Our history

The Royal Hunting Lodge

Great Fosters Hotel was built in 1550, and originally served as a stately home and royal hunting lodge. The hotel’s unique heritage can be seen in the mullioned windows, topiary mazes, Saxon moat, and sundial that Sir Francis Drake, the famous English explorer, gifted to the estate. Over the course of its 400-year history, the hotel has hosted a number of legendary guests, including Orson Welles and Charlie Chaplin.

Facilities & More

Great Fosters offers a Michelin-starred, AA rosette award-winning restaurant called The Tudor Room, as well as a contemporary dining area called The Estate Grill. You can also enjoy a traditional Sunday lunch, afternoon tea, drinks in the Cocktail Bar, and al fresco dining in the beautiful gardens. The Great Fosters Estate is something of a playground for all the family. With 55 acres of gardens, studded with sculptures and dotted with games, there is much more to explore. From the piggery to the bee hives to the kitchen gardens, there’s plenty to excite the green-fingered or little ones excited to see the animals. For the sporty among us, there are trim trails and cycle routes (with rather distinguished Great Fosters bicycles available to hire). Tennis is also available nearby, as well as the Egham Orbit which has first-class fitness facilities and an indoor swimming pool. Last but certainly not least, the Estate also boasts a superb art-deco heated outdoor pool, which is open during the summer months.
