Since being sold out of the Blackmore Park Estate in 1919, the hotel has welcomed an array of esteemed visitors during its history, including renowned composer Edward Elgar in the 1920s, former prime minister Margaret Thatcher and Charlie Watts from the Rolling Stones. We recently completed the second stage of a £2.5m refurbishment programme with interiors showcasing the property’s Georgian heritage with a nod to the contemporary, created in partnership with Nelson Design.
