I'm not fussed about hearing Dennis's 'voice' - but would love the experience of going back in time. Am happy to pay for the better experience - but not sure if the £70 tour is something else? Can anyone let me know their experiences? Thank you!

Hello We enjoyed it but it is very different! You are greeted by an actor who plays parts from a fictional family who is said to have lived at the house. You start in the basement and go to the beginning (a bit of Roman) and then are taken through the different floors of the house and through different periods of the house. We found it Really entertaining! You have an actor and 6-8 people. He is funny and believable and I would recommend it!
My 80 year old mum, struggles with stairs, would access be a problem? Thank you

The house has five levels and stairs are the only way you can ascend or descend. She could go up to the sitting room and sit on a side chair and wait while enjoying the room.
