Lady Carnarvon Invites Friends & Patrons To Stay In The Lodges

We are delighted to offer you, early access to stay in our much-loved cottages, London Lodge and Grotto Lodge.

Both Lodges are now available to book through the calendars on our main website once you have logged into your account. London Lodge is available for two-night stays, while Grotto Lodge is available for three-night stays.

About the Lodges:

London Lodge

In 1793, Colonel Henry Herbert was created the 1st Earl of Carnarvon by King George III. To celebrate, he commissioned the construction of an impressive entrance to his beautiful Park at Highclere: London Lodge. We have now lovingly and completely restored this historic building, transforming it into a charming and comfortable Lodge for a two-night stay. The property comprises two wings, including a double bedroom.

Grotto Lodge

Grotto Lodge is a charming and characterful building, designed by the Victorian architect Thomas Allom and built approximately 150 years ago. Allom was assistant architect to Sir Charles Barry, the architect responsible for Highclere Castle. The Lodge has two double bedrooms, one on each floor above the sitting room and kitchen, making it a wonderful base from which to enjoy the Highclere Estate and the surrounding area.

Your Stay

To help you settle in, we provide a selection of basic provisions on arrival at either Lodge, including coffee, tea, breakfast items and fresh fruit. The Lodges are otherwise self-catering. You will also find information about local pubs and restaurants, together with suggestions for places to visit and things to enjoy during your stay at Highclere.

We very much look forward to welcoming you and hope you will enjoy the opportunity to stay at one of our beautiful Lodges. Please note that bookings can only be accepted if you remain an active Friend or Patron of Highclere Castle at the time of your stay.
