National Trust Waddesdon Manor

Friendly staff required to start and end the charge, but clearly marked and easy to find.

Found 4 charging points in the main car park. Although they are Chargemaster branded posts, they are not part of the network and have no smartcard reader. I asked at the ticket office (200 yards away) and the staff knew exactly how to enable the points. On return, you need to get the post deactivated to be able to remove the cable but again the staff knew exactly what to do. Only downside was an inconsiderate/incompetent driver who parked across two spaces using one charge point but making the second inaccessible.

Charged successfully but as previously stated you do need to visit the NT kiosk to get a member of the very helpful NT staff to insert a key into the charge point to start and end your session

There a four, Type2 charging points in the main car park. Free to use though presumably only if you visit Waddesdon Manor. Worked perfectly - though it was not clear initially that you needed to see the staff at the ticket office (about 30 metres away) who have physical keys to enable the chargers. Word of warning - to disconnect your vehicle, the (volunteer?) staff need to unlock the charger again, so check when the ticket office closes!

Unable to charge my Nissan Leaf at this location, firstly non electric/hybrid cars were parked in the spaces provided, and after a bit of manoeuvring managed to squeeze between two cars only to find the charging point (which was hidden in a thicket of bushes) wasn't in operation! Car park staff at this well known attraction were very unhelpful and at one point even said I wouldn't bother it doesn't work anyway! all in all a bit stressful especially to those who drive a long distance and then have a worrisome time wondering how on earth they are going to get home again! Also, note that charging point only has x2 13A sockets so even if it does work in the future don't expect a rapid charge!
