This page is a work-in-progress, listing by county, all the stately home hotels and B&Bs.
So when visiting other stately homes open during the day, you can be aware which nearby houses offer accommodation overnight, or lunch/afternoon tea if limited time/budget. Often visiting a hotel for lunch will give you an idea whether it suits you to stay overnight on a future holiday. If you know of a house not on this list, please mention it in a comment.
