点评:Located in the Leicestershire countryside is Stoneywell a former private residence dedicated to the arts and crafts style.
You have to book to visit the site and there are limited slots available as the property is small and allows a maximum of 10 of ten people per timed slot.
There is a car park but it is not on the site, but there is a shuttle bus to take you to the property, but it is a 5 minute walk if you prefer. However there are no pavements as they are old country lanes.
If you are a National Trust Member, you will also need to have your membership card scanned as the email you received with a barcode isn't sufficient for entry purposes.
There are some stables before the entrance, a very small tearoom and a path leading the house and woodland.
The house isn't a huge property, but it is full of interesting furniture and objects relating to the arts and crafts movement.
There are three floors in total and you can either self guide or take a tour.
The last owner is still alive and is aged 102, His children who also lived there bring him back once a year to revisit his former home.
The grounds have gardens, a wood and views of Bradgate Park. There are places for children to play and explore.
I had my usual coffee and scone in the tearoom, which I had to myself, there's also a small shop within the tearoom.

参观需提前预约,由于场地面积有限,每个时间段最多只允许10人入内,因此可预约的名额十分有限。
现场设有停车场,不过并不在房产范围内;可乘坐接驳巴士前往,如果愿意步行的话,只需5分钟即可抵达。需要注意的是,该区域为古老的乡间小路,并无人行道。如果您是国家信托基金的会员,还需要扫描您的会员卡;仅凭附有条形码的电子邮件并不足以作为入场凭证。
入口前有一些马厩,还有一家规模很小的茶室,以及一条通往主楼和林地的小径。
这座宅邸的规模并不大,但里面摆满了与工艺美术运动相关的有趣家具和物品。
整栋建筑共有三层,您可以自行参观,也可参加导览服务。最后一位房主仍然在世,今年102岁。他的子女们也曾住在那里,他们每年都会带他回到这座旧居重游。
庄园内有花园、一片树林,还能俯瞰布拉德盖特公园的景色。这里也有供孩子们玩耍和探索的空间。
我在茶室里享用了惯常的咖啡与司康饼,当时茶室里只有我一个人;茶室内还有一家小商店。
