About
THE SPACE
This truly unique traditional country mansion is located in Cranborne, which has been designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), and is one of the most charming villages in the heart of the Dorset countryside. The luxuriously appointed accommodation for up to 26 guests and the considerable grounds make it an ideal venue to host an upmarket extended family holiday or special occasion.
The 11 bedrooms with en suites are all decorated differently, each with their own individual charm. The communal areas of the house are a feast for the eyes, with eclectic decor, sumptuous furnishings and kooky touches throughout. The large commercial kitchen is next to the main dining room and equipped with everything required for a delicious spread to be knocked up – either by guests, a private chef or a team of caterers that we can arrange for you.
Between the grand reception area, delightful drawing room, bright sitting room, cosy snug and luxury garden loggia, there’s a plethora of choices when it comes to sitting, reading, relaxing and chatting with loved ones. Not to mention the two bars (one with a piano), billiard room, children’s playroom and other sociable nooks of the house. A joyful, memorable time will be had by all.
