History of the estate

The site's history is documented from a large Georgian house reputedly built in 1797 for Hinman Allenby. In 1888 the house was purchased by Thomas Garfit, a member of the Lincolnshire banking family, for £19,000, and was remodelled and extended in 1888–89 by Temple Moore at a cost of £6,390. In 1925 the Dixon family of Bargate, Grimsby, bought it for £12,500 with 292 acres of land. During the Second World War the hall was used as a training base for home guard training and was bombed in 1944, with one wing and most of the roof destroyed; the War Damage Commission repaired it at a cost of £40,000. The house was demolished between 1960 and 1963 and replaced by a neo-Georgian house built on the old cellars to the design of Eric Houfe of Richardson & Houfe, on a 560-acre estate.

Christmas, New Year and seasonal breaks

The estate promotes Christmas and New Year stays with entertainment, food and drink, and seasonal offers. Spa breaks are presented around the spa, private hot tubs, woodland walks and the surrounding countryside.
