Experiences

Experiences

More than a stay. Things you can arrange without ever leaving the house.

The house is happy to arrange more than a bed and a table. Tell us what would make the stay yours, and we will set it up here, in the garden or around the pizza oven.

The large brick pizza oven in the garden at Hamilton House

Around the fire

Some of it happens around food

A cooking course in the kitchen with the team. A long table laid outside, under the trees, for dinner. The brick oven is lit and the evening slows down.

The rose garden at Hamilton House

In the garden

Others are quieter

A gin tasting in the rose garden as the afternoon cools. Lawn games under the trees. A curated selection carried in for a private hour of shopping. The setting does most of the work.
