Hatfield House

Staff very friendly and helpful. Lift to access all floors, however due to it being very old (as is the house) it is rather small and if you have a larger than average wheelchair you may not be able to get in. Hatfield House is a country house set in a large park, the Great Park, on the eastern side of the town of Hatfield, Hertfordshire.

Hatfield House is unusual for a stately home, in that it has a small lift inside so you can go upstairs in a wheelchair or very small mobility scooter. The usual problem of historic buildings being unwilling to put in lifts is overcome here by the fact that a past aristocratic owner installed a lift for himself. Nice to be able to have a good look around a stately home for once.
