Exclusive Collection
Eat well, sleep well, do you well. Take a breath from the everyday, in beautiful surroundings. We’re called Exclusive Collection because, well, that’s exactly what we are: a collection of exclusive and independent country house hotels, spas, a golf club, a cookery school, and a classic English pub. Every property is situated in a beautiful location, surrounded by acres of stunning countryside and gardens, offering leisure experiences, wedding, meeting and training requirements and more. Each is entirely distinct, finding home in differing counties of England but cared for with the same love and attention (we’ve got no favourites here). At the heart of every one of our estates, though, is our strong passion for food, attention to every detail, a warm welcome that makes everyone feel at home, including our colleagues. With over 800 permanent employees, we are surrounded by a wealth of talented and passionate people. Our visions and values reflect our commitment to both our guests and our team, encouraging innovative guest service within an exciting and diverse industry. Being the first hotel group to be certified B Corp in the UK, we are committed to giving equal importance to people and the planet, alongside profit. • Fanhams Hall - hotel in Hertfordshire • Lainston House - hotel and cookery school in Winchester • Pennyhill Park - hotel and spa in Surrey • Royal Berkshire - hotel in Ascot • South Lodge - hotel and spa in Sussex • The Castle Inn – pub in Wiltshire • The Manor House - hotel and golf club in Wiltshire
