The Experience

Breakfast in a light-filled, chinoiserie dining room – there’s an effortless elegance to this manor house, once home to one of King Charles’s Cavaliers. Bedrooms are atmospheric, one in French style. The treats continue outside with a beautiful flower garden annually replenished with 5,000 tulips, a lake and orchard, a swimming pool and a tennis court – fabulous. Dine under the pergola in summer: food is a passion and Sarah’s menus are adventurous with a modern slant. Glyndebourne is close so make a party of it and take a divine ‘pink’ hamper, with blankets or a table and chairs included.

Reviews

Robert, Berkshire

Perfect place to escape to (in our recent case from the rigours of moving house). A warm welcome in a gloriously quiet setting. Very civilised drinks in front of an open fire, before a delicious supper. We intended to stay 3 nights but ended up staying for 7 nights, and left reluctantly!! Many thanks to Sarah and Leah.


Elizabeth, London

Home from home…. Oh my! We would love this to be our home every day. The sumptuous sofas, the candle-lit dinner (amazing food) and the roaring fire in the drawing room made this a perfect stay - and, of course, the very talented Sarah had considered every aspect of our needs, including a fresh round of sandwiches ready upon arrival for one of our weary guests who appeared at Old Whyly way past bedtime. A return stay is a must!


Louise, London

Sarah and her team made us feel at home instantly. Old Whyly is a real treasure, oozing charm and elegance in beautiful peaceful surroundings. We had a wonderful stay and highly recommend dining there, you won't be disappointed.


Lars, Berlin

The Old Whyly is an absolutely lovely place. Very secretly and silently placed off the big roads with an amazing garden (or almost park) around it. Sarah is a fantastic host, always helpful and a great cook, both, for outstanding picknick to enjoy the Glyndebourne festival experience, and for dinners at the Old Whyly. A nice served breakfast comes on top. We are sure to return. Actually, we might consider a visit off season, maybe in the Winter. It will be enjoyably tranquil.


Urte, Weimar

I recently had the pleasure to stay at Old Whyly and I just can say it was one of the most marvellous stays I ever had. From the moment I arrived, I was warmly welcomed by the owner Sarah, whose genuine care and hospitality made my stay truly unforgettable. The Georgian Manor house itself is charming, well-maintained and offers all the comforts one could ask for. The rooms are cozy, spotlessly clean, and thoughtfully decorated, creating a homey atmosphere that immediately puts you at ease. The location is perfect; even the best in South England - peaceful, serene and with a touch of royality.
