Littlecote House Hotel

About the venue

HISTORY The Roman remains, including the Orpheus Mosaic, have been found on the site which is thought to have been on an early supply route.

The original Littlecote House was built during the 13th and 14th centuries as part of a medieval settlement and was inhabited by the de Calstone family from around 1290. When William Darrell married Elizabeth de Calstone, he inherited the house and his family went on to build the original brick mansion in the early 16th century. Littlecote has seen an impressive line-up of royalty pass through its doors. This is where Henry VIII courted Jane Seymour. Where Elizabeth I visited John Popham, her Attorney-General, in 1601. Alexander Popham converted the former Medieval Hall into The Cromwellian Chapel. And the Popham?s royal guest list grew increasingly impressive: Charles II and William of Orange all visited the house. In 1804, Littlecote passed into the hands of the Leyborne-Pophams. Whether it be enjoying a relaxing break with friends or entertaining staff, Littlecote House offers the perfect refuge from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
