The family say, “Introduced to the family in 1984, three generations of our family have called Lordington Park home, and now we are opening our doors to you, we welcome muddy boots and worn jackets after a good adventure in the countryside here! The decision to create a boutique bed and breakfast here, allowed us to breathe a new lease of life into our family home and was a natural progression for us. Not only does the launch of the B&B give the house a new purpose, but it allows us to preserve it, keeping it in our family for years to come.”
Lordington Park already has a bright future ahead as a luxury, leading independent B&B with weddings confirmed for 2024, exclusive hires confirmed for the renowned Goodwood event season and the return of its popular intimate supper club.
