The 16th-century Wotton House Country Estate Hotel is set in the beautiful Surrey hills, offering a tranquil countryside escape where guests can relax and enjoy its enchanting history. The magnificent estate is set on 13 acres of 17th-century manicured Italian gardens. Grab a pair of hunter wellies from reception and explore the incredible grounds that are adorned with Roman temples and original mosaics. After a long day of exploring, guests can relax on the 1877 Bar terrace sipping cocktails and taking in the view of the gardens, followed by dinner under an olive tree at the 1877 Restaurant. Wotton House has the kind of welcoming charm that can only be expected from a hotel that has remained in the same family for more than 400 years.
Wotton House dates back to the 16th century when the Evelyn family bought the estate. Since then, the estate has been passed through several generations of the Evelyn family, who still own it today. Wotton Estate was passed to John Evelyn, a famous botanist and arboriculture expert, from his father, Richard Evelyn. John is responsible for the incredible gardens at Wotton House, which are one of the main features of the Estate today. John had spent much of his youth travelling across Europe, and he became mesmerized by the Italian Renaissance gardens he visited in Italy. He then returned to Wotton House and built its very own Italian Garden and temple adorned with Roman temples and original mosaics. It was designed in 1652 by his cousin, Captain George Evelyn, and is one of the first gardens of its kind in the United Kingdom. The gardens at the property have been protected and listed as Grade II, adding to its incredible uniqueness.
