Overview
At Wotton House, we make every guest and team member feel part of our story – like anything is possible. Our space is your space, and we redefine what it means to offer bespoke experiences. Our experiences are crafted exclusively for you. We offer friendly, welcoming and authentic service that is personal to everyone, with little touches that make all guests and staff feel wanted. We make people feel special. They deserve to be here.
The answer is yes, what is the question? We are architects of innovation; a little bit quirky and eccentric with a can-do attitude that helps to craft different and inventive experiences for all our guests. Wotton House is steeped in history and natural wonder, and we want everyone who visits to explore our story and become part of it. Botanicals are in our fabric and everything we do reflects this. We are aware of our impact on the world around us, and our choices reflect this. We are proud to have a Green Key award, and we work closely with our local community and hyper local suppliers when we can. We are brave and we have a sense of humour – we are the flamingo in a flock of pigeons. Everything we do is Wonderfully Wotton.
