About us
Our Story
intro
From boutique luxury, in the architecture-driven Clifftops, to laidback luxury at the lodges and the elegant luxury of the Castle, the collection has something everyone.
Our Story
We became custodians of the castle when it was purchased by Colonial Leisure Ltd in 2011 and, since then, we have expanded the estate to include our lodges, the park and the Hayloft, and in 2020 we built Clifftops.
But the history of the estate stretches further back. Referenced by Thomas Hardy, and visited by Churchill, Eisenhower and de Gaulle, the castle and its estate has a rich history stretching back to the late 1700’s. The castle was built at the end of the 18th century, by John Penn, Governor of Portland and his grandson, William who went on to found Pennsylvania in the USA.
We may not have been in residence since it was built, but on our watch the Estate has become an estate like no other. We pride ourselves in offering a completely bespoke service, based on an intimate understanding of our guests’ needs.
Our Team
Our team is always on hand to help our guests plan their perfect visit to the Estate. From the first contact to the time we say farewell, we hope to exceed your expectations of what a exclusive Estate like ours can really be.
