A prime example of the Mixed Style, made with the great resources of the Rothschild family. The house was started in 1877. Five parallel drives lead to the north front. The garden contains Italian terraces,a lavish aviary, a rock garden made from artificial Pulham stone, Italian, French and Dutch statues, a large collection of specimen trees and shrubs. The practice of furnishing the terraces with elaborate bedding has been resumed.

A French chateau dropped in the bucks countryside. The Victorian garden is sublime, some pretty planting, lovely topiary.
it does lack a certain intimacy.(5.0/5) -

Over the last 6 years or so this place has been massively pulled up by its boot straps and is noe spectacular. M'thimks a big drop of Rothschild money has been thrown at the gardens. The resurrection of very fine and near extravagent Victorian bedding schemes are brilliant, both in the lovely use of colours and the quality of planting.
Many other areas have been upgraded as well so the overall effect and experience is lovely.
PS Great cream teas but the scones are huge..one between two is enough !(5.0/5) -
