Hampton Manor, Warwickshire

Hampton Manor

Hampton Manor, which is set in 45 acres, in the heart of England, will reopen in July.

 

It was built in 1855, in the time of William Morris and the Arts and Crafts era, which is heavily visual throughout the property. 

It was also the former estate of Prime Minister, Sir Robert Peel, a labour of love for his son, Sir Fredrick Peel. 

The Michelin-starred destination will accommodate a maximum of 38 overnight residents on the estate at one time. 

The Manor’s two-night foodie break includes daily dinner, bed and breakfast and a wine tasting on one day. 

On the first night, guests will dine in the Smokehouse located within the grounds amongst the firepits and candlelit greenhouses and on the second in the Manor at Michelin-starred Peel’s Restaurant.

Social distancing will be ensured throughout. 

The glass-roofed courtyard has been transformed into a space filled with light and decked in seasonal blooms and foliage inspired and designed on ‘The Strawberry Thief’ by William Morris. 

The Summer House opens out onto a private terrace serving traditional cream teas throughout the afternoon and all-day Nyetimber by the glass. 

During the stay, all guests are invited to meet owners James and Fjona for a complimentary wine tasting and a guided tour of the Walled Garden which supplies the restaurant, all produce is organically grown.

The Manor’s walled garden was completed in 1891, from designs by Thomas Mawson, the first President of the Landscape Institute. 

Peel’s Restaurant won a Michelin-star, Michelin’s Welcome and Service Award, and Four AA-Rosettes in 2016. 

Peel’s is home to simple British dishes cooked using seasonal ingredients and modern cooking techniques under Head Chef Rob Palmer. 

The wine list, which covers the ‘old’ and ‘new’ worlds, has been recognised by the AA winning AA Wine Award England 2019-20 and AA Wine Award Overall 2019-20. 

Peel’s has been laid out according to government spacing guidelines between tables. The 45 acres of gardens enable alfresco dining or as a starting point before a longer walk. 

The four-bedroom Manor Cottage, which overlooks the Walled Garden has its own lounge, a kitchen with an aga, sunroom and dining room in addition to four ensuite bedrooms.
