Magnificent late Victorian country house with gardens and wooded estate

Lanhydrock is the perfect country house and estate, with the feel of a wealthy but unpretentious family home.

After a devastating fire in 1881 the house was refurbished in the high-Victorian style, with the best in country-house design and planning, and the latest mod cons.

The kitchens, nurseries and servants' quarters offer a thrilling glimpse into life 'below stairs', while the luxurious family areas, elegant dining room and spacious bedrooms reveal the comforts of ‘upstairs’ living.

Experience the heyday of the Agar-Robartes family, who made Lanhydrock their home, and discover how their fortunes changed during the First World War.
