Pilgrims Manor

Welcome to authenticity

This stunning Grade I listed Jacobean manor house positioned on historically-significant grounds is surrounded by 100 acres of land and features a 17th century coach house. Recently refurbished to high standards, Pilgrim’s Manor successfully retains its authenticity, reflected in many unique features throughout the property.

A tradition rooted in the grounds

A long private tree-lined drive leads up to an impressive stone façade and an estate that holds many wonderful treasures throughout its grounds, waiting to be explored. One feature of particular interest is the walled garden bordered by the remarkable “Llettae” - small shelters which were built specifically for the comfort of poor travellers - a modest expression of hospitality from the ancestors’ of the current property owners.

A roomful of history

Take delight in the tranquil and welcoming rooms that welcome you upon entry. In the drawing room guests are greeted with 17th century wood panelling, original family portraits adorning the walls and a large open fire. The ground floor also features a bright and airy morning room which caters to all seasons; doors leading out to the garden for the breezy summer days and a large open hearth for the cold winter evenings.

The cosy kitchen features a charming, long-standing breakfast table and is fully equipped to modern standards, including an Aga cooker. You can enjoy sumptuous meals in the exquisite dining room which, with its antique table and elaborate candlesticks, is truly a credit to the manor’s long-standing and dedicated housekeeper.

The top 2 floors of the property house 7 delightful bedrooms, most of which include an en-suite. With 6 individual bathrooms and bedrooms that range from country-style designs to ornate grand four-poster beds, guests are indeed spoilt for choice. For those lazy afternoons and informal family gatherings, Pilgrim’s Manor also boasts a stunning attic TV room with antique wooden ceiling beams and a large flat screen TV/DVD with SKY services.
