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

Matthew, Sussex

What a delightful place. The welcome could not be warmer, the cake could not be fresher and the ambience could not be more relaxing. Sarah is a wonderful host, and fabulous cook and Leah the housekeeper is marvellous too. We will certainly be returning.


Mary, London UK

Staying at Old Whyly was special and memorable. The elegant Georgian simplicity and its spaciousness create a sense of calm, enhanced by the beautiful antique furniture so right for the building. The location, surrounded by lawns and woodland with spring bulbs, is quiet and so pleasing both on the eye and for a gentle stroll. Sarah, helped by Lia, made us the most delicious and attractive meals, and the wine list included some from a local vineyard. We found just two nights stay extremely therapeutic, especially sitting in the elegant drawing room beside a roaring log fire!


Angela, Reading

We had a warm welcome from Sarah, our host. It was a cold day so we were very pleased to accept her offer of tea and homemade cake in front of a lovely log fire in the comfortable and spacious sitting room. Sarah is an excellent cook, passionate about food, and served us a delicious dinner in the elegant dining room at 7.30pm. We were the only guests that evening, but not left alone as Sarah came to chat with us when we had coffee in the sitting room after the meal. Breakfast the next morning was equally delicious, and before we left we were given a tour of the impressive garden.


Katie, Alnwick

Staying in this beautiful house was an absolute pleasure. It really is comfortable and we were given a great welcome by Sarah and her team. The garden is outstanding. We were cooked a particularly delicious breakfast and we have already booked to return soon. Highly recommended.


Peter, London

A friend & I were shooting in the area of this lovely house and needed an overnight stay with both B&B plus supper. On arrival I was greeted by Sarah and her housekeeper with a welcoming pot of tea and some cake near a roaring and warming fire. After a hot shower, a splendid dinner with wine was served in the dining room after which we retired to the drawing room for a very pleasant digestif . Following a sound sleep a hearty breakfast beckoned, which set us up for the day's shooting ahead! Thank you Sarah and housekeeper for a lovely, comfortable stay with you. We would come again!
