Itinerary Highlights

The journey, day by day.

A representative sketch. Every hour is re-composed for the party we serve — but the register does not change.

  1. Day One

    Arrival at the estate

    Helicopter transfer from Battersea or chauffeured drive from London. A welcome tea in the drawing room; the housekeeper walks you through the wings.

  2. Day Two

    A shoot, or a walk with the head gardener

    For the sporting party: a driven day with the estate's keeper. For the rest: private tours of the walled gardens, a picnic laid at a folly, and the library opened for the afternoon.

  3. Day Three

    Chef's-table dinner in the orangery

    A day at leisure; carriage rides, fly-fishing on the estate's chalk stream, or a private visit to a neighbouring house. Dinner is a ten-course tasting in the orangery.

  4. Day Four

    A last morning, then onward

    Breakfast in the sunroom; a final walk. Onward transfer to London, or by helicopter directly to the Scottish estate we hold as a continuation.
