We made a point of going here on Sunday. Lovely weather. Obviously a family home . Shown around by the mother and son in relay! Both were enthusiastic and love the challenge that owning such a house throws at them. They were mines of information about all aspects and kept up a witty and entertaining commentary throughout Good value and... More

What a great way to spend an afternoon! The family act as tour guides and are very charismatic! The house is beautiful and full of interesting tales of history. Lark Rise to Candleford and Tess of the Durbevilles were also filmed there which makes it even more interesting if you are a fan. All in all very pleasant. More

Chavenage House - very historical, well worth a visit. I first saw this wonderful house when I was taking part in a film there. I go back every year with our Club for an excellent lunch too, all in-house catering. More

But we quickly caught up with the dozen other visitors led by David Lowndes-Williams, the 6th generation owner. The Elizabethan building and its rooms an furnishings... More

Not your ordinary country house experience. The house itself has a lot of history, though is charmingly ramshackle. What really made the place special however was the tour conducted by the owner's daughter, Caroline. (The family still lives in the house). Anecdotes flowed in quick succession which gave you not only a good idea about the house's colourful history, but... More

This is the most delightful Cotswold country house (immortalised in the Are You Being Served spinoff tv series "Grace and Favour"). It is a lovely afternoon tour that is provided by members of the family who live there, and well worth a visit. Recommended! More
