☀️ Mornings like these have us looking forward to welcoming you back for this year’s summer house opening!

Our Victorian Orangery is tucked away in the heart of Ugbrooke’s gardens and this beautiful 19th-century glasshouse is full of old-world charm. Once home to exotic citrus trees, it’s now a peaceful spot to wander, pause for a delicious Devon cream tea and take in the beauty of the surrounding lavender parterre and gardens. 💜

🔎🕯️ An evening of mystery awaits… and Moonstone Theatre Company is back!

Following a sell-out event last year, Ugbrooke once again sets the stage for an unforgettable immersive murder mystery experience.

Step into our historic ballroom — the very place where Agatha Miller first met Archibald Christie in 1912 — and prepare for a night where nothing is quite as it seems…

🥂 Begin with a sparkling drinks reception, followed by a beautifully curated three-course dinner, perfectly paired with Huxbear Vineyard. As each course is served… the intrigue deepens.

🔍 Expect twists, turns and a story that draws you in from the very first moment.

👗 Black tie, evening wear or a touch of Edwardian flair encouraged
💌 Exclusive guest accommodation rates available
🎟 Limited places — early booking essential

🦆✨ A little bit of cuteness at Ugbrooke…

We’ve spotted a duck nesting in the gardens just in front of the Orangery — and naturally, she’s been affectionately named… Jemima. 💛

She’s keeping cosy for now and we’ll be keeping a gentle eye on things from a distance as we wait to see what happens next… 🥚🐣

We’ll share updates as her story unfolds — hopefully with some tiny new arrivals before long.

Stay tuned… 🥹🌿💛

At Ugbrooke, the landscape isn’t just beautiful — it’s designed genius. Created by the legendary Lancelot ‘Capability’ Brown, this parkland was shaped to feel effortlessly natural… but every detail was carefully imagined.

💧 Two sweeping lakes? Once just the Ug Brook — transformed by Brown himself.
🌳 Towering oaks and chestnuts? Planted with purpose to frame views and create a dreamy, timeless feel.
📜 Original plans? Still hanging inside the house today.

What’s even more special… the landscape you see now remains true to Brown’s original vision, lovingly continued by the Clifford family 🌱

It’s not just a garden — it’s history, art and nature all in one.
