HISTORY OF CHARLTON HOUSE

The manor of Charlton was first mentioned in the Domesday Survey of 1086 and although it is said that merchant Roger Ames built Charlton House for his bride in 1630, architectural details point to a much earlier date.

Roger and Monty Saul, the creators of the world-renowned Mulberry Design Company, acquired the property in October 1996. They have since added an Orangery for private dining and meetings, 8 further bedrooms and a Spa.

The luxurious bedrooms have been individually designed to suit your personal requirements. Some are on a grand scale with sumptuous bathrooms and working fireplaces. Others offer a more intimate atmosphere and some even have their very own secret gardens providing a 'house party' atmosphere. Far from the 'look but don't touch' attitude of many country houses, Charlton now excudes an atmosphere of comfortable, informal splendour, where relaxation comes naturally.

The kitchen offers imaginative cuisine using the highest quality West Country produce, married with flavours from further afield.
