Hartwell House Hotel

Hartwell House has a remarkable history stretching back almost a thousand years. It was mentioned in the 11th century Domesday Book as the property of William Peverel, a natural son of William the Conqueror.

The present house, which is Grade 1 listed, dates from the early 17th century and has both Jacobean and Georgian facades. It was built for the Hampden and Lee families (ancestors of General Robert E. Lee). The creation of Hartwell House and its grounds have involved many distinguished architects including James Gibbs, Henry Keene, James Wyatt, and the park was landscaped by Richard Woods, a well-known follower of Capability Brown.

Hartwell House is a magnificent stately home standing in 90 acres of landscaped parkland. It has 46 bedrooms and suites and several elegant and spacious reception rooms with outstanding decorative ceilings and panelling, antique furniture and fine paintings. It is set in rural countryside yet is only one hour from central London or Heathrow Airport and is an ideal place for a few days relaxation.
