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.

We loved our visit. The guides were really knowledgeable and passionate about their work. They were also great storytellers that brought the poets' story to life. Though I'm personally not a fan of audio guides (I read much faster), I was glad that most of the information was also to be found in leaflets in the rooms. The interior was absolutely stunning, especially all the replications of the wallpaper, curtains and rugs.

First visit to Farringford House today (recommended for a rainy day!). We are so impressed by the standard of renovation and decoration and the equally impressive and enthusiastic guides who make it very easy to visualise how this historic house looked in Alfred Lord Tennyson's day. What a transformation from the house's previous incarnation as a hotel!

A beautifully restored piece of history, the staff were lovely and really well informed. Well worth a visit.
