Useful information for your visit

• We're using a booking system for visits to manage the visitor numbers across the site and to spread out arrivals throughout the day. Please arrive within your half-hour timeslot. If you’re more than ten minutes late for your arrival slot, entry will be at the discretion of the property team.
• Stoneywell is a short distance from the car park and all visitors must take the shuttle for the remainder of the journey. If it isn’t in the car park when you arrive it won’t be too far away.
• The cottage can be explored at your leisure at regular times throughout the day.
• If you would like to enjoy one of our guided tours you'll be given a token at the stableyard to hand in at the front door of the cottage at the start of your tour.
• You’re welcome to stay as long as you like until the last return shuttle to the car park at 4.45pm.
