The Experience
As evening falls, and Easton Walled Gardens’ visitors leave, these 12 historic acres are yours. Enjoy the turf maze, the vegetable garden, the orchards, the roses, the snowdrops in February and the sweet peas in July – 50 varieties! You can even chat with the gardeners.
The old coach house, alongside the entrance, holds three new apartments upstairs. The largest is the Hay Loft (with a huge vaulted ceiling and stylish white beams) and the smallest is Coach House 2, in the middle. All are open-plan and ideal for two, with fold-away kitchenettes and beds dressed in fine linen.
On summer mornings you can bask in the sun in the stable courtyard below or get sporty on Rutland Water. Eat brilliantly at the Olive Branch in Clipsham, or at the Cholmeley Arms, a three-mile drive.

A lovely stay in the hayloft to celebrate my husbands 70th birthday, plenty of space for 2 of us, the loft has been renovated to a high standard, very comfortable. Having the freedom to wander round the gardens out of hours was the highlight for me, even in September there was plenty to see. We ate our evening meal in the local pub, good quality and value. The kitchen in the cupboard was enough for making the other meals.

We stayed with our small dog in the Garden Loft Appartment No 2. It was perfect, very comfortable….everything had been cleverly thought out. It was all of a very high standard from the bedding to the mini kitchen. So tasteful…complete with a welcome basket of food & milk & fresh flowers from the gardens. The only downside was the loft was very hot. It was 26 degrees outside! A fan was provided which helped, admittedly the heat outside was probably exceptional. The gardens are simply beautiful, fabulous flowers, we walked in them in the evening & both times we were the only people there…

A lovely stay in the magical space at Easton Walled Gardens. How incredibly special to walk around and explore the gardens after they are closed. Really comfy beds, ideal furnishings and everything we needed in the compact kitchen as we were eating out.

I can highly recommend to stay at Easton Estate. It is such a lovely place to relax. Everything is very tasteful, it is thought about everything one needs to make it a perfect holiday. There is a great attention to detail to make the guests feel so welcome. Very clean, wonderful bed linen and towels, you can turn the heat up and down however you feel. And you can visit the wonderful garden as often as you like while your stay. And the courtyard shop is lovely, too. Wonderful place!

What a delightful studio room with absolutely everything you could possibly want for a few days away. Super clean and tidy with a surprise cream tea waiting for us tired travellers. So nice too, to be able to access the gardens...and the coffee shop.

The Hay Loft was such a beautiful apartment. Everything was top quality, brilliantly thought out and spotlessly clean. The little touches like fresh flowers on the windowsill and a delicious gluten free cake were really thoughtful too. It was so lovely to be able to wander around the gardens early in the morning and have them all to ourselves, so quiet and peaceful. It really felt like such a special place to stay.

We had the most wonderful stay in The Hayloft. It is beautifully appointed with, literally, everything you could possibly need. We were blessed with fabulously warm and sunny weather so could take full advantage of visiting the garden. We plan to go back in the winter months as we believe the loft will be wonderfully cosy and a great place to 'hunker down'. Cannot recommend it highly enough.

Wonderful stay at this hidden treasure. The room was superbly equipped, spotlessly clean and fabulous value for money. A lovely little welcome pack was also included, thank you. Having the beautiful gardens to yourself once the day visitors have gone home and again before they arrive the following morning really is the icing on the cake. We hope to be back sooner rather than later.

The apartment we stayed in (coach house loft 1)was really well planned out and was clean, warm and comfortable. The flowers in the room were a nice touch and the scones were a lovely welcome. The larder kitchen has everything you need. The bathroom was warm and spacious with thick fluffy towels. The bed was really comfortable. It was great to be able to walk around the gardens in the evening with the place to ourselves. Everything was so peaceful. It was a shame to go back to "real life" after our stay!

The Coach House Loft 1 was very well equipped and had everything we needed for a very comfortable and cosy overnight stay. We were made to feel very welcome, and we particularly enjoyed the opportunity to explore the beautiful gardens outside of the normal opening hours. This was our second visit, and we look forward to returning again in the coming months.

The entire Easton Walled Gardens experience was an absolute joy from start to finish. We felt as though we had been transported to a magical Christmas world. The accommodation was warm, charming and welcoming. Quite frankly I could happily live in the Hayloft for the rest of my life. The welcoming scones, jam, cream were delicious!! We also enjoyed delicious tea and cake in the coffee shop and spent ages wandering around the Christmas shop. Oh, nearly forgot the gardens in which we had a lovely walk. The whole experience was perfect in every way!!

The Coach House Loft 2 is immaculately presented to a very high standard and is extremely comfortable. I stayed for 4 nights and was travelling alone. The kitchenette is very clever and everything is there but space is at a premium so to prepare anything more than a light meal for 2 people might be a challenge. The location is perfect and very beautiful. It is worth noting that it is necessary to drive to pubs, restaurants and shops.

I stayed at the Coach House Lofts at Easton Walled Gardens with 2 friends. We were very impressed with the lofts which were very comfortable and well-appointed for an overnight stay. Two of us have visited Easton Walled Gardens on multiple occasions but it was a wonderful experience to be able to walk in the gardens which we had all to ourselves in the evening. The booking and key collection arrangements were very straightforward and the staff in the Courtyard shop the next morning were very helpful and friendly Altogether a great stay and fully recommended.

Wonderful! I think having bathrobes as you get if you book May Lodge or the Gate House should be included.

Location
The neighbourhood
The gardens themselves are a major draw but also reachable within 30 minutes are stately homes such as 16th-century Burghley House and Gardens, and Belvoir Castle, home of the 11th Duke of Rutland. Antique hunters will head for the handsome market towns of Uppingham and Stamford, while Rutland Water (15 miles) is a haven for ornithologists, cyclists and sailors... and well-heeled foodies, thanks to Hambleton Hall.
Local points of interest from Sir Fred Cholmeley
- The Loft Apartments are in Easton Walled Gardens, the gardens of the former Easton Hall which have been lovingly brought back to life by the Cholmeley family. Guests have free, unlimited access to the Gardens during their stay.
- The Lofts are on the Easton Estate, owned by the Cholmeley Family since 1561. The Estate's pub, the Cholmeley Arms, is just over 3 miles away and serves the most delicious food.
- The lovely market towns of Stamford and Oakham are within easy driving distance, as is Rutland Water. See Our Local Guide on our website for more things to do and see when staying with us.
- We are an easy drive from many parts of the UK - just over 100 miles from each of London, Cheltenham, , Manchester and York
- FD Roosevelt (32nd President of the United States) and his wife, Eleanor, spent their honeymoon at Easton Hall, as guests of the Cholmeley Family.
- Sir Isaac Newton was born just across the road at Woolsthorpe Manor, now a National Trust property and open to the public.

Introducing
Sir Fred Cholmeley
Generations of Cholmeleys have managed The Easton Estate in Lincolnshire since 1561. Sir Fred and his wife, keen to introduce guests to the beauty and tranquillity of country life, have been running their Walled Gardens as a visitor attraction since the early 2000s. They live on The Easton Estate, and have holidayed in their Norfolk Yellow House since 2004 too.
Our third residential stop at Easton Gardens accom, sampling May Lodge, Gate House, and now this one Coach House loft (2). Very pleased as always, masses of attention to detail both in the ultra-tasteful design features and the personalised welcome for guests. The space is 'cosy' but expertly thought-out to make it feel relaxing. Although there is a faint hum outside from the A1, the grounds, in which guests have free range, have a timelessness that helps you switch off and unwind. And the courtyard shop and cafe are a delight to add to it.
