Surprisingly different from some of the other National Trusts we have been to. We were lucky to get to visit, as it turned out this is only open one week a month. Plus if we thought of going there in August it is closed completely as it is rented out for people to stay in. Yes, actually stay there. Which explains why I got confused looking around and saw a Mix of old and new together.

Have to say it was all done very sympathetically and somehow the two different eras worked well together...
I still enjoyed seeing the old styles though
(I used a fisheye view to get more of the rooms in)
this was a spy hole that looked out to the entrance
they got to see visitors and decide if they would answer the door no doubt
Look carefully and you will see the spy hole
Well worth a visit

What a lovely old house and gardens. Thanks for taking us on the tour with you xx
Love the stone and the old decor. Well worth a visit indeed.
That's quite a magnificent place. It would be fun to stay there for a few days and pretend I'm Lord (or Lady) of the Manor! I wish I had a spy hole like that.
Yes, it was lovely there Pat. One of these days I would love to visit some of the National Trust Scotland properties :)
The whole place was a surprise to us, especially that people could actually book and stay there!
Wouldn't it just...it would need a Lurcher though don't you think! ;)
What a lovely place! I can see why people would like to stay there on holiday. :)
Imagine how wonderful it would be to stay there, what a a lovely house and gardens. I like the spy hole, I could do with one of those myself :)
In a lovely area too :)
I thought the spy hole was a great idea :)
I can't imagine getting to stay in such a gorgeous place!
It would be very special to stay there I agree. I'm glad we visited it :)
What a lovely place! Thanks for the tour!
