About

Whitworth Hall Hotel & Deer Park is a luxury country retreat steeped in history. The site dates back to 1183 when the Shafto family first built the grand manor house, and today the historic Whitworth Hall has been transformed into a 29‑room hotel offering elegant accommodation that overlooks the park’s well‑kept deer enclosure and an adjoining walled garden preserved for centuries. Guests enjoy a range of dining options, including the Library Restaurant, which serves evening meals from 6 pm, and the Brasserie, open from noon. Afternoon tea—a popular highlight—is available in the Garden Room, Lounge Bar, or on the patio when the weather permits, adding a touch of leisurely luxury to the stay. The expansive deer park invites leisurely strolls and offers sweeping views of the surrounding countryside, while the historic walled garden provides a picturesque backdrop for quiet contemplation. With its blend of heritage charm and modern comfort, Whitworth Hall Hotel & Deer Park is a celebrated destination for couples, families or solo travelers seeking a peaceful escape.
