It still retains many of its original features including a Minstrels Gallery, a glorious Jacobean fireplace and mellow oak panelling in the magnificent Great Hall. Today you can enjoy a quintessentially English Afternoon Tea by the roaring fire and think of bygone days. It is set in 8 acres of pretty landscaped gardens adjoining the churchyard on the south side, and overlooking Letchworth Golf Club. There are 87 fully refurbished, comfortable bedrooms and suites. read more
