Visited this National Trust property which used to belong to Disraeli. The house is interesting and the story of Disraeli's two faiths (Jewish & Christian) was interesting as was the use of the hosue during the second world war for creating target maps of Europe. The volunteer guides were knowledgeable, attentive and interesting. Well worth a visit.

Been meaning to go again for ages as not been since I was at school - really sweet little place - few bits of great living history including a World War I trench and a Victorian Kitchen - the original Red Lion and lots of old photos of the town - little gift shop with some pretty hand made crafts and local produce - mostly reasonable prices - along with some nice cake and tea/coffee. Limited but free parking and free entry - great thing to do on a rainy day in the school holidays. Lots of courses and events as well - highly recommend

New owners have finally taken over this lovely little pub! Be prepared to be blown away as the food is on another level. Probably one of the best Sunday dinners I’ve ever had. So worth a visit and I guarantee you won’t be disappointed. Extremely friendly staff
