cool greens and warming golds
like everyone in the hospitality industry,
it has been a tumultuous year and a
half. Having purchased the property
in 2018, they took six months to work
closely with listed buildings so they
knew exactly how they should proceed.
Having then gone as fast as possible to
get the place refurbished and open to the
public over the following nine months,
on the eve of throwing their doors open
to their first customers, Covid struck.
Like so many others, the pandemic
has played havoc with George and
Charlotte’s plans. The house, having
taken up a considerable budget due
to its terrible condition and its listed
status, has had to sit with its brandnew
doors shut for most of 2020 and
into 2021. It’s a story that will strike
a chord with many business owners
around the country. Despite the trials
of the past eighteen months, Charlotte
and George are incredibly upbeat and
now, with the country opening up once
again, the couple are looking forward
to welcoming guests to Moore House.
The almost hidden entrance, off a
small private gated garden, leads into
a cosy reception hall. A vintage French
shop counter and bespoke artwork
welcomes you. Behind its understated
façade, an incredible labyrinth of space
opens us, almost Tardis-like, offering
seven generous double bedrooms and
bathrooms and a fabulous public area.
