A Comment from the Owner & Managers:
​
"We love Whitminster House and are always thrilled to have the opportunity to share its delights with others. From a filming perspective, the house is able to offer a range of attributes from period charm to Gothic horror (in certain lights, with the church tower rearing behind), but to us it has always been a warm and welcoming family home."
