The Experience

An important 16th-century turreted gatehouse –  an inspiring retreat for writers and fascinating for historians. You enter through an open corridor into the dining room with an Adam Dant mural ceiling, open log fire and oak table. The kitchen is opposite and has all the equipment you need to dazzle.

Up the original winding oak staircase to the drawing room with hand-blocked wallpaper, Elizabethan mouldings and decorated fireplace. The Thatcher suite (yes, she stayed) has an ornate canopied bed with feather bedding and a swish turreted wet room. The enormous second bedroom up another floor is filled with books, and has a four-poster bed with fabric by Melissa White. There’s a bath in the room too and a separate loo and shower. Views from here soar over the manicured topiary gardens. 

There are several other properties on the estate for larger parties and Laura can organise a candlelit three course dinner in the Hunting Lodge.

Reviews

We had the most amazing 4 night stay in the Gatehouse for my partners 70th birthday. William met us on arrival and gave us a guided tour. It took our breath away. The gorgeous oak spiral staircase and the Prince Rupert suite on the top floor, wow, it was amazing. We did not want to go home and hope to go back soon. There is lots of piping hot water and we found the heating very effective.

If I had to be locked in a tower then this is the place I’d choose! It is the perfect romantic hideaway or retreat for those in need of respite from the modern world. Sumptuous, steeped in history and yet with some delightful nods to modernity in kitchen and bathrooms. Climbing the spiral staircase is a journey in itself and arriving on the top storey will take your breath away. A rare gem, come!

David, Sawday's Inspector

We spent a very relaxing holiday at The Gatehouse at Upton Cressett - an amazing historic building surrounded by lawned gardens, with dogs and chickens wandering about. Beautifully furnished in keeping with the style of a 16th century building. Very peaceful location. William and Laura were very helpful with walks from and around the hall. We would highly recommend this property although it would not be suitable for the elderly or infirm due to the spiral staircase and uneven floors.
