Visited this National Trust property which used to belong to Disraeli. The house is interesting and the story of Disraeli's two faiths (Jewish & Christian) was interesting as was the use of the hosue during the second world war for creating target maps of Europe. The volunteer guides were knowledgeable, attentive and interesting. Well worth a visit.

Been meaning to go again for ages as not been since I was at school - really sweet little place - few bits of great living history including a World War I trench and a Victorian Kitchen - the original Red Lion and lots of old photos of the town - little gift shop with some pretty hand made crafts and local produce - mostly reasonable prices - along with some nice cake and tea/coffee. Limited but free parking and free entry - great thing to do on a rainy day in the school holidays. Lots of courses and events as well - highly recommend

My small children absolutely loved visiting Santa at odds farm today. The staff/elves were so engaging and enthusiastic. We visited Santa, made a stuffed toy and then they got to pick out their own toy! The penguin show was fun and the children loved it. Lunch at the cafe was good and they thoroughly enjoyed the soft play...a really fun day, and good value for money.. Thank you to Santa and the elves!

West Wycombe Park, house, was built during the 18th century, (1740-1780), Under the instruction of its owner, Sir Francis Dashwood, 2nd Baronet. It was built in the neo-classical style, very italianate,unusual for English architecture. Very elaborate furniture & decoration adorn its interior, although, when visiting, only the ground floor can be explored, as the upper floors are still occupied by the Dashwood family.The house lies in 45 acres of grounds, with small temples dotted around, making it a very beautiful place to visit. The property was given to the National Trust in the 1940s by the 10th baronet, its open during the summer months, although the grounds can be explored most of the year. The property is accessed via the High st running through West Wycombe village, which is also Nat Trust, in the village, you'll a couple of lovely old pubs & an excellent tea room, the grounds of W W park, does not have a tea room.The house has been used as a backdrop in many tv dramas, including Downton abbey & Cranford. I thoroughly recommend a visit to this beautiful house & its grounds.

Staff are always friendly here and ask if you enjoyed the film and what you are going to see etc. I have always had a very positive experience here and my husband and I ensure that we watch all new films here. The screens are great and I love the size of the big screen with the box. All in all - a great cinema with wonderful staff.

Parking took a while but worth it! Went with family including ages from 6 upwards, 5 people in all, and it was brilliant for everyone. Well staffed and trampolines were well monitored. Very busy but still lots to do really safely. Refreshments available and seating. Would certainly recommend!
