The National Trust...The "Trust" that won't allow "nationals" "leave the EU" people onto trust property? They've shot themselves in the foot I'm afraid, also they allow fox hunts onto the land that they manage... English Heritage here we and our money, come..

Almost as bad as Ryan Air

Their booking system is the second worst system for wasting time ever!!! Shows you how bad it is when the only worse one is the Ryan Air refunds website. Shockingly bad having to queue for so long for nothing

Obscene WebChat wait times; woeful website

WebChat wait times are obscene. An hour wait is not acceptable. Emails take days to respond to. Unable to amend account online. Terrible. Thankfully the NT locations are great. Hopefully the luddites in Customer Service can improve the account management UI/UX.

Abjectly Poor Customer Service and Questionable Business Practice

After approaching ten years of membership we are compelled to cancel our membership due to customer service and general business prctices that would shame a Victorian Slum Landlord.Cannon Rawnsley will doubtless be spinning in his grave.

I have just cancelled my long standing National Trust membership.I do not want to finance an organization that spends lots of its membership money on looking back in history to find events that rubbish Great Britain.

Way overpriced now.

Way overpriced now.Had to pay PER PERSON rather than for car, liked it used to be. Cancelled membership and won't return. If this is a way to recoup costs, I suggest a rethink.

Notice hung outside the enclosed coffee shop: "Dogs Welcome", thereby ensuring I would not enter. Surely it is illegal to have canines in a food establishment? No self responsible catering employee would work there? This comment relates to Polesdon Lacey.

We have been using the NT sites for the past year and have found them to be incredibly accommodating, helpful and a well needed escape from everyday life.

I have just cancelled my family membership.

I have just cancelled my family membership of 20 years. You have no right to determine how history should be written, that isn't in your remit. Airbrushing history is the way communism continues.Go woke, go broke.

land-grabbing nanny-state fascists

land-grabbing nanny-state fascists. vast swathes of once pristine countryside fenced off and covered in car parks, coach parks, tea-rooms, restaurants, souvenir shops, visitor centres.....all in the name of 'conservation'.

They don't answer the phone and they don't respond to emails. They've forgotten that they're meant to help their members.

We requested a refund for a holiday cancelled by the National Trust we were told that they hadnt cancelled - they have just postponed it! We would prefer a refund - not forthcoming. Not impressed at all.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do not contribute to this organization. Most of your money is going to people who want to destroy or decry our history not to celebrate it

The National Trust discriminate against applicants based on their ethnicity and age. My job application was rejected because they are prejudiced towards people with a foreign name.

So very expensive and property I visited was full of children running around and damaging the collection. I do realise the Trust has to make money but at what cost to the things they are ENTRUSTED to care for!

Will the Trust now make single send toilets the norm at their properties? It is offensive and against the vast majority view not to do so.

As living history reenactors we raise a lot of money for the national Trust giving our time money & effort to enhance their events. They don't even give us a cuppa. Poor show

Gift memberships a waste of money

I bought gift memberships for all my family at Christmas, over £400. Not one has still been able to make a visit. Total waste of money. Will not be renewing any of them again.

Still Paying full membership but never able to get a booking slot ...absolutely pointless.. either guarantee members at least one priority booking slot a month or reduce monthly membership...times are hard for everyone

Money grabbing National Trust have now gone too far, by hiking up the entry free to an unrealistic level at Dunham and Lyme ParkWe definitely won't be renewing membership.
