Any guests seeking a more intimate retreat can stay in one of the three cottage rooms on the grounds, offering cosy, private accommodation while keeping everyone close to the main house and event spaces. These rooms suit small families or couples who prefer a quieter base during the celebrations.
And the cottage rooms give you flexibility to mix accommodation types across the estate, so you can cater for differing needs and budgets while ensuring your whole party enjoys Carlton Manor together; ask the team about allocations and local supplier recommendations.
Glamping Pods
With twelve glamping pods available, you can host larger numbers who prefer a relaxed, festival-style stay on the lawns – ideal for friends and younger guests who want to be part of the late-night atmosphere beneath the stars.
