We found Hellens a great place to visit very unlike many other stately homes. The house itself is eccentric and has lots of items from a long history. The guide was excellent interesting and querky like the house itself. The range if paintings was stunning in such a small house. We didn't have anything in the tea room but it... More

Four of us visted on Easter Sunday. Had tea and cakes in front of a blazing log fire before going on the tour of the house. The tour lasted about an hour and Donna, our guide, gave us an interesting talk about the history of Hellens and its various owners through the ages.

Visited here in the summer and went on the tour of the house - what an amazing building! Lots of history and a great place for a trip out. Garden pretty fantastic too - will be going again!

not the best house/home visited this holiday may be i'm being harsh but we were guided round by a volunteer who was still learning the history so had to keep refering to her notes but the place was ok.

I liked the way it felt lived in - as parts of it still are. The guide made it interesting and tea and cake in the garden made an ideal finish to the trip.

You get a real sense of history as you are guided round this very old manor house. It is amazing how it is still standing and yet being used for all sorts of events including the owner entertianing guests there some times.

We would never have found this place if it wasn't for our B&B landlady! This was the highlight of our weekend in the area. The tour guide was brilliant, young and full of enthusiasm. An hour+ passed so quickly that it seemed like we had only just started! We were on the last tour of the day 20/05/2012. I can't... More
