I did take quite a few more, of the house and grounds but you get the general look of this wonderful Hotel.

It was a nuisance. An adventure was one thing - but an adventure without anything to eat was quite another thing. That wouldn't do at all. (The Valley of Adventure)

It looks a gorgeous place, Julie. Did you tap/press the wooden panelling in search of a secret passage? :wink:

I was tempted, Anita! :lol:

I kept trying to visualize where Anne was hiding before she threw the dagger into another room!

Super photos, Julie! I've been inside the house & around the grounds a few times in the past, but I never tire of seeing the place! You've inspired me to revisit the house next year when I'm down that way. :D
Did you take any of Lymington quay? :D

Nice one, Julie! I did pop over to Burley from Dorset a couple of years ago. I went inside, but I didn't have my camera with me. I'd left it back at my B & B in Swanage! Fortunately, I took some photos on a previous visit, which I've got lying around somewhere in the house! :D

Here are a few of Lymington Quay. There has been a sort of flood defence built now, which doesn't appear in the filming in the episode of Trouble.

Fabulous pictures Julie. I love the Rhinefield hotel.
