Nestled in the Surrey Hills, Polesden offers the perfect opportunity to unwind. Mrs Greville, an ambitious Edwardian hostess, chose it as the ideal place for entertaining and relaxing with friends. And this is what we invite you to do with us, 100 years on.

The gardens offer something for every season, and to help you enjoy the countryside, we have geocaching and waymarked walks. The house with its rich colleciton of art and stories provides a fascinating insight into the Edwardian era and is open daily from the beginning of March until the end of Octboer or for events at other times of the year.
