Haunted Hosts

Grade II* listed Georgian country house with origins dating to 1632. Built by Edward Blofield and later owned by the Brooks family for over 145 years. The manor has a tragic history including the death of Mary Ann Brooks (1822-1848), only daughter of John Thomas Brooks, who died aged 26. In the early 1990s during renovations, builders made a chilling discovery - a hidden secret room beneath roof tiles containing a bricked-up doorway leading to the upper floor. This room is believed to have been the quarters of an old housekeeper, and its discovery coincided with increased paranormal activity. The hotel conversion preserved much of the original Georgian architecture and furnishings.
