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.

Reviews

Virginia, Diss

Gatehouse Lodge very comfortable and tastefully done. The best selection we've received at a holiday let of 'goodies' on your arrival like bread, cake, wine etc all local. Bedroom small but lovely. Huge bathroom with dressing gowns, towels and gorgeous pump soap. Gardens are beautiful and we did enjoy walking round of an evening when visitors had gone. Lovely ladies in tearoom and shop. Great base to see surrounding countryside. 2 downpoints, microwave in oven which I couldn't work out how to use so no porridge and very little wardrobe space for 2 people. Winding stairs could be a problem.

A delightfully quirky place to stay. Locally made bread, cake and sloe gin left for us on arrival. Log burner available for cold evenings with logs provided. The bathroom is huge and so is the very comfortable bed. Highly recommend

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.
