which just opened. This hotel offers all the attractions of a
country house, with the added advantage of being within easy

Exterior: Heythrop Park was built in the early 18th Century and is
steeped in history. Charles Talbot, the 12th Earl of Shrewsbury
commissioned the architect Thomas Archer to create a magnificent
house incorporating all the Roman influences Charles Talbot had
grown so passionate about during his time in Rome. The exterior is
thus one of its main attractions, with the stunning grounds leading
up to the impressive main house. The modern annexes of previous
years have been now gone and the Shrewsbury Wing that forms part of
the original Manor House has been refurbished completely and
features a lovely quad with manicured gardens.
Lobby: The medium sized lobby is very well furnished, comfortable
and full of history with a lovely atrium with plush chairs and
couches.
