Sandon Manor

An enchanting country estate nestled in the rolling countryside, just outside Royston, Sandon Manor is a family run farm with a recently refurbished Queen Anne Manor House, which is steeped in history. Situated off the country lanes, the Manor is reached by a stone driveway edged with black iron fencing and sits grandly and proudly encompassed in the grounds of a formal garden and large lawn. It is within 1200 acres of land, which is being converted to rewilded countryside. Once you step inside the house it quite simply takes your breath away. There is an infiltration of light, cascading through the huge sash windows, highlighting the exquisite decor, high ceilings, intricate details and beautiful interior styling. The 7 bedroom Manor itself sleeps up to 16 people and is offered as a stunningly perfect getaway destination, for gatherings and special occasions. Six of the bedrooms face south, overlooking the gardens, again with expansive windows in each room which are spacious and elegantly decorated. The master bedroom has an en-suite shower room and walk-in wardrobe, and the two other bedrooms on the first floor have decadent, private bathrooms. On the top floor the four bedrooms share LUXURY two shower rooms. The bathrooms are like bedrooms in size; vast, light and airy with high quality finishes.

LUXURY STAYS

LUXURY STAYS

Gather for a sit-down dinner in the dining room that sits up to 16, or keep it relaxed in the heart of the house; the stunning modernised kitchen. Alternatively, cook outdoors on the built-in brick BBQ. You can envisage sitting after dark, sharing stories and laughter around the roaring fire in the lounge, whilst the teenagers make the most of the games room. If you would like a special meal to be included, a full catering service is available on request, and a professional chef could be arranged to come in and do it all for you. You could treat yourselves to an afternoon tea hamper on the estate, or appreciate being at one with nature, with a woodland dining experience. The Sandon Manor team have really thought about everything and it is evident that their passion for design, style, beauty, history, nature, hosting and entertaining have come together to create a stylishly unique and breathtaking experience for guests at the Sandon Manor Estate. This continues even further, as they have been busy putting together an exciting range of estate experiences for guests to enjoy and make their time here unforgettable. Some are organised by the team themselves, whilst others involve local artisans coming in to share their own expertise. From a guided nature walk on the estate, to a deep tissue massage or an art session in the ancient orchard. There really is something to suit all tastes and make the whole experience bespoke and special.

Also on the grounds is The Dovecote. As you might guess from the name, this standalone building was once used to house the estate’s doves and has stayed true to its heritage with a wall of boulins still included in the décor. It is an exquisite, self contained, boutique bolthole for two. The Dovecote has a huge mezzanine bedroom, cosy seating area and a wood burning stove. This can be used on its own, or along with the manor, for larger groups. If you’re looking for an intimate wedding venue then this really is the perfect location. The happy couple can get married on site and then hire the whole manor to make it a weekend for guests to cherish and remember. Elsewhere on the grounds, in the old barns, a very exciting renovation project is well underway. Due to be completed at the start of 2023, this purpose-built wedding venue will be unlike anything else in our area. We are thrilled to have been invited to come back when the project is finished, so that we can bring you all of the details, at a later date. The bespoke options, for a stay, really are endless and you can make it whatever you want it to be. Sandon Manor is a truly unique and charming place, it certainly gets our seal of approval and is highly recommended by the STONES team.
