rooms. In all of the rooms we have tried to enhance as much of the natural light as we could to create beautiful spaces that would feel calm and relaxed. “As a company we are very privileged to
be a part of Foxhill Manor’s Renovation. The boutique hotel is a great addition to the estate on which it is based and will be a venue for people to enjoy visiting. I feel we have delivered what we set out to achieve; a comfortable, enjoyable space that can be used for celebrations and special occasions.”
About Foxhill The manor originally sat
at the heart
of its own 100-acre estate, high on the Cotswold escarpment above Willersey and Broadway. Today the grounds have merged into the 400-acre Farncombe Estate with its own woods, footpaths and lakes. The stories that surround Foxhill Manor
take us from the Arts & Crafts ideal to WW2 military heroism. The building was designed by Joseph Lancaster Ball, a Yorkshire-born architect who designed a number of important houses and offices in Birmingham. Perhaps the most notable feature of the
door leads out onto the terrace and offers spectacular views of the garden and the breathtaking Vale of Evesham beyond. The Ballroom boasts a beautiful painted tree detail on the wall and acts as a great centerpiece to the space. Foxhill Manors Listed status caused con-
siderable construction and design related challenges and huge efforts were made to run services within existing voids; such as using redundant chimneys as opposed to opening up the existing structure. The innovative design approach enabled the project to remain on track, in budget and in line with planning restrictions. All events at Foxhill Manor are looked
after by the Dormy House team and a dedicated House Butler. Foxhill Manor offers a choice of different dining options

from a posh intimate dinner for up to 16 in The Dining Room to a big old bash for 80 in The Ballroom. The hotel’s Head Chef, Jon Ingram and his team, look after the menus for every event and are able to create bespoke menus in line with guests requirements; from posh sit-down dinners to more casual dining options including BBQs or spit roasts on the lawns, buffets and fun themed menus. Sarah added: “We have used a wide range of materials
and furniture in order to create an eclectic feel. We were striving to deliver a comfort- able and welcoming space which guests would feel at home in. The building has a great light to it which is further enhanced by the plethora of beautiful large windows in the communal spaces and the bed-
Manor is its layout, which consists of an East-West facing body and four wings that reach out for sunshine at all times of day. At the front of the house is a sweeping gravel drive, a wonderful setting for wed- ding processions and classic cars. At the back, a sunset terrace has uninterrupted views over the Vale of Evesham towards the Malverns and – on a clear day – the mountains of Wales. Situated in the heart of the Cotswolds,
Foxhill Manor is perfect as a base for exploring
the English countryside.
