Enjoy an Edwardian estate designed as the perfect party location

Polesden Lacey is a beautiful country house and gardens only four miles from Dorking and junction 9 of the M25, and a great place to come with your friends and family.  It was bought by Mrs Greville, an Edwardian hostess, in 1906 and re-modelled to be the perfect setting for her famous weekend parties where she entertained royalty, politicians and the best of society.  Lose yourself on the estate with its many walks and stunning views across the Surrey Hills, or marvel at the lavishly decorated rooms in the house.
