The spectacular Orangery, designed in 1777 by Lancelot ‘Capability’ Brown, houses delicate plants of many kinds including one of the oldest camellia in the country. The Tea Room is open to the public and residential guests are welcome make use of the Tea Room at any point during their stay.
The Orangery Tea Room is open Tuesday – Sunday 10:30 am – 4 pm. The kitchen closes at 3.30 pm. (Serving light refreshments and drinks until 4 pm.)
