Unique English Manor House Tours
The English Manner
Unique and exclusive manor house tours in Britain, cultural experiences for discerning clients
Clean-up your act and experience the very best of what Britain has to offer, as you undertake exclusive tours and tutorials led by Britain’s cultural and artistic elite.
Whilst here at Unique Home Stays we’ve opened the doors to some of the most exclusive private house accommodation in Britain, The English Manner provides the informal study of English culture, led by Alexandra Messervy, formerly of the Household of Her Majesty the Queen.
Refine your social graces, brush up on your social skills in formal dining-party surroundings and learn to live in the accustomed fashions of these outstanding homes. Combine arts and culture with tutorials in gardens and design, needlework and tapestry, antiques, advanced cookery and wine or flowers and floral design, under the watchful eye of lecturers and tutors that are the very best in their fields.
And it’s not all airs and graces; outdoor enthusiasts can select traditional country pursuits including shooting, fishing, golf and other activities.
