The House has been the ancestral home of the famous Elton Family for 300 years, and Julia Elton DL very generously opened the doors of her wonderful family home for guests, giving them the chance to take an exclusive tour of the historic house and gardens

Thanks to perfect weather on the day, guests were able to enjoy a leisurely afternoon tea on the terrace accompanied by a jazz quartet.
