“ It's not hard to see why Tennyson was happy here ”

The house was closed on the day we went - as was the road - but that's another story. The garden and the exhibition telling the story of the restoration are well worth the visit. Very good welcome at the gate, and the walk up through the garden was an absolute pleasure. Hard to imagine that just a few short years ago this area was occupied only by holiday bungalows.

We were delighted that long-lost features of Tennyson's garden have been restored. The fragments of his poetry scattered around the grounds are a reminder of the very special history of this place. The exhibition - well illustrated with documents and photos - brings the house to life. This has clearly been a labour of love for the new owners, who deserve full credit for all they have done in this remarkable project.

“ A Special Garden. ”

Just visited the garden and the park. The walled garden is really loved and fussed, a real pleasure to visit and good value for money.

“ Beautiful restoration ”

Visited the House yesterday. What a beautiful restoration. Found the audio guides really good and simple to use, to be able to stop and start them as you wish is really nice so you don't feel rushed and can pause to contemplate when you want to. Personally would like a bit more information and displays on the restoration of the building and how it has changed over the years. The sections showing the original wallpaper and friezes were excellent.

“ Best guides and stewards ”

Visited on Friday – best guides/stewards of anywhere I've been. The whole experience was excellent. I usually avoid headsets like the plague so it was wonderful to be offered a “headset” free machine. The only mild downside was the lack of refreshment facilities – but we survived. Thank you all at your beautiful property.
