Brookside – Grand Georgian Manor: A Luxurious Countryside Escape for Up to 24 Guests

Set in a pretty village location, this stunning Georgian manor house has that delicious mix of stately elegance and modern comfort that makes you feel both a little bit fancy and totally at home. Think high ceilings, handsome proportions, sash windows, and all the charm you’d expect from a classic period property — blended seamlessly with everything you need for a relaxed, stress-free group getaway.

Whether you’re planning a big family reunion, a milestone birthday, a special anniversary, or simply a “we really need to get everyone together” weekend, Brookside is designed for gathering. Not just cramming people in — but truly bringing them together in style.

Space to Breathe (and Celebrate)

One of the first things you’ll notice about Brookside is just how generously proportioned everything feels. With eight large bedrooms and five bathrooms, there’s plenty of room for up to 24 guests to spread out, sleep well, and still have a bit of privacy when needed.

The bedrooms are a lovely mix of classic and contemporary — spacious, comfortable, and thoughtfully styled. Some have that grand, traditional feel with elegant furnishings, while others lean more modern, ensuring there’s something to suit everyone’s taste. No fighting over the “best room” here — they’re all rather lovely.

The bathrooms are equally well appointed, meaning no queue dramas in the morning (a small miracle when you’re travelling with a large group).

The Heart of the House: Dining Together

If food, laughter, and long, lingering meals are your thing, you’ll fall head over heels for the grand dining area at Brookside.

This is not a “squeeze around the table in shifts” situation — this is a proper, everyone-together, pass-the-wine, tell-that-story-again kind of dining room. The kind of space where memories are made over candlelight dinners, celebratory toasts, or big, lazy brunches piled high with pastries and coffee.

Whether you’re hiring a private chef, ordering in, or cooking up a storm yourselves, this dining space sets the scene for something truly special.

Relax, Lounge, Repeat

After a day of exploring, celebrating, or simply lounging by the pool, the large, inviting lounge is the perfect place to regroup.

Picture it: soft lighting, deep comfy sofas, a crackling fire in cooler months, and your whole group sprawled out with drinks, snacks, and a bit of friendly chaos. It’s cosy without feeling cramped, stylish without being stuffy — exactly the kind of space that encourages relaxation.

Perfect for movie nights, late-night chats, or those “one more glass of wine before bed” moments.

Game On: The Ultimate Party Room

If you’ve got a competitive streak in your group (and let’s face it, someone always does), the large games room / party room is going to be a big hit.

This is where the fun really ramps up.

Think table games, laughter, a bit of friendly rivalry, and plenty of space to let loose. Whether you’re planning a birthday bash, a family tournament, or just want somewhere for the kids (and big kids) to burn off some energy, this room delivers in spades.

It’s also brilliant if you’re celebrating something special — decorate it, crank up the music, and make it your own.

Outdoor Living: Pool, Hot Tub, and Fresh Air

Now let’s talk about the bit that really elevates Brookside from “lovely house” to “wow, this is next level.”

The heated outdoor swimming pool is an absolute dream — especially for spring and summer stays.

Imagine sunny mornings with coffee by the pool, lazy afternoons floating about, and early evening dips as the light softens over the countryside. It’s the kind of feature that makes everyone feel like they’re on a mini luxury retreat.

If you want to dial things up another notch, there’s also the option to hire a hot tub — perfect for star-gazing, late-night chats, or soothing tired muscles after a long walk.

Between the pool, the outdoor space, and the village surroundings, Brookside strikes that perfect balance between feeling secluded yet connected.

Thoughtful Touches for Everyone

One of the things that really stands out about Brookside is how well it caters for different needs within a large group.

There’s a ground floor bedroom, making the house much more accessible for elderly guests or anyone with mobility issues. It’s a thoughtful detail that means nobody has to feel excluded or uncomfortable — everyone gets to enjoy the weekend together.

And if you’re staying in a village, you’ll love having a local shop, café, and pub right on your doorstep. Perfect for popping out for fresh croissants, grabbing a pint, or stretching your legs with a gentle wander.

Perfect for Every Kind of Gathering

Brookside works beautifully for all kinds of group getaways:

• Multi-generational family holidays

• Big birthday celebrations

• Anniversaries and milestone moments

• Friends’ reunions

• Special occasion weekends

• Relaxed corporate retreats

There’s something wonderfully flexible about the space — you can make it as lively or as laid-back as you like.

Your Countryside Escape Awaits

Brookside isn’t just a place to stay — it’s a place to experience.

It’s laughter echoing through high ceilings, clinking glasses around a long table, splashy pool days, cosy evenings in the lounge, and memories that linger long after you’ve packed up and gone home.

If you’re looking for a grand, welcoming, and utterly charming Georgian manor that brings people together — you’ve found it.
