Looks like a very uncosy place to grow up: dark rooms with tall ceilings and gruesome battle scenes. I'd sooner live in a council house.

Blenheim is not to everyone's taste.

Alexander Pope famously remarked after seeing Blenheim

'Thanks, sir, cried I, tis very fine,
but where do you sleep or where d'ye dine?
I find by all you have been telling,
that 'tis a house but not a dwelling'

Grand houses at that time were seldom designed with comfort in mind; they were designed to impress, even to overwhelm visitors.
