A real life ghost story… Happy Halloween ! 🎃
Steeped in history since 1180, this building has many a story to tell with multiple regular sightings of ghosts, murmurings of strange noises and unexplained activity.

The most popular and reoccurring ghost story is that of the monk. The “Priory Ghost” is said to have been spotted originally by the governess to the Lee family who previously lived in the building during its residential status.

She was given the “blue room” in the Old House to reside in (now arguably our most popular room), which overlooks the gardens. It’s said she spotted a ghostly figure several times during her stay.

The figure, who was a monk, was described as looking “serene and happy,” although she ultimately moved out and the family never occupied that room again.

We do! Come and stay in room 22 👻

The sightings continue…
