Broughton Sanctuary’s custodian Roger Tempest, “To call one of the UK’s finest historic houses ‘home’ for a week or two is a truly special experience. Broughton Hall is a quintessentially English country estate, steeped in history, and with the best state of the art facilities. Our clients love it - and we love looking after them - ensuring their stay is as memorable as the estate itself.”

Dating back to 1597, Broughton Hall has 15 double bedrooms and two single bedrooms in the main Hall, along with two wing apartments offering five additional bedrooms, all with individual character and design. Large groups are accommodated comfortably, making it the perfect venue for weddings, milestone celebrations and corporate retreats.
