryross2754 Hi Marjory! Thankyou for your comment... the roses at Haddon on a hot sunny day can be intoxicating! So pleased you have such fond memories of the place... Best wishes to you from us both 😀
Love the sound of the river ❤ so medival! Links with the tudors again!
This is one of our all time favourite houses! It is magical, a video doesn't convey the atmosphere but the atmosphere is incredible! This house is frozen in time after standing empty for 200 years ... thankyou so much for watching 😊
so beautiful.. im a sucker for history and architecture, guys im so jalous,here in my country we have nothing like that... well presented video :) well done
@deealex1402 Hi! Thankyou so much for watching and commenting! Haddon us a dream of a place with so much to see and so much history! We love it! Yes we are very lucky to have so many wonderful places here... Best wishes to you from us both 😊
Though Chatsworth is grandiose, Haddon Hall is much more cozy, it's more homely and less like a museum or showpiece. It's well worth visiting the two at around the same time to compare them. You could compare both with Hardwick Hall which isn't far from them. Go on a weekday or slightly off-season when it's less crowded but beware that Haddon closes for the winter season.
@weejackrussell Hi! Thankyou so much for watching and commenting we really appreciate it... Your comment is great advice for anyone visiting the area... Best wishes from us both 😊
Magnificent home and gardens. Since it was empty for 200 years, did the house require a complete restoration.
Hi Linda! John Manners the 9th Duke of Rutland and his wife moved into the house in the late 1800s after it had stood in "mothballs" for 200 years... they returned the place into a home. It had been maintained with minimal staff and maintainance but needed upgrading and tender loving care... they made it their lives work to get the house and estate back as we see it today... Thank you for watching! Hope you have a great weekend... Best wishes from us both 😊
Beautiful gardens loved the roses ❤
The gardens here are magical! 😊
I really enjoy your videos. Your voice is wonderful, very calming and soothing.
Hi Deborah! Thank you so much, so pleased that you enjoyed it 😊 Thankyou for watching and taking the time to comment we really do appreciate it... Haddon cast its spell over us and I'm sure it won't be long before we pay a return visit... the gardens on their own are really worth a visit. We send you our best wishes and hope you have a great weekend 😀
Wow just amazing craftsmanship. Especially glad the Victorians didn't get their hands on it.
Hi! Thankyou so much for watching and commenting! We love Haddon it's our favourite place and the gardens are just beautiful too! Best wishes from us both 😊
Beautiful building, beautiful interior decorations, gorgeous gardens, but these wonderful places always seem to me somehow cold, and 'unlived-in'. In fact, the most welcoming part of the house seemed to be the kitchen area, which was the 'busiest' place, with its utensils and workaday tools. Do the owners actually live there?
@vivienhodgson3299 Hi Vivien! Thanks for watching and commenting... in their time these houses would have bustled with dozens of staff, gardeners and big families living in them... now they are just maintained I guess. We love Haddon, it is only 20 minutes from our home. Best wishes from us both 😊
What an amazing place. Thanks so much. Wish I was there with you. Of course I’d probably get on your nerves with all my oooing and ahhing. Ha
😆 they'd probably blend in just fine with ours! It really is amazing, parts completely as they were 900 years ago! 😊
My most favourite hall in England 💖, so sad, so many of this era were lost in time i.e 'modernised' as fashion changed, thank you for walking us around. I really must research where they found the wall lights in the dining hall as another 💖 😁
Hi! Thank you so much for watching and commenting we really appreciate it! I think it's one of our favourite places too... it really is like stepping back in time! The lights are possibly 1920s ? They are lovely... The dining room was part of the original banqueting hall originally but we think it makes the perfect dining space... Best wishes from us both 😊
Thank's boys.
It's indeed a beautiful....haaes !
(😂😂😂, sorry, I just couldn't stop myself. )
❤
@bastiennietveld7128 😅🤣 indeed it is! Glad you enjoyed seeing Haddon... hope you're having a great week, best wishes from us both 😀
wow beautiful!

Wow! This place is right up my street - love the long gallery - beautiful space. Congrats on the 1k subs - very well deserved. Enjoy the weekend - Don 🙂
Hi Don! Thank you for watching and for the congrats! We really enjoyed Haddon it is the kind of place that just keeps giving 😀 The Long Gallery is simply beautiful we loved the lighter coloured paneling... Hope you have a great weekend too 😊
For some reason I have no comment area on my IPad which is frustrating when I watch your videos so using my phone. I so enjoy your tours of these wonderful places. I so miss coming to the UK.
Hi Deborah! Thankyou so much for watching and taking the time to leave a comment via your phone... so kind of you. So pleased you enjoy our little outings we love touring these houses... We particularly enjoyed our day at Haddon Hall... We hope you have a great weekend. Best wishes from us both 😊
Hi Neil and Ant congratulations on 1k subscribers well deserved your videos are so well presented and full of such a lot of information. We loved your visit to Haddon Hall we must have just missed each other again, one day we will cross paths and share that cup of coffee. Living near to Belvoir we love the link with these two magnificent properties, what a choice they had between the two. We really enjoyed your video a great job. The wood panelling here is wonderful. You would have to go a long way to get a more beautiful setting and garden than this. The roses are just wonderful against the walls. We agree it feels like stepping back in time you can imagine being in tudor times with the flowing dresses taking a walk before a grand banquet. The chapel walls are amazing so atmospheric. We enjoyed a coffee too. The food looked good. A big 👍 from us. Hope you are having a great week. Best wishes Dave and Dawn ❤️
Hi Dave and Dawn! Thankyou for watching and for the congrats! 🥰 When I saw your vlog last week I kept wondering if we were there at the same time lol 😆 It's such a wonderfully romantic house and gardens we completely lost ourselves there for a few hours it was so nice... and the restaurant serves really nice good quality food 😋 Ant really enjoyed the gardens on this visit he loves roses🌹 The Long gallery is such a beautiful room, we love the soft colour of the panelling it's so unusual! I hope we do bump into you at some point... the first coffee is definitely on us! We hope you're having a great week, and sending you our very best wishes for a lovely weekend 😀
I first learned about this about two years ago while researching my family tree. My 12 times or so great grandmother was the original Dorothy Vernon of Haddon Hall. I did not know anything about this, but from my family tree, there was a couple of short stories recorded about the Dorothy Vernon legend, and after several plays were written and performed in London, Australia, and New York, in the 1923 or so a movie, starring a Mary Pickwith, was made. Dorothy Vernon was also a 12th Great Grandmother of Lady Diana Spencer, William and Harry's mother. The plays went thru several revisions over the years, with Dorothy ridding off during the night to rescue Mary Queen of Scots being persued by Qween Elizabeth I, and other revisions into Cromwell's occupation of England.
Congratulations on hitting 1,000 subscribers, guys. Cheers from the USA. Love your videos.
Hi! Thankyou so very much! We really appreciate your kind comment and support... it's amazing to have you watching from the USA... We hope you have a great weekend, Best wishes from us both 😊
Congrats on 1000 subscribers! Don’t forget me when you make it to Hollywood 🎉
Thankyou! CZcams account manager maybe?!
Hi 👋 Guys. A stunning place. The atmosphere there must be amazing. Maybe a ghost or two lurking around . Was that the tinkling piano intro to a Johnnie Mathis song ?. I like his vocals. From Carl in NZ.
Hi Carl! I'm sure there must be a few spirits wandering the corridors at night ... though it really doesn't feel at all spooky... perhaps it does at night though, we would love a wander around after dark! Thank you so much for watching and commenting we appreciate your support. Best wishes from Neil and Ant 😊
Hi guys. I'm just curious, but have you any interest in great houses and palaces outside the UK? I got interested in these grand old structures when I was stationed in Frankfurt, Germany, during the cold war. I was stationed there from 1981-1983. I spent all my free time roaming old palaces and castles in Europe, from ruined and abandoned to privately owned, and everything in between. But the palace of Caserta is the one that blows me away. You have to see it to believe it.
Love your videos.
Hi! Thankyou for watching and commenting! Great question and yes we'd love to! We recently watched a video on Caserta it is HUGE isn't it... it is definitely on our bucket list! We'd like to see Versailles too... We have talked about a European road trip so I think one-day it will happen. We hope your week has got off to a good start and we send you our very best wishes , Neil and Ant 😊
Just stunning 😳 you are so good at videoing ….thanks so much for bringing us along ….
Cheers from Sugarland Texas 🇺🇸🇬🇧
@cindy-wo4qt Hi Cindy! Thankyou so much for watching and taking the time to comment, we really appreciate it. We loved every minute at Haddon it's a really magical place... the gardens are the icing on the cake! Sending our very best wishes to you in Texas ... Neil and Ant 😊

@@toniadugger3954 Thankyou! 😊
My wife and I have always loved Haddon Hall. Your video work and commentary are very enjoyable. But we have to mute the audio and have captioning, which we would like to avoid because it interferes with the visuals. But it is difficult to get lost in the wonderful atmosphere of the place while hearing the constant presence of the background soundtrack. To us, it is an irritating and unnecessary addition to an otherwise fine video. Maybe you will reconsider its use here. But we did just subscribe, and we look forward to seeing more of your work.
Hi Carl and Susan... thankyou for watching, commenting and subscribing. Haddon is unique in its history and atmosphere, we love visiting . The gardens are a delight we could spend hours just wandering around outside. We have a Norfolk trip coming up and will certainly try a video without backing... We hope you have a good week and send you our best wishes 😊
Love the video, except for the music...
Thanks for the feedback... much appreciated.... Best wishes from us both 😊
It almost goes back to half the time when Jesus was still having supper with his disciples.
@@barrycrump6189 Hi Barry! What a thought! The place is steeped in history... we love it! Best wishes 😊
