Superbly restored and lavishly decorated with convenience and comfort in mind, the
17th-century Manor House is at the heart of the Eaton Manor Estate in nearly an
acre of private, gently rolling gardens, perfect for a game of cricket or an afternoon
drink on the lawn. The Eaton Brook flows at the bottom of the garden, making it
a lovely spot for wildlife watching or perhaps fishing from the stepping stones
during the summer months. The house itself is no less lovely than the grounds, combining
a wealth of interesting historic features such as timber framed walls, leaded windows
and original flagstones with modern luxuries such as a sauna and a well-equipped
kitchen for adventurous cooks. The brook is now fenced to keep our youngest guests
safe.
The Manor House Accommodation
The Manor House has six bedrooms, each individually decorated to preserve the warmth
and character of the rooms. Downstairs is the Master Bedroom, newly decorated with
a stunning 6' double bed and en-suite bathroom; as well as the Garden Room with
twin/double bed and spectacular French windows with glorious views down to the brook.
Upstairs is the Terracotta Room, featuring exposed ceiling beams, original leaded
windows and a grand Queen Anne-style mahogany four poster bed for added luxury.
The Poppy Room is decorated in a traditional country style, with three single beds
or a double and a single with dramatic views to the Wenlock Edge, while the Green
Room has rustic exposed wall and ceiling beams, a twin/double bed and beautiful
views to the garden. The Snug has a 4'6 double bed and is accessed through the Green
Room, making these two rooms particularly suitable for families.
The rest of the house is well-appointed with plenty of room for guests to spread
out. The entrance is via the south-west facing conservatory with views of the Wenlock
Edge, which leads to the tiled hall and then the dining room featuring an oil-fired
Aga and a huge oak table seating 18 - ideal for meals with the whole family.
The kitchen is bright and well equipped with plenty of utensils, a dishwasher, larder
fridge, microwave and an electric fan cooker. Open-tread steps from the dining room
lead down to the salt cellar, where you can find a tumble dryer, washer/dryer, freezer
and sink. Across the hall from the dining room is the drawing room, a warm and welcoming
room complete with original beams and a Victorian range which was discovered bricked
into the wall. Of course, there are plenty of sofas as well as a television, DVD
player, many books and some board games for entertaining evenings.
The Manor House has three bathrooms; the main bathroom on the first floor with bath,
shower, sink and wash stand, a toilet/shower room off the salt cellar, and the en-suite
bathroom to the ground floor master bedroom.
Extras
As well as a radio/CD player, Eaton Manor has its own working 19th-century harmonium,
a beautiful instrument perfect for sing-a-longs if there’s an organist in
your group!
Why not try out the private sauna? It’s exclusive to guests at the Manor House
and is quite possibly the ideal way to relax and round off a lazy day in the pool
or sitting in the garden.
Parking is no problem at the Manor House - we have off-road parking for four cars,
as well as additional spaces on the drive. It’s a no through road, so you
won't have to worry about other traffic either.
