Every season holds
a different stay.
Stone floors worn smooth by generations. Fires lit before you arrive. Gardens that change the menu.
Hearthside suppers.
Candlelit stone.
The house is at its most itself in winter. Fires are lit at three. The kitchen produces things with bones and cream and time. Bedrooms are piled with wool blankets. Outside, the garden sleeps under frost and the silence is absolute.

Kitchen garden
just waking up.
The gardeners plant before the guests are awake. By April the kitchen garden is producing things that appear on the table the same afternoon. Blossom on the apple trees. Mornings cold enough for a fire, afternoons warm enough for the terrace.

Croquet lawns.
Open-air evenings.
The linen canopies go up in June. Dinner moves outside. The croquet lawn is mown every other morning. Long evenings with a glass and nowhere particular to be. The house is its most social — and its most unhurried — in summer.

- —Two dinners on the terrace
- —Croquet and lawn games, all day
- —Picnic hamper for the grounds

Foraging walks.
Copper-leaf drives.
October is the best-kept secret. The estate turns amber and the chef goes into the woods. Breakfast is served later. The wine list deepens. There is a particular quality of afternoon light in late October that guests have been known to photograph for years.
The Autumn Forage
September – November 2026
- —Two nights in a woodland-view room
- —Guided foraging walk with the chef
- —Foraged dinner, one evening

The house holds
whatever you bring.
Two people. One perfect house.
Champagne in the bath, breakfast whenever you like, and a table by the fire that feels like it was set just for you. Anniversary stays include in-room flowers, a tasting menu for two, and a late checkout that turns Sunday into something rare.
Impress without trying.
Exclusive hire for 8–24 guests. Boardroom morning, estate walk afternoon, wine cellar evening. The house does the work — you take the credit. Broadband that actually works and a chef who understands the 6am start.
Photographs like a film set. Feels like a family home.
The house has been hosting weddings since before photographs existed. The walled garden holds 120 for ceremony. The great hall, 80 for dinner. The morning-after breakfast is often the thing guests remember longest.
What stays with our guests.
"We came for our anniversary and left having decided to come back for our tenth. The fire was lit when we arrived. The flowers were from the garden. Nothing felt arranged — it just felt right."
Catherine & James Whitfield
Anniversary Stay, October 2025
"I've organised twelve off-sites in the last five years. This was the first time nobody checked their phone before lunch. The house does something to people."

Executive Retreat, March 2025 · Head of Strategy, Meridian Partners
"Our photographer said it was the easiest wedding she'd ever shot. Every corner is a frame. Our guests still talk about the breakfast the morning after."
