Are you a meticulous planner? Or do you go with the flow when it comes to getaways?

This August, we’re bringing back our two-night curated staycations, with space to rest, to discover and, of course, to delight the gourmand in you. Trade airport security for a foraging experience. And that spirited discussion about where to eat dinner while waiters wave menus in your faces? We’ve got a gourmet BBQ on our terrace, moments from your room and all included in the staycation experience. So you can leave any hint of FOMO at home.

Check in at 3pm for an arrival drink, accompanied by cake and vinyl.

An informal wine tasting is next on the agenda, before you head to the Manor terrace for a generous BBQ by way of night one’s dinner. Expect plates like the team’s barbecued beef brisket, with black garlic puree and beer battered onion rings, as well as yakitori chicken, with plenty of sides.

After a luxuriant night’s sleep, enjoy a leisurely breakfast before getting some fresh air with a foraging taster workshop on day two.

Lunch is a picnic prepped in the Manor House kitchen, inclusive of a good glug of Nyetimber. Choose your spot across the estate, or opt for a table and chairs if rustic is not your idea of a good time.

In the afternoon, relax in your individually designed bedroom, or wander the local area with help from our Field Guide before getting ready for dinner. You’re eating a la carte at Stu Deeley’s Smoke, and both the vine house and terrace spaces will be open if the weather is feeling friendly.

On day three, after breakfast, join our Meet the Maker tour—your backstage pass to the estate—before all too soon, it’s time to say goodbye.

From August 5 to 7, and August 27 to 29, summer staycations are from £449pp based on two sharing (pre-paid rate). Inclusive of two nights B&B, three-course Smoke dinner, gourmet BBQ, picnic, foraging experience and everything else listed above. You have until Sunday before we release availability on social. Book
