Thanks to Anglo Saxon records, we know the manor of Down Hall was in existence during the reign of Edward the Confessor and after the battle of hastings in 1066, later falling into possession of William the Conqueror. In the centuries that followed, Down Hall belonged to a number of families and individuals until the 18th century when the manor house opened as a hospital and later, an upmarket boarding school for girls.

Millions of pounds have now been invested into restoring the house to its former glory as well as modernising the property to create the luxury hotel you see today. Down Hall Country House Hotel presents 14 private dining and meeting spaces for up to 200 guests. Meeting rooms within the main house feature grand interiors, ornate ceilings, and an abundance of natural daylight. Whereas the West Wing offers newly refurbished contemporary suites and spaces.
