A grade-two listed Georgian country house that simply oozes character and charm
Garthmyl Hall is a grade-two listed Georgian country house that simply oozes sophisticated, charm and character that are evident throughout the entire building and the grounds.
The Hall was originally built in 1859 by architect James K Colling for Major-General Gold. Colling was given a free hand when building Garthmyl Hall, using lavish gilding and plasterwork for the ceiling decoration, and ornamental terracotta on the exterior. To ensure that this amazing architecture lived on, the Pugh family who bought Garthmyl Hall in October 2015 began an extensive restoration project inside and out. The transformation that Garthmyl Hall has undergone over the past few years has been nothing short of miraculous, with the Hall today being one of the most beautifully finished, true to character wedding venues in the country.
A magical moment that happened during the renovation was when builders discovered a letter stuck up one of the chimneys inside the Hall. It turned out to be a letter to Santa from the previous owner when she was a little girl. Below you can see the letter, which later led to the very same girl (Mrs Christine Churchill now aged 84) opening the Hall with Julia Pugh back in 2015.
The hall is very much in use as a wedding venue, this means that sometimes you will not be permitted to wander in the gardens however this will be discussed at the point of booking your stay. The hall itself is private however if there is no function on you're welcome to enjoy the gardens.
