About Priors Marston

Fine historic house
Setting:
Serene conservation village
Sleeps:
8
More than 400 years old, this lovingly restored property oozes luxury and character. All rooms, from the guest bedrooms to the library, and from the snug to the drawing room, are an exercise in elegance, character and style and the owners have gone to enormous lengths to make sure that guests have every conceivable comfort: to the extent that you are treated like a family friend or personal guest.
If you stay in the master suite, you can take a bath in the bathroom which was once a classroom for the vicar's school of gentlemen, and had the son of the King of Siam among its pupils!
