National Trust - Stoneacre

Small but interesting national trust house. Enjoyed seeing the lambs in the field at the rear of the property and received a great welcome from the lady staffing the entrance. Probably best done when the weather is good to see it at it's best.

Our second property on our excursion was Stoneacre and it is so gorgeous! We knew very little about it and got there a little late having charged the car on the way but the volunteers were so helpful and informative. The NT app doesn't tell you much about the property but it was the perfect accompaniment to Red House as Aymer Vallance, the guy who restored it in the 1920s, was friends with William Morris and you could see the similarities, particularly in the glasswork! I really really recommend a visit, the house is small but detailed, the garden was stunning including this sea of daffodils and the tearoom looked fab (we didn't have time to indulge ourselves). Absolutely loved it!

Another beautiful national trust site. Open weekends and with a lovely garden to sit it after your tour inside. Independent coffee area with great food too.

Interesting medieval house, worth a visit, but only open on selected dates, do check out the National Trust website first

A small but charming house and garden. No cafe.

Only open on a limited number of days per year. Well worth negotiating the twisty lanes with many blind corners to reach the house which is cared for by enthusiastic knowledgeable volunteers.
If you have mobility impaired guests with you then drive up to the gate and drop them off before parking your car back down the lane.

Fantastic little house and garden. The property is down some very small narrow lanes. Parking is in a grass field near the house or disabled parking is a bit further up. There are not many facilities, just a toilet. Staff were really friendly and welcoming. Would have been nice to have had some information boards in the rooms.

My partner and I really enjoyed our visit. What an amazing place! Beautifully maintained house and gardens. The guides really know their history too. A truly lovely Sunday afternoon spent in the Garden of England.
