English oak furnishings perch alongside rugs made of rushes from the River Ouse. 🌿A biodynamic farm provides fresh produce and honey for chef Skye Gyngell to work her Michelin-starred magic, as well as herbs for healing treatments in the Bothy by Wildsmith.

Think crackling fireplaces, candlelit dinners, sweeping estate views, and a serene and seamless fusion of elegance and eco-consciousness.

As a Partner, our travelers naturally receive priority upgrade, daily breakfast, hotel credit, elevated treatment, and more.
