Customer Reviews
Fantastic
A wealth of interesting information and anecdotes about all things to do with country houses
Some interesting facts
Overall very interesting with a mix of knowledge and opinion. Some episodes feel slightly under-rehearsed and/or considered before recording, eg. Geoff(?) uses many a stumbling “um” and “er” which can be rather off putting.
My new favourite podcast
I discovered the country house podcast at the start of January through a TikTok I saw of Conor’s and have been hooked every since. Very well made podcast with a wealth of knowledge coming from Conor, Geoff and Ben that shows an incredible insights to all aspects of country estates and houses. Throughly enjoy listening and I’m extremely looking forward to hearing more episodes in future.
