Excellent tour of a beautiful, historical house. We were welcomed warmly. The tour guide was most informative. Highly recommended, but booking is necessary due to the limited days of opening. It's a lived-in family home.
Beautiful setting for an amazing opportunity to see the Crediton Brass band and help with a charity organization.
Private house only open for guided tours for a few days per year. Our guide was the owner and he made the most of the interesting aspects of the house and family history. Really enjoyable visit - would highly recommend.
Wonderful visit! We arrived early and the owner came out and sat with us and chatted about the house and grounds and his future plans. Our guide was a volunteer from the town who knew the House well.
What a splendid location for the Crediton Scouts' 110th birthday party! A lovely building, a lovely garden, views and parkland. Really grand.
