Choose to stay for a 2 night/3 day immersive art retreat in a traditional room and wake up to the characterful charm of this Grade I listed property set in 77 acres of parkland. Rooms are in the courtyard mews (upgrade/supplements available). At the end of each day relax with new friends and get a glass of Beaujolais in the Marble Lounge.
As part of the course you’ll start the day with a petit dejeuner that reflects the Parisian lifestyle of the era, in the original stables. For lunch and dinner, you will find a tempting new menu each day, with seasonal hot dishes, salads and a range of puddings. Locally sourced ingredients are used where possible including produce from Chilston Park itself.
