Our family from the Netherlands, a group of 17 people, had the privilege of staying in two extraordinary houses on the Ashton Estate for a three-day wedding celebration. It was truly the perfect location to experience a traditional English wedding in a setting full of history and charm.
Both houses were of exceptional quality and beautifully maintained. Everywhere we looked, there were historical paintings, antique decorations, and fascinating artifacts that reflected the rich English heritage of the estate. This unique atmosphere added an extra dimension to what was already an unforgettable weekend.
We were also incredibly lucky with the weather, which made the experience even more special.
Communication with the hosts was outstanding from beginning to end. They were always responsive, thoughtful, and accommodating, and they went out of their way to meet all our wishes and answer every question we had. Their hospitality made us feel truly welcome.
Our stay exceeded all expectations. We created memories that will last a lifetime, and we very much hope to return one day. We can wholeheartedly recommend this exceptional place to anyone looking for a unique and unforgettable experience.

We have just returned from the Gatehouse on the wonderful Ashton Wold Estate. We were a party of 3 adults and our dog, and the beautiful estate, woodland walks, lake and large private garden were enjoyed by all. The Gatehouse is gorgeous with good quality furnishings and beautiful art works.
We were shown 2 other properties, the Raphael and Renaissance Rooms which are magnificent and where we would love to stay in the future. All the other houses we saw on the estate look equally as good.
There are many good pubs within a short drive and the Chequered Skipper in Ashton is only a 20 minute walk away. Oundle is a 10 minute drive with a Waitrose and Co-op as well as many independent shops.
Carol, Guido and their team were very helpful both before and during our stay and very knowledgeable about the history of the estate.
We will certainly return to this hidden gem either to the Gatehouse or one of the other properties.
