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

Lynne, Great missenden

We had a wonderful three night stay at gatehouse lodge. It was a perfect little bolt hole for two, beautifully renovated and equipped. It was so comfortable. It was a bonus to have the gardens to ourselves once the visitors went. The surrounding countryside is lovely with many quintessentiall English villages which we explored on our bikes. A lovely stay and would love to return.

Christine, Bingham, Nottingham.

I loved my few days at the Gatehouse Lodge and plan to return. Being able to go into the gardens at any time is a real pleasure and the property is most welcoming, in itself, and because of the "starter" items left for the visitor.

Joy, Manchester

We have stayed at Easton on a number of occasions and every time the stay is 5 star. The accommodation is beautiful with everything you need. The gardens are stunning and a delight to stroll in when visitors go home. The garden shop and cafe's are an extra bonus. You are welcomed with a selection of local produce. The host is superb, quick to help. The estate staff are all very welcoming and professional. We will be booking our return visit for 2024. I would recommend the estate cottages 100%.

Laura, Chinnor

A beautifully equipped cottage. Cosy, clean and perfect for two. Well located, having out of hours access to the walled garden. The welcome pack included treats as well as essentials. We had two very good suppers in the pub on the estate which is a 10 minute drive away along a quiet single track road. The portions were huge. A delightful, restful break

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.

Generations of Cholmeleys have managed The Easton Estate in Lincolnshire since 1561. Sir Fred and his wife, keen to introduce guests to the beauty and tranquillity of country life, have been running their Walled Gardens as a visitor attraction since the early 2000s. They live on The Easton Estate, and have holidayed in their Norfolk Yellow House since 2004 too.
