Dillington House

Dillington House is a stone manor built with large windows and balanced proportions, set within extensive grounds. The gardens were created during major renovation work in the 1980s and add to the property's overall appearance and setting.

The property first appeared in the Domesday Book in 1086 and later came under the control of the Speke family. This family oversaw the estate for several centuries, shaping its development from the 1400s onward.

The name reflects an earlier owner and echoes through the building's design and layout. Today, visitors experience how the house remains tied to its landholding heritage and the families who shaped it over centuries.

The estate offers various accommodation options across its grounds, ranging from single rooms to larger family spaces. Visitors should plan ahead to learn which areas are accessible and how to best experience the property.

A large chestnut tree on the grounds once hosted a notable guest for rest and refreshment in 1680. The tree was lost during a storm in 1897, making it an overlooked part of the estate's past.
