University trip to Paxton five star experience

My colleagues and I thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Paxton House, with a truly fascinating and engaging tour from Dr Fiona Salvesen Murrell who was very impressive and passionate when sharing the history of the House and the family, particularly for our research trip Fiona managed to deliver an engaging tour that was relevant to our various research topics and covered the broad history of the building. Fiona and her team should be really proud of the great lengths they have gone to in terms of research, creative methods and funding. I highly recommend visiting the House, the exhibition and the surrounding gardens with a stroll to the nearby Union Bridge.

Little gem of a place

What a lovely little find! Spent more than 3 hours here with my son (6) and husband – den building and playing on the adventure playground. Didn’t even get to look round the house or go for walks, my son was just happy building dens! Lovely cafe too with little kids lunch packs on offer: very reasonable price for us to enter the grounds at £16 for all of us. Friendly staff. Will def be back on our next hols!

Stables Tea Room – Afternoon Tea

OMG what a lovely surprise, more than your usual afternoon tea and I’ve had a few. We sat down and were immediately given a wee china tea cup full of hot soup – delicious, then came the Afternoon tea, we could not believe it, turkey, stuffing and gravy sandwiches, egg mayo, ham and pickle, cheese and pickle, home made sausage rolls, home made quiche, cheese scones, then the desert tower, all manner of goodies as well as scones, jam and clotted cream. Unlimited tea and coffee. We were royally stuffed , the best value for money ever by sheer amount. Anything left we were given take away boxes for so we could enjoy later at home.
Bravo to the cook/ staff unbelievable quality, amount and great service. Book in advance but well worth it. £26 per person and thoroughly worth every penny.
