| History positively exudes from the ancient walls of the manor, home for hundreds of years to past kings and queens, movers and shakers.
Today’s regulars include famous film-makers, photographers, actors, writers and fashion or media moguls who come for the cool spa, good food, fine wine and discreet service.
Kick back in front of the open fire in the bar in winter or on the terrace in summer and drift away for a while…
Energise, uplift, restore and feel the energy flow through your body in the sauna, steam room and hydrotherapy pool. Escape with a massage in your own cabin in the woods on the edge of the grounds. Dip into the indoor swimming pool and feel the force of the counter-current swim trainer and hydrotherapy jet or invigorate with a session in the gym. Breathe in the sea air on the all-weather floodlit tennis court, on the croquet lawn, boules court, or on the clay shooting range.
