  We have been meaning to visit here for sometime. Glad we finally made it, it was a quiet day, we felt like we had the house to ourselves, only spotted one other family late during our visit. It's a wee bit of the beaten track, hard to think you're in the middle of bustling Newmarket. Enjoying wandering around the house trying to imagine what it would have been to live there in those times. My favourite area was The Boy's Barrack's at the top of the house, even the Playroom was cool. But as the signage informs you, it was warm during the Summer, but cold during the Winter. Well worth a visit !

  A wonderful experience seeing an original homestead, hidden right in the middle of the city...you feel like you go back in time. ...and escape the modern busy city.

  A house I could live in now, it had a lovely atmosphere. It must have been a very comfortable home in its day. Loved the timber walls inside.

  A Beautiful Bungalow surrounded by a still more beautiful garden, maintained so very well. I was mesmerized by the enormity of the place and it is really amazing that one family lived here with all their children. It is amazing to see how they have pumped their water up.And also a word of appreciation for the Trust who have dedicated a bench in memory of Sandy Kittson, who worked at the property. A great gesture indeed.

  Absolutely beautiful home with friendly knowledgeable staff (particularly the lady with the bright hair!). Highwic is currently decorated for Christmas and has a Christmas store inside that was adorable.
