The historic Grade Ii* listed building will be the ultimate luxury hotel and wellness retreat, set in 38 acres of private grounds, complete with a lake, English-heritage listed ornamental Japanese gardens and formal gardens with fountain. A perfect haven uniquely combining vibrancy and serenity, fun and relaxation sophistication and country charm.
