Walking through the gardens is like taking a horticultural history tour
The delightful 12-acres that surround this Grade II* 16th-century stately home are the icing on what is already a very special cake, winning the Hall a coveted spot in The Times' top places to stay with great gardens. Walk down the herbaceous borders planned out by Princess Mary, wander through the woodland walk, visit the stunning glasshouse and kitchen garden before a stroll up the Lime Tree Walk, planted by royalty in the 1920s. The gardens have been awarded the coveted title of Best Business/Tourism 2024 by Yorkshire in Bloom.
