National Trust - Moseley Old Hall

Fantastic place to visit full of history. This place is particularly lovely to visit when the weather is decent. There are some lovely meadows and woods with fantastic areas set aside for you to build dens, play games, or just sit and take in the amazing views. Charles II hid here while fleeing from Cromwells soldiers in 1651. The priest hole he his from and the bed he slept in are still there today. There is even a letter written by the king to Jane Lane (a lady who helped him on his journey from the house to safety) on display. The gardens are beautiful and the cafe is lovely. Drinks and food are fairly priced, and they had lots of lovely baked goods available. Parking wasn't an issue with plenty of spaces available. Be sure to talk to the guids on the way round as they are full of knowledge and stories! If you love history, or if you don't, this really is a beautiful place to visit

A great day out. It did help that it was lovely whether when we went but the farmhouse was very interesting and it seems like we missed the guided tour of the house but one of the volunteers inside was more than happy to talk to us about the paintings and Charles II who was hiding in the house. Very interesting all in all and a great cafe! Recommend, it was great for the kids too as there was a great treehouse in the forest there 😃

Very nice historic house, run by the national trust. A tenner each to get in. Everything is well looked after and when we went, there were numerous volunteers around the house explaining the different rooms and the history of how King Charles II was in hiding and on the run. I think the tree that he had hidden in is closer to Boscobel House which is nearer Wolverhampton town centre. All of the furniture inside is period correct, which is basically hand carved. The textiles are all hand made and interesting. There a load of oil paintings around the house. Finally, there is a room which highlights some of the specific historical trinkets. Loved it. The gardens are really nice. There a few games for the kids to play. There are a couple of bookshops, a cafe and tearoom. We were probably an hour all in. Didn’t have time for afternoon tea. Maybe next time.

This is a particularly well run National Trust site. Activities are available for children in addition to plenty for adults to enjoy too. The tea room is accessed from some stairs. It is well stocked. The staff are well trained, presentable, friendly and engaging. The gardens are extensive with woodland to wonder about in too. The house is well presented and has plenty to learn about.

Fantastic little gem, with a very rich history. Ran and cared for by national trust. Fantastic guides who had super knowledge of the house. Plenty of rooms to explore and beautiful gardens to walk around. They had a load of games for kids in the gardens, den building, and a tree fort. Has a cafe, gift shop and large car park.
