Adventures for<br />
mini explorers...<br />
The Petwood Hotel has long been a<br />
favourite venue for family get-togethers and<br />
the gardens certainly contribute to this.<br />
“I love it when guests tell us of their childhood<br />
memories of the Petwood”, says Managing Director<br />
Emma Brealey.<br />
“In some cases, guests vividly recall memories<br />
from decades ago exploring the rhododendron<br />
tunnels after a family Sunday lunch with parents and<br />
grandparents. More recent stories include going on<br />
a Gruffalo hunt around the woods, or discovering<br />
‘an enchanted forest’. It reminds us that a garden<br />
designed over 100 years ago for a wealthy<br />
Baroness has inspired many young, creative minds<br />
and provided enjoyment for thousands of people<br />
over the years”, Emma continued.<br />
It is hoped that this enjoyment will continue with<br />
the exciting restoration of the gardens this year,<br />
where the vision is to return the grounds to their<br />
Edwardian splendour as designed by the famous<br />
landscape architect Harold Peto. The first phase of<br />
the project completed in April and has been very well<br />
received by guests and visitors. The next phase will<br />
DAYS OUT<br />
The Petwood Hotel<br />
commence at the end of August which will<br />
see the reinstatement of the Temple of<br />
Atalanta, a classical domed structure flanked<br />
by rose-covered pergolas, plus repairs to the<br />
formal terrace and relandscaping at the front<br />
of the hotel.<br />
Emma concluded, “Whether providing a<br />
beautiful setting for a relaxing drink on the<br />
terrace or the perfect backdrop for family<br />
photographs, we want the gardens to be<br />
enjoyed by everyone.”<br />
