Prices are available upon request and the incredible packages include butler service, a team of private chefs and housekeeping, with a dedicated concierge service to arrange anything you may wish to enjoy during your stay. How fancy!
Charles inherited Althorp in 1992, when he was 27 years old, and since then he has dedicated his life to restoring and showcasing the historic property.
The residence is about to undergo a major overhaul as Charles and his wife Karen have decided upon a five-year renovation project. Karen said: I’m sure it will take the better part of 5 years to complete, but in the end, the whole house will be refreshed. There’s very little of what Charles has done that I think needs changing, he worked with the amazing Edward Bulmer @edward_bulmer 30 years ago and they picked the most amazing palettes and did such a great job of bringing out the classic elegance of Althorp. Can’t wait to share the next chapter with you! More soon!"
