Set within a 1,200-acre rewilded estate in rural Hertfordshire, Sandon Manor is a striking Georgian home that blends historic character with contemporary comforts. Sleeping up to 16 guests, this exclusive-use retreat is ideal for multigenerational family stays, milestone celebrations or weekends in the countryside with friends.
At the heart of the estate, the recently restored Queen Anne Manor House is full of original features and personality, think wood-burning stoves, a private bar in the historic Drawing Room, and even a centuries-old musket hole in the front door. Inside, three generous reception rooms, a sociable kitchen-diner, and a dedicated games room ensure space for both lively gatherings and laid-back moments.
Outdoors, guests can enjoy formal gardens, a large croquet lawn, and alfresco dining with BBQ facilities. The courtyard setting keeps the host close at hand, while still ensuring privacy and freedom across the grounds. With catering options available, as well as on-site activities and nearby country pubs and market towns to explore, Sandon Manor offers a countryside experience with depth, warmth, and a true sense of place, less than an hour from London.
- The house sits on a working farm, so expect some natural countryside activity nearby
- Spa access is limited to daytime hours and is unsupervised, use is at guests’ own risk
- No amplified music allowed outdoors to maintain the peaceful setting and respect for neighbours
