The House
The house was built c1753 and is set in 60 acres of garden and parkland that has been planted with trees, shrubs and rhododendrons over the generations.
It was originally the home of Betty Harvie Anderson, the Conservative MP for East Renfrewshire between 1959 & 1979 and who was the first woman deputy speaker of parliament.
Amongst her guests to Quarter during this time was the then up and coming future Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher.
On retirement Betty was given a life peerage and took the title Baroness Skrimshire of Quarter. |
You can still walk through the gardens of Quarter which Baroness Thatcher did, taking in the wonderful views and peaceful location enjoyed by our guests today.
In the evening
you can sit in the lovely comfortable sitting room relax,
read or watch the television. In the winter there is a wonderful
log fire that heats up the room. |
Breakfast is served in the lovely
Dinning Room with its original plasterwork on the ceiling
and wood panelling on the walls.
It will be served between 8 a.m.
and 9 a.m. If you would like it at any other time or if you
have a special diet please ask Pippa.
