We know that you want to make the most out of your day and that sometimes you don't have much time to spend with us. The Stowe estate is quite large and so we suggest that you start or end your visit to Stowe with the House. This allows your coach to drop your group right outside our front door. Arrive first at the House private entrance. Your coach can then wait here while you enjoy your tour of the House before whisking you off to start your garden visit at New Inn. New Inn is the perfect place to enjoy lunch before heading out to explore the Gardens. Alternatively your group can enjoy the morning in the Gardens, grab a spot of lunch at the cafe in New Inn before boarding your coach to travel to the House. This allows you to enjoy Stowe's highlights and makes the most of your time all while avoiding too much walking. Arriving at the House first for your morning tour? Ask your driver to use postcode - MK18 5EH Arriving first at the Gardens to explore the beautiful landscape and temples? Ask your driver to use postcode - MK18 5EQ Download a map of the coach route between the House and Garden entrances
Once we have received your enquiry form we can arrange for you to have a familiarisation visit so you can see exactly how your day will work. We can show you the two entrances to the estate and we can discuss any accessibility requirements your group might have.
Make your visit extra special with refreshments in one of our stunning State Rooms. You can have your refreshments on arrival or departure. Tea, coffee and biscuits: £3.50 per person Tea, coffee and a selection of cakes: £5.00 per person Additional catering options available - please get in touch for details. Please advise us of any dietary requirements.
