The space
The history of the house stems from the Quaker origins of a large west country mill owners family. The house also shows the families early associations with banking, mountaineering, ski-ing, and railways. First built by Thomas Fox in 1797, currently owned by Ben & Victoria Fox, it has been enjoyed by the Big House Company guests for 25 years. The history of the house has been blended into a delightful space for groups to enjoy time together with 2 large dining rooms, 2 sitting rooms, a games room and a party room.
