Dip your toes in the Shaw experience; fascinating & so well organised.
أغسطس 2021
The winding lane that draws you towards Shaw's corner feels like being reeled into the place by G.B. himself. The guided tour was outstanding, far more revealing and interesting than we anticipated. A stroll around the garden finished off a most pleasant morning. An excellent example of what the national trust do best.

A real find !
زوجان • يوليو 2021
When my wife suggested it from the guide book, I sort of thought, OK, why not ?
Boy were my eyes opened. I had not realised what a great (significant man he was.
It is basically a former rectory, a good size, but not over big. We went round in a small guided group. Which was the right thing to do. Each tour takes about an hour. Don’t be over confident in actually finding it. We are not inexperienced, but instead of arriving in good time, we were just in time.
But the story of Bernard, was absolutely fascinating. I am glad I went.

Very intresting to see the house and the garden where George Bernard Shaw lived. Very friendly and kindly volunteers working in the shop and in the house.
Really good place to visit.

Excellent guided tour
زوجان • سبتمبر 2019
We went on one of the guided tours, which you must pre-book as it is limited to ten visitor at a time. It gives more access to the house than would be the case on a standard tour. The guide was excellent and provided lots of interesting facts about Shaw away from his life as a writer. The house is very evocative and is preserved very much as it was when Shaw lived there. The gardens are well kept and attractive. Recommended

Prepared to be shouted at
الأصدقاء • أغسطس 2019
Unfortunalely our visit was spoiled the moment we arrived. The car park is small and almost full, although it was possible to fit a couple more cars in. We parked in one such place, adjacent to the beverages van in the car park. We were shouted at to say that we couldn't park there, which seemed a bit strange - it was part of the car park. When we asked why, we were told it was because of 'Health and Safety'. That seemed strange so we asked why health and safety was being contravened. The response was: 'I don't know, my manager told me'. Interesting. We parked elsewhere ... on a road, probably less safe.
The house and grounds are ok, but arguably pricey - more palatable for NT members.
There are many other friendlier places to visit, be they NT, EH or other.
Given the unfriendliess, we won't return.

Beautiful National Trust House of GBS.
أغسطس 2019
It's a beautiful house in a beautiful setting. Amazing to see the house where GBS (George Bernard Shaw) lived and worked. You can walk the grounds, and imagine yourself getting inspiration for the next book you could write - or imagine GBS himself doing the same.

Always Wanted to Visit Here
بمفردك • أغسطس 2019
Having lived in Wheathampstead for nearly 32 years and having passed this numerous times without going in, I decided today would be the day.
The entrance fee is a on the expensive side for what it is at nearly £9 per head for adults but I did see a family ticket was £25, so it may be cheaper if you do it that way.
I started with a stroll around the grounds, looking at the Statue of St Joan in the dip, the revolving writing hut, the gardens and the orchard before going inside the house when it opened at 1pm.
It’s an impressive stately home set in nice grounds and I can see that it is a nice place to sit in peace writing plays and letters etc.
Worth a visit.

Pure delight
أغسطس 2019
We have visited quite a few bigger National Trust houses during our travels in the U.K., but visiting smaller homes is even more rewarding. It gives you an intimate look in how they lived, worked and what inspired them. This visit to George Bernard Shaw's house was a pure delight, with very friendly and knowledgeable volunteers working in the shop and the house. I loved the rotating writing hut, located in the lovely garden, and the house is just as he left it ... as if he's just walked out and could return at any moment. There is a lot to see and learn at Shaw's Corner, so do not be disheartened by the at times tricky drive. It's well worth it!

Really interesting and Shaw organised it himself, so it is as he wanted it to be seen.

A very interesting museum, and it is very homely and welcoming, with many of Shaw's belongings, including the Oscar he won.

Hi David , the reason that rooms at Shaws Corner are closed off are because they were cleared out and used as storage, a office, and the curator lives there. Don't you think that to change the house in anyway is not possible due to being a protected house ?

How far from london

Sorry for the slow reply. It is about 25 miles from the centre of London in a village called Ayot St Lawrence. It is only a small village but five minutes walk away there is a good old fashioned pub called the Brocket Arms if you want a drink or lunch.

How do we get there by car

You really need navigation to get there. It is complicated with lots of narrow back and side roads.
