Gardens & History
Wotton House sits within 13 acres of Grade II listed gardens that include the first 17th-century Italian gardens in England. The estate traces its history to the Domesday Book of 1086 and is tied to the Evelyn family heritage. Guests can walk through botanical gardens, follow trails along the river, and explore grounds that also host fully licensed indoor and outdoor wedding venues.
Dining & Afternoon Tea
The 1877 Restaurant & Bar serves modern British cuisine using locally sourced produce. Afternoon tea is available in the conservatory overlooking the gardens, with pastries prepared by an in-house pastry chef. The bar menu includes bar snacks such as hummus with paprika butter and a selection of breads, while dinner offers starters like salmon and mains such as cod or fillet of beef.
Leisure & Wellness
Guests have free access to the indoor swimming pool, gym, sauna, steam room, and a single tennis court. The leisure centre also includes a fitness/spa locker room and yoga classes. A shallow end in the pool and a steam room are available, though the jacuzzi has been reported out of order at times.
Pet-Friendly Accommodations
Dogs are welcome with pet baskets and bowls provided, and the hotel offers ample outdoor space for walks. Four-legged guests receive treats from staff, and the grounds include dog-friendly trails. Dogs are not permitted inside the main restaurant but can dine with their owners in the bar area.
