The downstairs is a private museum having been lovingly restored to its original Victorian fixtures and fittings including the black leaded fireplace. When you enter the house you really do walk back in time to over a century ago.

Come to one of the best tourist areas in the country. This is Robin Hood Country - The visitor centre at Edwinstowe in Sherwood Forest is great for grown ups and children alike with the Major Oak, Robin's favourite hideout. Live the legend with family events throughout the year. See also the Tales of Robin Hood in Nottingham. Derbyshire Peak District National Park is also on the doorstep. Arguably the best country house in Britain - Chatsworth House, is nearby. Had JFK's sister Kathleen and her husband the Marquis of Hartington lived she would have been the Duchess of Devonshire.
