Really interesting and sad hour walking through the house and rooms, still looking as they did when the boys/family lived there. Through the attic and back down to reception. Check the website for 'what's on' tea/coffee available and you can park in the old orchard...
Such a delightful place to visit. The story of this 'stuck in time' house is fascinating and the vast amount of items is incredible. The volunteers were so nice and informative. Really enjoyable and fully recommended.
Amazing group of volunteers that work at the house. They are so knowledge and have so many stories about Mr Straw, the Straw Family and the house itself from who owned it, why it has been kept as a time capsule as well as unique stories about the tenants and encounters with those that remember the history.nThe house itself is packed full of history. It is dark inside to keep everything safe and secure from the damages of time. The items are unique with some of the rooms holding loads of small items including chocolate boxes and bottles. The listening pod has a few stories about the grocery shop owned by Straw and his personality about a funny story about the shop cat.nThe garden is stunning. The cactus green house still prominent. The gift shop had a few items including stationary, cacti, blind dates with a book and rare books.
Very friendly staff & volunteers greeted us, the lady stationed in the historic house was very knowledgeable about the previous occupants. It like stepping in to a time warp, very interesting glimpse into the past. Worth a visit, you have to pre-book a time slot.
An amazing place!! A time capsule which takes you back to the early 20th century and before. A fascinating look at how people lived back then and the things they owned and loved. I loved every minute!
