The Experience

Since 1561, generations of Cholmeleys have managed the Easton estate in the rolling countryside of the Lincolnshire/Rutland borders, and in 2001 work began to restore the 12 acres of ‘lost’ gardens which originally surrounded the manor house. You stay in the lodge: a light, bright and peaceful space with good furniture, pictures and books, a downstairs sitting room painted cornflower blue and a well-planned kitchen; you’ll feel very happy staying indoors, perhaps just reading or recharging your batteries, but garden lovers will be too excited to stay put – as evening falls and the visitors leave, the gardens are yours to wander at will. Find walled gardens in the Tudor style, a turf maze, a yew tunnel and grand trees. Return to sleep peacefully in a restful, view-filled bedroom up a narrow spiral staircase, splash about happily in a roomy bathroom with wainscoted walls. You’re just under one miles from the A1 (depending on the wind direction you may hear a slight hum in the gardens) but all is quiet and rural-feeling inside. Walk the three miles to the estate pub for lunch or supper, amble around Rutland Water for birdwatching. Lovely.

Bruce, Norwich

Superb experience from arriving to find loads of goodies including wine, bread and sprits, to enjoying wonderful gardens, great walks and a smashing meal at the pub. Couldn't have asked for a more relaxing 3 days!

Richard, Markfield

Our long-weekend stay at The Gatehouse at Easton Walled Gardens was superb. On arrival, there was a lovely selection of goodies waiting for us (wine, cake, etc.), together with a welcome note from the owner. All the staff were brilliant; helpful and smiley. The cottage was spotless, and just the right size for the two of us. It was great to be able to stroll around the beautiful gardens ‘after-hours’, and to learn more about their history. We first came to visit the gardens when work had only just begun on their restoration, and it is wonderful to see how they have been given new life.

The neighbourhood

Local points of interest from Sir Fred Cholmeley

  • The Gatehouse Lodge is in Easton Walled Gardens, the gardens of the former Easton Hall which have been lovingly brought back to life by the Cholmeley family. Guests have free, unlimited access to the Gardens during their stay.
  • The Lodge is on the Easton Estate, owned by the Cholmeley Family since 1561. The Estate's pub, the Cholmeley Arms, is just over 3 miles away and serves the most delicious food.
  • The lovely market towns of Stamford and Oakham are within easy driving distance, as is Rutland Water. See Our Local Guide on our website for more things to do and see when staying with us.
  • We are an easy drive from many parts of the UK - just over 100 miles from each of London, Cheltenham, Manchester and York.
  • FD Roosevelt (32nd President of the United States) and his wife, Eleanor, spent their honeymoon at Easton Hall, as guests of the Cholmeley Family.
  • Sir Isaac Newton was born just across the road at Woolsthorpe Manor, now a National Trust property and open to the public.
