Ston Easton Park

This magnificent 18th century Palladian mansion is surrounded by 36 acres of parkland designed by Humphry Repton, a leading 18th-century landscape designer. The beautiful grounds encompass a cascading river overhung by willows and crossed by pretty bridges, and a giant walled Victorian kitchen garden. Now a luxury 4-star hotel, Ston Easton Park is captivating: pedimented doorways, marble fireplaces, elaborate cornicing, gilt mirrors, old oil paintings, fine porcelain and antiques fill the elegant public rooms. The bedrooms are generally large, many with 4-poster beds and a stay here will take you back in time to an era of opulence, yet despite the grandeur of the house, there is a very warm welcome, making guests feel they are part of a country house party.
