Spend 1.5 hours (tops) going around this unusual house that is more like a giant folly. It can get a bit crowded as it isn't big but really interesting. Not sure what has happened to NT pricing but it was a bit steep for such a small attraction, it wasn't as though you could spend the day there and the... More

the garden was superb with Tulips in full flight. The rooms were impressive in this 16 sided house as they were all full of little curious which made our visit very interesting. Volunteers very friendly and knowledgable. The staff in the restaurant (not NT) were not so good and the young man on the cash register could not work out... More

I went there on Tuesday 17th May by coach with the Purbeck Association of the National Trust. Unfortunately the road was too narrow to take a coach and traffic going the other way. It was badly signposted and the coach driver had to go on a mile detour to get back. We split into three groups of 10. The restaurant... More

we sent the weekend in Devon at a very wet and windy time, so we decided to check our National Trust book and came up with this one, a nice place to spend an afternoon and the guides were very informative

This is a great house. Well worth a visit. The shape is really unusual and the decoration is quirky to say the least. The shell gallary looks lovely. Unfortunately the shell gallary is too fragile to go into but you can look up at it or look at it on the interactive screen. There is a local church, that was... More
