There is something a little bit shabby about Tapeley or is that amateurish?
The lake is reached along a wooded walk. I presume it is maintained but it is like walking through a wood and finding a secret lake.
The vegetable garden looked horridly neglected. If this all seems horribly negative then I have to say I liked Tapeley. The areas around the house were lovely with lots of different planting and the house made a striking backdrop.
It could do with a serious injection of cash but it makes a change to the corporate National Trust look.
And the cafe serves lovely bacon!(2.0/5)
