If you’re staying at Easton before the 11th March you’ll be able to see this exhibition. It’s, quite simply, amazing.

Such a wonderful day today! We hosted a special preview of our botanical art exhibition, ‘A Year in the Garden’. It was great to see guests enjoying (and purchasing) the amazing botanical paintings and drawings on display.
You can come and see the exhibition from 17th -25th February, open daily during Snowdrop Week and then on our usual open days from 4th- 11th March.

With thanks to Chris Davis Building Services for carving this wonderful piece of York stone, marking the site of the front door of Easton Hall.

Much excitement around the gardens today! We are busy getting ready for Snowdrop Week and the Botanical Art Exhibition.

As well as that, a very special piece of stonework has just been set into the lawn exactly where the front door to the old hall would have been.
It's a wonderful way to mark the historical importance of what once was a truly beautiful building.
Many thanks to Chris Davis Building Services for his talented carving

The pressure is on the building team - we've just taken our first booking for the Loft Apartments! All sorts of decisions need to be made, but we've got all the main ones in place - can't wait to show you all photos......

Work to the Loft Apartments at Easton Walled Gardens is coming along nicely, and we'll be welcoming our first guests in May. Perfect for overnights stays for local weddings, courses at EWG or just passing through, they'll be cosy and comfortable and you'll have full access to the Gardens.

16/01/2018

Work has now started on our lovely new Loft Apartments overlooking the Victorian Stable Yard at Easton Walled Gardens. We should be up and running by the Spring and will be taking bookings from 1st May. We’ll be decorating them in the same style as our Holiday Cottages, but they’ll be available for single nights as well as longer stays. We hope that this will appeal to guests who need a place to stay for local weddings, or to see family in the area, or maybe those who are doing one of our courses in the Gardens. As with the cottages, guests will have all hours access to the Gardens during their stay.

Come and stay on the Easton Estate this year. We've got lovely holiday cottages, great loft apartments (from the Summer) and a fantastic area to explore - not forgetting the local Pub, The Cholmeley Arms

01/01/2018

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Why not make it your resolution to came and stay with us this year? Two picture perfect cottages, with free access to Easton Walled Gardens, and seriously cosy luxury to relax in.

Wishing all of our Guests (Past, Present and Future) a wonderful and happy Christmas wherever you are.

There may or may not be snow outside - either way the Winter is a lovely time to get away for a short break and escape to one of our lovely, cosy, full heated holiday cottages. Easton Walled Gardens may be closed and a bit sleepy, but they still have a magic all of their own at this time of year - and you won't have to share them with any other visitors!

15/12/2017

New for Summer 2018! Work on our Loft Apartments at Easton Walled Gardens will be starting this winter, creating three boutique rooms overlooking the Stable Yard. Each will be self-contained with kitchen facilities and will be available to book for one night stays, or longer if you need. The Hay Loft is the largest and most luxurious; The Coach House Lofts (numbers 1&2) will be cosier and will be bookable as separate rooms, or as one apartment.

10/12/2017

Looking forward to the Spring? We're taking lots of bookings in both cottages at the moment, so don't miss out! Book before Christmas and mention this post, and your dog can stay for free!

07/12/2017

We're thrilled to have been awarded a Top Recommended Property award by Oliver's Travels for The School House - thank you to all of our staff and guests who made this possible.

24/11/2017

Why not visit Belton House during your winter break at Easton - about 20 minutes away from both cottages?

21/11/2017

Hygge at The Cholmeley Arms. Come and stay at The School House in Burton-le-Coggles and enjoy roaring (and I mean really roaring) fires at the village pub - a very short walk from your front door.

Snowdrop season is a wonderful time in Easton Walled Gardens. We have availability during Snowdrop Week (17-25 Feb 2018) in both of our cottages. Imagine enjoying these snowdrops without all the other visitors around.......

Sir Henry Cholmeley was brought up in Burton-le-Coggles and bought the Manor of Easton in 1592. His descendants remodelled the Tudor manor house and you can still stay in part of the old Easton Hall. The Gatehouse Lodge has plenty of winter availability - think warm fires and romantic walks round Easton Walled Gardens

10/11/2017

Although Easton Walled Gardens is now closed for the winter, don't forget that all cottage guests still get free access to the gardens during their stay.

07/11/2017

Summer may be over, Autumn nearly just a memory and Winter around the corner with nights drawing in, but our cottages are gorgeous and cosy, with lovely woodburners, proper heating, snug beds and lots still to do outside - Easton Walled Gardens is closed to day visitors, but it's all yours for the duration of your stay.

29/10/2017

Dogs are welcome in both of our cottages. With plenty of footpaths and free access to Easton Walled Gardens, they'll be worn out and happy to lie quietly by the woodburning stoves in the cottages at the end of an Autumn day out, while you enjoy the peace and comfort of an English Country cottage.

27/10/2017

Autumn is well and truly with us, and the cottages are feeling lovely and snug, with woodburning stoves and loads of free wood, as well as cosy sitting rooms to settle into for the evening now that the nights are drawing in.

19/10/2017

There are so many places nearby to go on lovely Autumn walks, from footpaths on the Estate to walking round Rutland Water. After you've done that, you can come back to our cosy cottages, light the fire and curl up with a glass of wine and a good book

17/10/2017

Comfy Super King Sized beds are found in both of the cottages - for the perfect, peaceful night's sleep after a day of exploring the lovely local area.

14/10/2017

The old Roman road, Ermine Street, passes through the Estate, very close to the village of Easton. A slightly better road now, though, giving easy access off the A1 to our cottages.

12/10/2017

We're very excited by the arrival of our new brochure - available now at Easton Walled Gardens

09/10/2017

Autumn evenings in one of our cosy cottages, anyone? Both have woodburning stoves with unlimited logs gathered especially for our guests from the woodlands on the Estate. An afternoon walk around Easton Walled Gardens followed by a lovely meal at The Cholmeley Arms and back to the cottage to curl up in front of the fire. What are you waiting for?!

04/10/2017

Many of our guests have discovered the lovely The Olive Branch and Beech House at Clipsham, just a few minutes' drive down the A1 from Easton, and have recommended it as a great place to eat with great staff, food and atmosphere. Why not try it when you come and stay with us?

02/10/2017

Morning All! It's a lovely day here, with the colours of the trees just turning. Thanks to everyone for the great support our cottages are getting, and we've had another super season of welcoming guests and sharing Easton Walled Gardens and the Estate. Now that Autumn's here things are easing off a bit, but we still have guests arriving to make the most of these cosy cottages in the winter months - woodburning stoves, central heating and snug beds - what more do you need?

This is a postcard from the early 20th Century, which shows the village cross in Easton, with the Gatehouse Lodge and the entrance to Easton Walled Gardens in the background - a view that's hardly changed over the last 100 years.

All our guests have free "out of hours" access to Easton Walled Gardens- these are some recent comments from the visitor's book there.

Such a beautiful day.
Sometimes we have to pinch ourselves to make sure we really are lucky enough to call this our place of work!
Then we look in our comments book and see how much our visitors enjoy it here too :-)

Newton's Trail covers lots of local villages - two of which are home to our holiday cottages. Come and explore😃

Burton-le-Coggles has a very old and very pretty Grade I listed Church. On your right as you head for The Cholmeley Arms from The School House, it's worth popping your head round the door and having a look. Better still, buy a lasagne at the Pub and you'll be donating to its upkeep 😉

22/09/2017

Just a few minutes' walk down the quiet village street from The School House is The Cholmeley Arms, at the heart of the pretty Conservation Area which covers most of Burton-le-Coggles.

21/09/2017

Another lovely review. We're not making them up, either. Come and see for yourself!
