Thoresby Hall Hotel & Spa

A magnificent stately home on the edge of Sherwood Forest! Indulge in this grade 1 listed hotel with a beautiful spa and leisure club.




Thoresby Hall is a magnificent grade 1 listed building. It is the third building on this estate. In 1598 the first mansion was built and was the property of William Lodge, Alderman of London. In the 1680s the 4th Earl of Kingston altered the house. Sadly in 1745 the house burnt down in a horrific fire. The second house was then built by the 2nd Duke of Kingston in 1761 and took ten years to build in Palladian style. The present building, the third to be built in the Park, was designed by the great Victorian architect Anthony Salvin and built between 1864 and 1871 in the Elizabethan style.

The title Earl Manvers became extinct on the death of the 6th Earl in 1955. A Year later a decision was made by his widow to open Thoresby Hall to the public and she continued to reside until she died in 1984 at the age of 94.

In 1989 the house was bought as a project to turn the house into a 5 Star Hotel, which it failed to achieve and the house was repossessed. A second attempt in 1990 to make the project work in converting it to a 5 Star Hotel failed; the plan was to keep the state rooms open to the public. Only six months later, after launching the project of C.G Whittaker Properties Ltd, the firm went bankrupt.

In the 1990’s a request was put forward and was initially declined by the National Trust and was then put on the English Heritage ‘At Risk’ Register.

Warner Holidays came to its rescue in 1998 and bought the house for £1 million sterling. It was then transformed from a derelict stately home to the luxury hotel it is now. In total £21 million sterling was spent on renovating the site.

In the year 2000 Thoresby hall was officially open to the public by the daughter of Countess Manvers, Lady Rozelle Raynes as a Warner Holiday Hotel.

The grounds surrounding the hotel extend just over thirty acres and a further 12.000 acres belong to Thoresby estate and this is only a small fraction to what was owned by the earlier members of the Pierrepont family, not only locally but in Somerset and numerous other areas in the England.
