I "revisit" it often, and each time - - it's a real joy to do so. Thank you for creating/providing it. ### 5/5 — WoW! A MUST SEE, BEAUTIFUL ! *2017-03-06, version 1.4* Thank you so much for allowing the public to view this fabulous property via this app. What a wonderful way to see inside the house which takes my breath away. For 8 years I was the Custodian of & lived at GB Shaw's home Shaw's Corner so I know all about conserving historic houses. You certainly have a property to be proud of. ### 5/5 — One of the best apps ever produced *2015-10-30, version 1.4* I am not kidding when I say this, this is one of the most beautiful apps ever created. This is the only app that I've come across that makes one feel as if they are virtually there, experiencing a beautiful mansion and works of art. The closest to traveling without having to actually be there. Amazing that it's the only app of its kind out there, really. ### 5/5 — Fantastic *2015-04-03, version 1.4* Also makes a wonderful souvenir of our visit. So good to be able to revisit the rooms whenever I want ### 5/5 — Review *2014-06-13, version 1.4* Wonderful!! ### 5/5 — Spectacular! *2014-06-13, version 1.4* This app is beautifully produced and photographed. It is indeed a delight to enjoy each room that is presented at one's leisure and take a virtual tour of everything in each room, including the ceiling, in all its' consummate glory. I wish more stately British mansions would open their homes to this viewing idea and allow us to view their impressive collections from the comfort of our own homes. Take this app as a rich jewel and add it to your own collection of guilty little pleasures. You will not be disappointed. ### 5/5 — Fantastic app! *2014-05-17, version 1.4* Invaluable application, memorialising a wonderful time in the history of Houghton Hall. ### 5/5 — Brilliant App *2013-11-09, version 1.4* This App is outstanding. Invaluable during our visit to Houghton enabling a close look at pictures hung too high up in the rooms for close examination. Very surprised we only saw one other person using the App on an iPhone. Our iPad version was much admired by other visitors. Well done to the makers. ### 5/5 — Excellent *2013-10-06, version 1.3* A beautiful app, very easy to use. I am not a techno savvy person but I found this really easy to use. Very informative and now I am definitely going to the exhibition. I wish more museums would do this. ### 5/5 — Houghton revisited *2013-10-02, version 1.3* Wonderful App, beautiful HD images and seamless panning around the interiors of this stately building. A great preview for our visit. I would love the App, to develop further and show some of the grounds, which are said to be really fantastic. ## Frequently asked questions about Houghton Revisited ### What is Houghton Revisited?
