Enjoy a private tour and lunch at Chavenage house where you will feel the warmest of welcomes, and dine with the family as they reveal further history and anecdotes of the house from throughout the ages.

Chavenage House is not only a stunning Elizabethan Manor House, but it is also one of the stars of the Poldark series. The family are delightful and will share some of the incredible histories that have taken place behind the incredible façade.

Henry VIII gave the house to the family of his wife, Jane Seymour, although it was returned to the crown after they were executed for treason a few years later.

Oliver Cromwell even has a bedroom named after him following his stay during the Civil War.

Ironically in the 16th century, it was thought that no member of the royal family would want to live somewhere so remote as Gloucestershire, yet in the 21st century, Chavenage is surrounded by members of the royal family. King Charles’ Highgrove Estate is just a couple of miles away and Princess Anne lives at Gatcombe Park, a few miles in the other direction.
