Historiallinen hotelli
Alueella on asuttu jo 2000 vuotta sitten. Kiinteistön omisti alun perin The Shirleys, yksi Warwickshiren vanhimmista suvuista, jonka juuret ulottuvat yli tuhannen vuoden taakse. Vuosien mittaan vanha kartano purettiin ja tilalle rakennettiin pienempiä taloja talteenotetuista materiaaleista. Vuonna 1935 kartanosta tuli hoitokoti ja toisen maailmansodan aikainen vankileiri, ja vuonna 1983 aloitettiin restaurointityöt, jotta se voitaisiin muuttaa luksushotelliksi.
