Fans of Downton Abbey, Wolf Hall and the like (even Upstairs Downstairs if you’re old enough to remember that), this is for you. Lady Bawtry is a glorious country house that stands at the heart of a 250 acre estate in South Yorkshire; imposing and impressive with grand proportions – 9 spacious bedroom suites to sleep 20 set around a galleried landing, a drawing room, sitting room, games room/library, a fully equipped kitchen, dining room, gym, and what’s this – a ballroom?? How wonderful!
So you see, this is a very special place to stay for any large group holiday in the UK; huge grounds where peacocks mosey about, with a hot tub, formal landscaped gardens, sweeping lawns and woodlands – you won’t need to go anywhere else. Think of the celebrations you could have here with the chosen few! Dining and dancing, maybe a murder mystery night from My Event Concierge (see Extras) – it’s the perfect setting for it! Those milestone birthdays, significant anniversaries and dignified hen weekends will take on a whole new meaning here. Corporate breaks will never be forgotten – none of it will, whatever the occasion, because to stay at Lady Bawtry is such an experience.
Take your stout shoes and go for a walk, a good explore of the estate; the chances are that if you’re quiet you’ll spot deer grazing. Swagger down the tree lined avenue, saunter across the lawn, wander through the woodlands, take afternoon tea in the walled Victorian rose garden; live the dream.
Should you feel the need to venture off the estate you won’t have to go far to find attractions that are well worth a visit. Yorkshire Wildlife Park is only 10 minutes away and just a little further is the Tropical Butterfly House. Take your hearties for an afternoon at Pirate Cove Adventure Golf, or if you’re into watersports, go to Hatfield Outdoor Activity Centre for fun at the Aqua Park, boating and paddleboarding.
Maybe a few of you could slip away from your stately home to pop into Bawtry for a browse around the independent boutiques and antiques shops, and the galleries. Stay for lunch at The Crown Hotel, book for dinner at China Rose for fine Cantonese dining.
Lord it up at Lady Bawtry, love the magnificence, the history, the tranquility, the closeness to nature, being with your best-loved people. Relax, be joyful. Oh, and don’t forget your dancing shoes…
