Tasteful Design - The interior of Hightor features a rich color palette of browns, gentle blues, and pristine whites.

The house’s street frontage is kept private by a well-maintained hedge. Nearby, the Convent Gallery can be found, repurposed to house gorgeous works from both local and international artists.

Loved our stay at Hightor and would definitely recommend to any larger groups. Location was great, grounds are beautiful and the house very charming. Only thing to note, if you are staying with younger children/babies, the house does not have a microwave and the bathroom in the main house does not have a bathtub- you need to use the bath in the downstairs apartment.
