Somerley is one of England's best kept secrets and it's hardly surprising. This beautiful stately home, sitting in 7,000 acres of Hampshire countryside, has never been open to the public.

Offering total peace and seclusion, the Somerley Estate including Old Somerley is just 90 minutes from London and 20 minutes from Bournemouth and Southampton airports. Somerley has been in the Normanton family for five generations and continues to be a much-loved home. The 6th Earl of Normanton, the current custodian, agreed in recent years for Somerley, and the Estate, to be used for very special events on an exclusive use basis.

The spectacular house sits majestically above hundreds of acres of parkland through which the River Avon wends its way. While providing breathtaking rooms, Somerley still retains all the warmth and friendliness of a family home. With a license for Civil Ceremonies, the house provides a magical setting for every bride's dream wedding.

The total privacy and seclusion of the Estate affords an unrivalled venue for corporate events. Somerley offers total discretion for business professionals wanting to do serious negotiations in gracious surroundings, while enjoying the ultimate in personal attention. Somerley's in-house team provides the most discerning guest with immaculate service, exquisite cuisine and fine wines.

Old Somerley, situated in the middle of the Somerley Estate is also licensed for Civil Ceremonies or can be used for private dining. The newly renovated building retains the original features of wooden beams and rustic charm with a contemporary style.
