It's based in Castle Hill House, a Grade II listed building dating back to the 1600s, with gardens, a wooded motte and a sensory garden to explore, plus an on-site cafe. It suits families and anyone curious about local history, and entry is free. Located in Buckinghamshire, it's just 0.2 miles from High Wycombe station, and with 24 bookable places to stay within 5 miles, it makes an easy addition to a short break in the area.
