The Old Manor House : Halford

Noted by Pevsner for its impressive Tudor facade, The Old Manor House dates back to 1550 and yet offers all the contemporary comforts that guests require, in a warm and inviting ambience.

A beautiful old magnolia tree and rose-festooned thatched stable cottage create an enchanting and tranquil English country tableau. Three acres of sprawling, beautifully landscaped grounds (including summerhouse, gazebo and tennis court) sloping down to the River Stour and to the glorious Warwickshire countryside beyond, beckon even the rustiest of walkers!

Antiques mingle with finely chosen modern art in large, elegant, relaxing rooms adorned with fresh flowers, off the welcoming beamed and flagstoned hall. The effortlessly chic style continues upstairs in a perfectly decorated and impeccably furnished pristine double bedroom and a light and airy twin (with views for miles) both with their own bathrooms where dedication to total guest comfort is supremely evident.

Jane is Cordon Bleu trained, well travelled and has extensive experience in corporate hospitality. William is a barrister with great local knowledge and his hobbies include history, antiques, travel, books and meeting people. Both love entertaining guests, helping with their itineraries and are happy to make reservations at local restaurants (including booking the taxis if required so that wine may be enjoyed with dinner).
