An elegant 17th-century manor house built from local Ham Hill stone that overlooks the most delightful formal garden. Visitors will not only feel like the lord and lady of the manor, they can also enjoy spectacular views over the network of garden rooms and explore its glories 'out of hours'. The four-bedroom house retains many of its original features, such as leaded windows. The kitchen is dominated by a huge Aga and a large open fire is the centrepiece of the sitting room.
Tintinhull Gardens is available as a venue for civil wedding ceremonies. They offer a picturesque setting alongside the intimate Summer House which overlooks the peaceful Pool garden.

Things to see and do nearby
- South West England
The South West region is probably England's most well-known holiday hotspot, being home to some of the most famous seaside resorts. Pretty villages and harbours in Cornwall, many with sweeping sandy beaches, such as St Ives, Polzeath and Port Isaac to name but a few, give way to sophisticated seaside resorts in Devon and Dorset which include Bournemouth, Torquay and Ilfracombe. The history of this region is unrivalled; Wiltshire's spectacular downland and the stone circles at Avebury and Stonehenge, through Hardy's Dorset, dramatic Dartmoor and gentler Exmoor, to the mining landscapes of Cornwall and West Devon, which are now recognised as being of international significance, having been awarded World Heritage Site status in 2006. The Trust protects 370 miles of the coastline in Devon and Cornwall and, wherever you are in the two far western counties, you're never more than 25 miles from the sea. As well as this peninsula, the Trust also cares for much of the countryside in Gloucestershire, Somerset, Wiltshire and Dorset and a wide array of fascinating properties to visit and explore. Not surprisingly, perhaps, this area is also home to the widest selection of National Trust holiday cottages.

The house itself and location are absolutely stunning
We spent a magical week here with a group of friends over the Christmas Break in 2007. The house itself and location are absolutely stunning. I'm still dreaming about the wonderful Aga. We cooked so many memorable meals in that wonderful kitchen. We felt very privileged to be staying here. The local Crown & Victoria pub serves wonderful food - it was simply delicious. We hope to return

It is a amazing house with a lot of history
It is a amazing house with a lot of history. We have a wonderful time there even in January 2008. The house is big enough for a family reunion and the kids enjoy running around in the garden. The housekeeper and gardeners have done a marvelous job in maintaining this house. We look forward to another family holiday with the National Trust Property
