Getting Here

Rooms and gardens by Lutyens, a mention in the Domesday book, and the home of the Gunpowder Plot – remember, remember, that The Manor House is certainly not short on history. It is also not short on charm, comfort and the mod cons that we have come to expect when hiring a private house (wave goodbye to wearing jumpers and socks in bed during the winter, it’s toasty warm). Ideal for a family staycation, the sprawling golden house is happily settled in 30 acres of glorious gardens including a lake and magnificent walled garden. This is children’s paradise: a former medieval kitchen turned playroom – complete with pirate shack – heated outdoor pool, tennis court, bridge for pooh sticks and enough space for nannies, grannies and everyone in between. The interiors might not be what you’d expect: an eclectic, clever curation of the classic and contemporary overseen by the owners. Steeped in history yet with a firm foot in the world of luxury private house hire, you will struggle to find a more interesting venue. If only walls could talk…

Did you know that we also offer a free concierge service and can arrange for a private chef, tennis coaching, fitness (PT or Pilates), Beauty therapy or a range of masseuses to come to the house at an additional cost.
