BEYOND Downton Abbey
Juliet can show you a good time by giving you our free guide to experienced caterers, food suppliers, local eateries and gastro pubs. Whether it’s “home from home” cooking or an Afternoon Tea Party or a BBQ in the walled gardens, you can rest assured that you’ll find the ideal food and drink for your stay…
After your arrival, your guests have no excuses to be late for pre-dinner drinks in the bar room as there are lots of beautiful bedrooms and ensuite bathrooms to get dressed up in. Set the mood for your stay by using our handy wall hooks to theme the rooms by hanging your party decorations.
Whether you self-cater in the well equipped kitchen or hire a Michelin chef, eating in the elegant dining room has a touch of The Ritz about it so you can relax safe in the knowledge that your friends and family will feel special too.
Retire to the Sitting Room to play games and catch up on the news or head for a night cap in the Bar Room (BYO). Wherever you find yourselves, you can listen to your favourite play list through the multi room music system – so everyone feels a part of the evening’s events…
