Iscoyd Park: Sunday Times best place to party

Inheriting a country estate sounds like one of the most ridiculous privileges that could be bestowed upon a 30-something in modern Britain.

The restoration has been […]

The Sunday Times features the Iscoyd story

The house: It is rare that you walk into a stranger’s house and immediately feel at home. Even rarer when that home is an 18th-century Grade II-listed Georgian pile set in 750 acres of beautiful Welsh parkland. Iscoyd Park has undergone a remarkable transformation in recent years, changing from a crumbling stately home that looked only […]
