The coldest place I’ve ever stayed bar one . And that was also a Landmark
Amazing #TixallGatehouse built 1570s. Mary Queen of Scots briefly imprisoned here as her lodgings were ransacked for incriminating evidence. Poor thing,thought she was off for a day's hunting. Now having a major refurb to make top floor a kitchen/sitting room & a GSHP put in.
