OddfellowsEccentric Gothic mansion
This restored Victorian manor trades country-house formality for offbeat humor, placing eccentric contemporary art under original carved ceilings.
What it’s good at
What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
its interiors mix period details with elegant modern design and plenty of quirky, light-hearted visual fun.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Bruntwood Park surrounds the grounds with duck ponds, Victorian woodland trails, and a community BMX track.
The rooms
Playground Suites have freestanding roll-top baths and four-poster beds. High above, the Bridle Suite occupies the hall's original Victorian tower.
The spa
The spa occupies a former outbuilding, with two treatment rooms and a heated rasul mud chamber.
Restaurant
The Galloping Major
The restaurant fills the hall's Victorian ballroom, serving modern British cooking beneath elaborate plasterwork ceilings.
The Stud Bar
Cocktails are poured under carved 1861 thistle ceilings, and doors open out onto the park terrace.
At the table
Parquet floors and tufted ottomans furnish the lounge, where afternoon tea is served by day.
How it began
The restaurant and bar recall the hall's second owner, a major who ran an equestrian stud farm across the estate.
