Beautiful decorations for Victorian Christmas, including toys from ilkley toy museum. Kitchen and servants quarters well presented.
Very different from the usual rest stop. Attractive, relaxed, food looks good, toilets great.
An invitation to explore from the dark brick facade, down the winding stair into a preserved world. Wish there were more atmospheric spaces to discover rather than the rooms dedicated to exhibition.
Long tour, chance to see collection of scientific instruments created from 14th century on to the last century. Also stain glass, portraiture furniture,all in the most stunning surroundings.
Visited as part of Open House Weekend. Stunning all round. Ships' timbers incorporated in building and artistic creativity of designers and crafts people on display.
