From Humble Beginnings ...

The History of Park Farm

The original Georgian farmhouse was purchased by the Gowing Family in 1958.  Over the years they have tastefully transformed it from a Dairy Farm, offering farm holidays, into one of the region's leading hotels.

Until 1981, meals were prepared in the old farmhouse kitchen.  This was then refurbished and expanded for the opening of the public restaurant in the original Georgian farmhouse.

In 1988, Ten Executive Bedrooms were added to the hotel and in 1991 the Leisure Centre and Conference & Banqueting Suites were completed.

In 2000, a further Twelve Luxury Bedrooms were added to the hotel.

During 2003 a new state-of-the-art Kitchen was completed and 2004 saw the opening of a brand new Restaurant inter-connecting to the existing Georgian Restaurant in the farmhouse.

2005 saw another vast development; a complete renovation of the Lounge Bar, giving a modern, comfortable meeting and dining area.

2008 welcomed the completion of 11 new air-conditioned bedrooms along with a new conference and banqueting suite.
