Summary
A magnificent 16th century, Grade I Listed hunting-lodge, immaculately preserved and maintained, Great Fosters is breathtaking - a living tribute to the Tudor period. Set within 50 acres of gardens, it includes a Saxon moat and one of the finest Arts and Crafts gardens in Europe.
Stone mullioned windows, oak panelling, Jacobean fireplaces and exceptional works of art grace the reception rooms. The 17th century oak staircase leads to a selection of individually decorated rooms and suites adorned with historic and ornate furniture, 16th century tapestries and four-poster beds.
Roam the gardens and find pretty arches and pergolas, a topiary display, a lake and the knot garden. Enjoy a game of tennis or croquet. Back inside, relax with pre-dinner drinks in the Cocktail Bar overlooking the picturesque Japanese bridge or enjoy dinner in the Oak Room.
