The Wilderness

Guests can lose themselves in the charm of The Wilderness - an imposing limestone country house, with short gabled wings, mullioned windows with hoodmoulds (as described in Pevsner's 'The Buildings of England') and surrounded by enchanting grounds.

From the stone-flagged entrance hall and inviting pale blue drawing room, to the bright dining room with high ceiling and huge windows - rooms are beautifully decorated in quintessential country house style. The elegant Rose bedroom and the fresh, floral Yellow bedroom with huge French armoire, both have super king size beds and private bathrooms. Guests can wander along pergola walkways with scented rose filled borders either side, to discover a croquet lawn, a peaceful orchard and an ancient folly. The garden is a haven for birds with woodpeckers pottering and swooping throughout the day.
