The Customer
The Burghley Estate is one of the largest, grandest houses of the first Elizabethan Age. Significantly, this is run by the Burghley House Preservation Trust Limited as a charity since 1969, making the project all the more special. The house raises income from charging an admission fee to visitors, running events and also other commercial activities at the House. In view of this, the house has proved itself as a rather successful attraction.

The Dairy has been designed as a comfortable and adaptable living space, a refreshing modern twist on an authentic country house atmosphere.
