Farringford

Testimonials

The current owner has restored this house exceptionally well. The atmosphere is preserved so well its a time capsule that needs little imagination to appreciate the life of Tennyson and the family. It reflects his desire to be somewhat isolated from the fame and adulation of his "fans " . Seeking peace and privacy to undertake his craft. Tha guides are knowledgeable and to hand. The audio tour adds so much more. For the less mobile there are several steps and a flight of stairs to negotiate but guides were available to help. A good experience and the grounds and gardens can be enjoyed at leisure. Parking couldn't be easier.

Everything here is really lovely and clean, beds are very comfortable!

The only small thing we didn't like was the mugswe drink our tea from, they were heavy and cumbersome, perhaps you could include tea cups and saucers in the future.

Thank you for a very nice stay!!

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!
