Wow! What an amazing building! Our extended family thoroughly enjoyed our time in Chase House. The history of the house is evident in its very fabric; the stones, the wood and the hangings. The fact that Pitt Rivers himself lived and worked here is just mind-blowing! The carefully tended gardens provide a fabulous setting for this magnificent homeRead more and it was pure joy to sit in the hot tub as the sun set behind autumnal trees listening to the local wildlife settling down for the night; the owls, in particular were a highlight for us, as they called their forlorn greetings to each other across the valley. Inside the house, the main hall serves as a colossal dining room, warmed by a huge ancient fireplace. The upstairs lounge, equally furnished with a wood burning fireplace (with plenty of dried logs) leads off to a whole host of bedrooms and bathrooms to suit our large group's needs. The kitchen provided us with a table large enough to breakfast around and a range big enough to prepare our extensive meals. I wholeheartedly recommend Chase House to any large group looking to have a break from the modern world, traveling back, to a much grander time. Hide
