Absolutely fascinating house with wonderful volunteers. Steeped in history and as Ted Heath left it full of his possessions including paintings, photos, books, his piano and gifts from all the dignitaries that he met. The garden is beautiful. It was a privilege being able to visit this house and gardens.
Wonderful evening spent at Arundells, watched local young people perform after one to one piano lessons on the beautiful Steinway Piano in the music room.
Afterwards drinks and buffet in the amazing gardens .
Truly a jewel in Salisbury’s crown !
A must visit .
This beautiful house is almost the same as it was when Sir Edward Heath passed. There's a host of wonderful paintings and an amazing mural on the walls of staircase. The beautiful landscaped gardens reach down to the river. I would highly recommend a visit.
The only home owned by Ted Heath. He lived at Arundells for 20 years until he died. A keen sailor and musician and collector of Japanese Art, the home reflects his taste. Even if you're not a fan of his politics, still a fascinating insight
One of the two visits you should not miss when in Salisbury (the other being the room where the Magna Carta is kept). A beautiful house full of history and art. All rooms have guides, some of them very knowledgeable. If you are keen in British politics or art, or simply like nice old houses with great views, I can’t recommend this visit enough.
This is a really enjoyable visit. The thing that we noticed is that it isn't like a national trust property with items and artifacts from lots of different periods, this was Edward Heath's home, unchanged since he lived there. As such it is definitely a home with so many interesting things to look at. The guides were informative and helpful and the garden fabulous. A lovely afternoon.
Really lovely house museum of Edward Heath, former PM. Much better than I thought it was going to be, room guides and staff were super knowledgeable. The house felt warm and inviting, just like a lived in home. The garden is lovely and looks out onto the confluence of the Nadder and Avon rivers.
Ground floor and garden accessible by wheelchair. Toilet available.
Really worth a visit. You see exactly how the house was lived in all furniture etc was as left. The items and photos on show were really interesting. The gardens were a riot of colour. The staff were informative, friendly and welcoming. Seeing how someone lived who I remembered from not too long ago made the visit well worth while. Excellent value for money.
