About The Dell House

The Dell House offers B&B and self-catering accommodation. Since 2014 the current owners have been clearing the badly overgrown sections, exposing and restoring old paths and opening up previously inaccessible areas, adding a level paved terrace and paths and a range of thrilling tree carvings. A 16mm-scale garden railway has been created around the area originally used as a croquet lawn.

The Dell House has been many things in its 200-year history: a rectory, a healing centre, a hostel for infirm children and a hotel as well as being a private home. It is affiliated to the Quiet Garden Movement.
