for members & patrons
Accommodation at Piers Court is currently reserved for founding members and patrons who share in the early development of the estate as a place of restoration, creativity, and well-being.
Set within 23 acres of enchanting gardens, ancient woodland and rolling countryside, the estate offers a private sanctuary for rest, reflection, and renewal—an idyllic haven for those wishing to step away from the demands of daily life and reconnect with themselves and with nature.
Accommodation currently includes rooms within the manor house, with access to a cosy parlour and fireplace, as well as two self-contained cottages, each offering private independent space with self-catering facilities.
Please note that Piers Court does not currently offer restaurant or guest-kitchen facilities within the manor house. Guests are encouraged to discover the many charming restaurants, country pubs, and cafés in the surrounding villages and market towns. A Tea Station—with a selection of teas, fresh garden herbs, coffee, and cold breakfast options—is available to guests staying in the manor house. For those requiring kitchen facilities, our Herb Garden Kitchen may be made available for private use by prior arrangement, subject to availability. Our cottages, however, are generally more convenient for self-catering stays.

This charming and cosy bedroom has a double bed facing a large window that frames a stunning view of a cherry tree just outside, with gardens stretching beyond. This dynamic picture of natural beauty captivates year-round, with birds fluttering and singing, and it is especially magnificent when the tree blooms in spring.
The ample en suite bathroom features a beautifully inviting bathtub along with a spacious separate shower, while a large window offers glimpses of our lovingly tended herbaceous border, often visited by grazing deer, further enhancing the serene and enchanting atmosphere.

This large bedroom features a king-size bed and a cozy sitting area by a large window, showcasing views of our ever-changing herbaceous border—a favourite grazing spot for our resident deer, who quietly grace the scene with their presence.
The en suite bathroom, though compact with a small shower cubicle, includes a petite window overlooking our pond, where wild mallard ducks return from their winter migration to breed here in spring.
This suite effortlessly blends rich character, natural beauty, and timeless history.

Nestled on the second floor in the Elizabethan section of the main house, the Family is a bright and welcoming room that can accommodate up to three people.

This lovely bedroom, equipped with ample wardrobe space, features a cosy double bed and a south-facing window that frames enchanting views of the gardens and a gracious old willow tree. An additional petite west-facing window offers a close-up view of Piers Court’s historic bell, a fascinating feature of the house, while still allowing additional light to filter in.
Rich in 16th-century character, the Bell boasts original beams and other historic features that reflect the architectural richness of the Elizabethan period. As this room is in the oldest part of the house, the ceiling height is slightly lower, contributing to its intimate and snug appeal. This feature may, however, be less suitable for taller guests seeking a more spacious environment.
The Bell shares a practical bathroom with the Family, conveniently located between the two rooms on the same floor. This bathroom, also boasting beautiful south-facing views, offers a bathtub and a compact separate shower.
Together with the Family, the Bell offers an intimate and private setting on the second floor in the Elizabethan section of the house, ideal for a family or friends travelling together and seeking a peaceful retreat.
EXPLORERS
The Explorers is an alluring, secluded top-floor retreat in the main house, offering a twin bedroom with breathtaking east-facing views over our rose garden and vast woodland beyond.
-
At the top of the Elizabethan staircase, a beautiful old door opens into a tucked-away wing, affectionately referred to by our guests as the ‘penthouse hideaway’. Here, a sequence of intimate spaces unfolds beneath the eaves, revealing unique character.
Stepping into this secluded opening space, guests are greeted by exposed beams and quirky features that reveal layers of history and a welcoming intimacy. Some areas feature restricted ceiling height, further adding to its singular charm.
This characterful ante-room invites visitors to unwind, share stories, or even play a tune on the guitar and other musical instruments provided. A skylight above fills the space with natural light, offering a glimpse of the roof and sky. This versatile area also features a futon, serving as both seating and an extra sleeping space when needed.
From here, a door leads into the Explorers bedroom, where an intimate bathing alcove features a bathtub bathed in natural light, be it sun or starlight, through the skylight above, with access to the en suite bathroom, which also includes a shower. An open doorway connects to the bedroom where two double beds face an east-facing window, inviting glimpses of the serene landscape beyond.
This unconventional space, with its tucked-away layout and slopping ceilings, may not be ideal for those who prefer more expansive interiors. However, for those who appreciate historical quirks and intimate spaces, it offers a unique and characterful stay.
WRITERS
The Writers is a refined south-facing en suite on the first floor of the Georgian wing, offering a bedroom with a super king-size bed.

The tranquil landscape outside changes with the seasons, adding to the room’s inspiring atmosphere. The en suite bathroom is complete with both a bathtub and a separate shower, and features a large sash window overlooking our rose garden and the lush, expansive landscape beyond, where a dense forest of old wild trees further enhances the room’s peaceful charm.
