The Blue Bedroom


The Blue Bedroom provides a fine example of an early Victorian bedroom. Like the Boudoir it forms part of an apartment with two adjoining dressing rooms. The principle bedrooms, used by family and honoured guests, were on this floor. Bedrooms on the upper floor were also used for guests and for children, while the servants slept in the basement.
