Discover the beating heart of Shakespeare’s England with a stay at the Hunting Lodge at Ragley Estate. Perched on the edge of the estate of the famous stately home Ragley Hall in Warwickshire, the ancestral seat of the Hertford family for over 300 years, this elegant redbrick former hunting lodge stands surrounded by glorious countryside, with views over the rolling hills of the Ragley Estate to the rear. Multi-paned lead windows twinkle in the sunshine and a striking stack of four chimney pots dominates the rooftop. Inside, flagstone floors lead through rooms with ancient oak timber frames, exposed beams and hidden nooks and crannies. With seven bedrooms, two living rooms, a games room, and a magnificent garden meandering over two and a half acres complete with an old orchard, children’s playhouse and a bubbling wood-fired hot tub, this is a fabulous holiday home.
When staying at the hunting lodge, you can enjoy the many events held throughout the year at Ragley Hall, including Classic Ibiza, Fireworks Champions, and DogFest – made all the more important with the hunting lodge being dog-friendly. Or perhaps you’re staying for your own celebratory event, with Ragley Hall known as a popular Warwickshire wedding venue. Take a look at the Ragley Hall website for information on the nearby activities, or simply sit back and enjoy the views and sumptuous furnishings of the hunting lodge for a quieter, family holiday. It's close to the action, but far enough away to be secluded.
