Holmwood

Holmwood was built as a hunting lodge for Queen Victoria and was later home to Ronnie Wood of the Rolling Stones. Its grounds run to the edge of Richmond Park, 2,500 acres of ancient oak and open grassland where the deer roam free, and central London is less than nine miles away. Swim before breakfast, warm through in the sauna, eat what was grown in the organic garden, and let the park do the rest.

Corporate offsites

Bring your team somewhere that changes the conversation. Meet around the long table in the oak-panelled dining room, break for a chef’s lunch, swim, sit in the sauna or walk out into the park, and stay the night when the thinking needs more time.

Private hire

The whole home for family and friends: a milestone birthday, a reunion, or a few days with the people you love most. Twelve bedrooms, the pool, the spa and the gardens are yours, with a private chef if you would like one.
