HOMEWOOD has been a family home ever since it was built in 1901, for the Dowager Lady Lytton. It was designed for her by Edwin Lutyens, who would later become her son-in-law, when he married her younger daughter, Emily. His four children spent most of their holidays in this house, as their parents were either travelling or felt that the children would benefit from the country air. Consequently, the Lutyens family were always very fond of Homewood. After Lady Lytton’s death the house stayed in the family, usually rented out, until 1973 when it was sold to the Pollock-Hill family.

Homewood has changed very little since it was built, however, it does have a few modern amenities, and a lot more bathrooms!

We have ample parking in front of the house.

We do not provide evening meals but we are happy to arrange bookings for dinner and taxis if required. We provide written instructions on how to get to the pubs and restaurants we recommend.
