An unusual and attractive private chapel forms part of the house and carols are sung here on Christmas Eve and weddings celebrated throughout the year. The feeling of a private house grows on you as go through the solid front door into the outer hall, full of green wellies of all sizes, fishing rods, walking sticks, deerstalker hats and all the paraphanalia of country living. Through another door and you are in the splendid main hall, which is just what a hall should be in such a house. Ring it and welcoming help quickly arrives either from Ailsa or David Assenti, the owners, or from their enthusiastic staff. The bedrooms are enormous and many of them have their own sitting room and, in some cases, even their own front hall.
Bathrooms are also vast and the splendid Edwardian fittings have been preserved.
Bath towels and robes and bathroom accessories are of a high standard. There are fine views of the gardens and of the policies , as they say in Scotland, with some of the fattest rabbits I have seen heavily populating the lawns. These bedroom suites are very comfortable indeed and are agreeably furnished with arm chairs and writing desks and television sets. Everywhere, throughout the house, are delightful ornaments and pictures, which reinforce the feeling of a private home. As well as the main hall, there are six other public rooms, including an attractive and elegant library, which can also be used as a private dining room, and a large conservatory, where breakfast is normally served.
