Our stunning glass orangery and manicured lawn are a creative salute to the theatrical entertainment style of the Gatsby era. Surrounded by nature within the tranquil gardens, the elegant Orangery is the perfect space to enjoy a quintessentially British afternoon tea with your mum.

The Long Room
The Long Room at the heart of the 1920s mansion blends opulent country house tradition with the exotic tastes of former owner Sir Philip Sassoon, who commissioned its striking hand-painted animal murals. The views over the western terrace into the lush gardens provide the perfect backdrop for your decadent afternoon tea experience.
