There’s a choice of 26 luxury bedrooms at the venue sleeping up to 64 guests with each one boasting a bespoke design within an elegant historical setting, from the unique Grade II listed Granary, sat proudly on its staddle stones, to the fairytale-inspired Dovecote and a Honeymoon Suite featuring the largest bed in Berkshire.
