The estate is family-owned and run, with Lara and her family tending to their flourishing kitchen garden and a lively menagerie of animals. Every detail has been thoughtfully curated to make your stay unforgettable. Picture yourself dining under the trees with a woodland feast prepared by MasterChef: The Professionals’ Chiara Tomasoni, indulging in an in-room massage from a therapist formerly of The Pig, taking a wild swim in the pond, or joining a creative workshop with the talented Painted Palms. Please enquire at the time of your booking.

Kitchen, Living & Dining Areas

Each of the rooms in Gilda’s House is wonderfully spacious, including the communal areas. There are two large living rooms with a wood burner apiece, a dining room with space for all the gang, and a traditional kitchen that’s dripping with charm.

The Bedrooms & Bathrooms

All of the bedrooms have their own distinct character, with playful touches like grand four-poster beds, intricate tapestries, and dramatic drapes. Two Super-King and two King-size bedrooms split across the ground and first floor sleep eight guests comfortably, while a secret alcove with a mattress upstairs is sure to be a hit with additional younger guests. There are two shower rooms on the ground floor and a bathroom with a shower head on the first floor.

Outside

Nestled within an eight-acre estate, Gilda’s House also has its own private garden complete with an outdoor dining set – perfect for al-fresco meals.

The estate is home to a large pond, and guests are free to enjoy a refreshing wild swim. Please note, under 14s are not permitted, and under 18s must be accompanied by an adult.

Dogs
