Witley Court was gutted by fire in 1937 but still retains its seductive allure. This is a grand house stripped of its gilded interiors without ever losing its bravado. Just to make the point, the wonderfully flamboyant Perseus and Andromeda fountain fires water triumphantly into the air at different times of the day, while the garden is maintained to the highest of standards following a major English Heritage project.
The house, originally Jacobean, was added to over the years, reaching its peak in the 1850s when Lord Dudley lived here, supported by an army of servants. The then Prince of Wales was a regular visitor, when the house reverberated to the sound of music and clinking champagne flutes. It must have seemed as if the party would never end.
Pool House sleeps eight - ideal for two families. It was built in the 1940s as a private residence and comes with its own secluded garden. You are in the grounds of Witley but from here it's a glorious 5-10 minute walk along a rhododendron-lined path to the ruined mansion.
Witley is near the Welsh border and a half-hour drive from foodie Ludlow.
