Sitting in the water at the edge of the swimming pool at the elegant Longueville Manor, everyday stresses seem to slip slowly from both body and mind. As the sun sets slowly behind swaying foliage, love doves flit from tree to tree giving a gentle cleansing effect. That's what a stay at this delightful rural hideaway has on an individual.

Steeped in history, the 30-room and suite luxury property was formerly owned by Reverend Bateman in 1863 and even had its own colombier, located behind the kitchen garden. Fun fact: it once housed over 700 pairs of pigeons. Bought by Sidney Lewis and his wife in 1948, (when it was a run down post-World War Two German-occupied building) it is now owned by Malcolm and Patricia Lewis.
