Where’s the best photo spot at Sulgrave Manor?
Everywhere! Ok.. so to be more specific, the Peacock topiary by the manor porch is stunning for single or group shots. The soft pastel flowers of the Rose garden, the romantic wildflower meadow in the orchard and the vast precision lines of the Bowling Green lawns adds a formality and a touch of class to wedding photos.

Our anglo-american connections. For anyone that loves history or has a strong link to the USA, we are the ancestral home of George Washington, First President of the United States of America.

What part of your business are you most proud of?
All of it! I think my absolute favourite has to be our garden. We've worked really hard the last couple of years to bring the garden back to life. There's so many beautiful ares and of different types to enjoy; the orchard, the Bowling Green lawns, the Rose garden and now we even have a natural woodland play area next to our paddock to enjoy.
