Count Dracula's Carfax Abbey as it appears in the 1978 John Badhan directed "Dracula"
In actual fact, St Michael's Mount, a walk away from my home in Penzance, West Cornwall..

“The house was like a castle with its turrets, buttresses and matriculated towers - a landmark to sailors who would know where they were when they saw that pile of ancient stones…” MENFREYA Victoria Holt |

“We were in an enormous hall which in the past must have been used
as a banqueting room. The floor was of flagged stone, and the timbered
roof was so lofty that I felt it must extend to the top of the house…
at one end of the hall was a dais and at the back of this a great open
fireplace. On the ais stood a refectory table on which were vessels
and plates of pewter…” MISTRESS OF MELLYN Victoria Holt
