Stafford Villa

While I didn’t get to sleep in their luxurious looking beds, I thoroughly enjoyed an ‘other-​worldly’ expedition into their garden for High Tea, then a tremendous explore through the house afterwards. If you’ve seen the movie ‘Pride & Prejudice’, this place resembles Longbourn in many respects. High Tea was delicious and served on real china. There’s a giant, outdoor chess game to enjoy, or you can indulge in an absorbing book sitting at the beautiful window seat. The lights are not turned on with light switches, but long tassels that hang down from the ceiling. It’s a bit disorientating leaving this slice of the past, but one must leave eventually.
Unfortunately, this place will soon close in the New Year, so get in quickly while you still can!
