I was very lucky to have a wonderful weekend at Peacock Cottage in the grounds of Kirby Hall.
What a lovely place to stay with such great proximity to the amazing ruins of the Hall. We felt honoured, as we felt like custodians when we were on our own and to be able to wander round when it was closed felt very special.
We also did the audio tour which was really interesting, as well as the beautiful architecture there is a lot of history to learn about. A very wonderful experience made better still by beautiful weather

Excellent ! Me and my partner came here for the afternoon and it was fascinating. Beautiful and a real historical eye opener. It’s great how it’s being maintained to be kept in the historic state it was.
Really lovely and i Thankyou for all your hard work x

Should have brought a picnic! What lovely grounds!
The peacocks were a hit with the young ones, as were the various interactive points in the house. Lie on the bed, head in a hole with a face, sit on a chair... all simple and effective. No disappointed kids with fancy interactive things not working. Simple and fun.
The staff were lovely! They were so friendly and chatty. They even explained the kids button collecting which despite being members for a long time, we knew nothing about.

Kirby Hall is an interesting place to visit. What remains of the house is very impressive; it must have been magnificent when it was first built. The rooms that can be visited are stripped bare, but contain some interesting historical information. In the grounds you'll meet the some very friendly peacocks.

English Heritage have done a fabulous job of the restoration , maintaining a balance between leaving the house as an atmospheric ruin yet at the same time providing sufficient information boards and “props” to allow you to imagine how the house was once lived in.
Just one issue… a discrete toilet facility rather than a portaloo would be appreciated!

Went for a flying visit but will definitely be going back to spend a couple of hours exploring the history fully. The staff were very friendly and helpful. There is an audio guide available to get into the history but sadly we didn't have time on this occasion. The garden wasn't anything special but the child accompanying us had a great time copying the statue models among the garden. We even got a chance to see two peacocks on the building roof!

Wouldn't have even known this place existed had it not been for English Heritage membership.
Was just expecting a 'bit of a ruin' to be fair but it was way more than that. The open courtyard is stunning on its own (lots of architectural symmetry which pleases me). But there's also rooms that give you an insight into the property, as it would have been when lived in and visited.
As always the staff at the entrance cabin were lovely, the free audio guide actually interesting and educational. The peacocks are also very friendly - ok make that will eat anything you drop from your picnic bench!
Gardens nice, but other than one border the rest of the parterre is grass and gravel so not as interesting as other venues. Plus no cafe and just portaloos for facilities.
However, we ended up having the place to ourselves at the end of the day which felt very special.

This is an amazing building - the architecture was novel in its time. Mostly now a run, but parts still have a roof and have been restored. The great hall ceiling is amazing, and the way they show the various stages of the house's life is fascinating. Really well done. It's a beautiful building. garden layout is good too. One can imagine the original parterres.

A splendid English Heritage site to visit. Some parts are ruins but one can visualise the splendour of it! Some parts remain intact. The audio guide provided helps to learn about the historical value.
The staff were enthusiastic & informative.
There are peacocks roaming around & not bothered by the tourists.

What is the closest train station and can i get a taxi from the station to the site?! Thanks for your help!

Hi, the nearest station is Corby, 1hr 20mins from St Pancras, change at Kettering. Taxis about 4 miles.
Take lunch, as no cafe on site.
Also, Rockingham Castle is very close to Corby (haven’t been as yet), as is lovely little market town of Uppingham, and Oakham a bit further away. Both with nice shops, places to eat, and famous public schools.
Hope this helps,
Tina
my ancestors lived in Kirby Hall Farm from 1847 onwards. My Great grandfather was Hutchinson Dalby Hunt was born there He migrated to Australia in 1850. Are there any photos or records left of Kirby Hall Farm? regards Kerry (Hunt) Eustace

It may be worth contacting the English Heritage directly as may have further historical records elsewhere.
Is it open on Mondays?
