Priors Marston
, Warwickshire

Enquire about this property>>
 

A fine historic house, more than 400 years old, with stunning interior oozing luxury and character. The hosts have recently restored the entire property and all rooms, from the guest bedrooms to the library, and from the snug to the drawing room, are an exercise in elegance and style. The master bathroom was once a classroom for the vicar's school of gentlemen, and had the son of the King of Siam among its pupils.

Guests can choose from a double or twin bedrooms - all with own ensuite or private bathrooms and extremely spacious. Great attention has been paid to detail, so as well as beautiful antiques to decorate your room, you will also find luggage racks, dressing gowns, fresh fruit and flowers to make you feel at home. Other rooms available for guests are the drawing room with its open fireplace, the snug with its large screen satellite television, or the library, with its collection of books.

As for breakfast, you'll be spoilt here too, as one of the owners trained at Raymond Blanc's Ecole de Cuisine at the Manoir aux Quat'Saisions. A lot of the produce is grown in the kitchen garden, and the free-range hens produce an ample supply of eggs. Gourmet dining is available in the evening. Please speak to the owners directly.
