Even from the exterior, this 18th-century building is impressive. The original wing contains period features such as silky patterned walls, grand decorative fireplaces, glitzy chandeliers and parquet flooring. The modern part features more contemporary furnishings, muted colours and clean lines.
Whether you're looking for active leisure pursuits or relaxation, you'll be spoilt for choice for things to do. From falconry, fishing, cycling and golf to river cruises, the Abbey Movie Theatre and the Glo Spa & Wellness centre - the active and curious will be amused.
