Breamore House is a 16th-century Tudor-style country house located in Fordingbridge, Hampshire, England. The house features a mix of medieval and Renaissance architectural styles, with a facade adorned with ornate stone carvings, tall chimneys, and a grand entrance porch. The interior boasts intricate plasterwork, ornate wood paneling, and a grand staircase. The house is surrounded by 12 acres of beautifully landscaped gardens, featuring a walled garden, a rose garden, and a woodland walk.
If you want to visit the house or museum you are in for a treat, what a lovely house and area with a brilliant showing of how the land was worked and local shops looked like in times gone by. I went for the Breamore Historic Weekend and the internal combustion engines that where on show was to a very high level The cafe has a lovely menu and well priced food If you want to visit its well worth it and free parking which in this day and age is very rare
Lovely few hours here, such a lovely tour guide Esther, knowledgeable and engaging. Cafe was good and inexpensive. We didn't book in advance and were able to join a tour. Museum well worth a look around.
Museum was ok, could do with more display signs. Also it could do with a little tlc, a lot of cobwebs though daughter has some great photos from them. The steam craft event needed more steam and crafts.
Fabulous tour of Breamore House given by our knowledgeable guide Tom. Need to be booked in advance but a lovely hour being given info about previous owners etc and a look at their art work. Nearby museum and cafe were delightful. The tours start at two and the cafe shuts at 4 so best to get lunch first then go for the tour.
Enjoyed visit, but I have a few quibbles. The museum is wonderfully done. A huge number of exhibits spaciously displayed. The house Is well worth the visit, but guided tours only. I would have liked to have been able to take more time. Some lovely art, but often not labelled, and photography not allowed. I haven't found a guidebook, or any other way of capturing a memory of the art and things seen. The paintings don't appear to be on the Art UK website (which aims to be a comprehensive record of art in this country, and that's a shame). However the guide was very good, helpful, and knowledgeable. But for me (and perhaps I'm in a minority) I've more interest in the artist than who's in the picture. I attach two images of paintings of which copies(?) appear in the house. The beggar boy by Murillo (original in the Louvre) , and a wonderful self portrait by Judith Lester. (original in a private collection in the US). I enjoyed a coffee in the cafe, and thanks to the staff of the shop for their help in parking my bicycle in a secure place. A beautiful place to visit.
I visited with friends yesterday. Our first stop was the cafe, with lovely old wooden tables and other furniture, and 1930/40's music playing quietly in the background which added to the atmosphere. They serve a good selection of snacks, which were delicious and well presented. The museum gives a fascinating insight into rural life in bygone years, with shopfronts and rooms showing different trades and living conditions, including an old school room. The guided tour of the house was superb. Our guide gave us a detailed history of the house, former owners, the paintings and the beautiful furniture. She gave us so much interesting information. Wherever we went on the estate, all the staff and volunteers were welcoming and helpful.. Breamore Church, just outside the gates of the house is also worth a visit. I highly recommend a visit to Breamore House.
