The Experience
Such elegance is rare, so come to feel embraced by a gentler age. The front of the house faces open countryside, you swoop around to the back and enter into the roomy kitchen. Find an electric range cooker, a huge fridge, a slow cooker and enough glasses and china to hold a dinner party. You eat at a long oak table in the dining room with an enormous open fire and comfy seating.
On the first floor is the beautiful panelled drawing room, flooded with light from five floor-to-ceiling windows and with a games table, gorgeous old rug, another open fire and a series of pen and ink sketches depicting countryside scenes. On warm days you can fling open the door and descend the stone steps to the garden, pretending to be Elizabeth Bennet.
Two antique-filled bedrooms are on this floor and another is even further up with painted chinoiserie and stunning views. Eat outdoors surrounded by clipped hedges and birdsong, relishing the peace.

We think you'll love
- Every little detail of the architecture outdoors and the furniture and pictures indoors

- Picnics in front of the house on sunny days, feeling very lucky to be surrounded by such lovely countryside
You should know
- There are wonky floorboards, some steep steps and nothing is very level which might be tricky for some

Exceptional house! What a treat, the pictures do it no justice. The house has everything you need and is lovely and warm with two fabulous fireplaces for cold days.

Come to savour a life more refined and a gentler age. A delightfully elegant house – spill out into the gardens on sunny days and admire it from the outside, hunker down with two huge open fireplaces on foul days and gaze at the history within.

Introducing
The Badminton Estate
Swangrove House sits on the edge of the Badminton Estate, a couple of miles from Badminton village. The estate has been home to the Duke and Duchess of Beaufort since 1682 and they host many outdoor events including the famous Badminton Horse Trials.
What a pleasure to enjoy another relaxing stay at Swangrove House, we always look forward to the space, open fires and the peace and quiet. The beautifully decorated drawing room is an absolute delight. Plenty to do locally for those that wish to explore the area, although we are often happy not to leave the house as it’s so comfortable and in a word, fabulous!
