A bit of an Old Master

Welcome to the holiday home with its own unique selling point. The art on the walls at Morland Manor is fine, fun and fabulous. Named after the 18th-century painter, dealer and restorer George Morland, this five-bedroom Northamptonshire gem is a bit of an Old Master itself.

Part of a sprawling estate commissioned in 1900, Morland House sleeps ten plus a couple of well-mannered pooches, with views across the cricket pitch. You can stare at it all day long, but far better to get down there for the volleyball, badminton and rounders, all wrapped up with steaks from the sizzling Weber barbecue.

Inside, with the paintings watching your every move, all is panelled, flagged, marbled and herringboned to perfection. Gather in the sitting room with its sculptures and wall panels, catch up and chill out over movies streamed on the Gigaclear broadband. Eat around the antique furniture in the divine dining room.

Cook on the range in the mod-cons kitchen or call up the pro chefs while you head to the main house for snooker and pool. Walk the woodlands, discover the themed shepherds’ huts. Shoot clay, fire arrows, build dens. Join the county set. And the paintings? They want to stay right where they are. Who can blame them?

Gardens and grounds

Plenty outside space here for kids to de-steam and dogs to snuffle in the large private garden and woodland area. There’s even more on the full-size cricket field that’s ripe for ball games and kite-flying. Pop out there for rounders, table tennis and volleyball.

Like a bit of quirk? You’ve got your own hand-built shepherds’ hut in which to recharge. When your social battery’s topped up, fire up the Weber barbecue and get around the large outdoor dining table for steak and salad in the sunshine.

Living spaces

You could lose hours exploring this Grade II listed manor. Each room offers exquisite artworks and antique treasures. There’s space for ten here to kick back among the antique furniture, wall panels and herringbone floors, all in a house named after a famed 18th-century painter.

Catch a movie in the main living room or escape to the study to recharge and reply to emails. Keep Instagram enthralled over the Gigaclear fibre-optic broadband. Chill out in the shepherds’ hut. Get competitive in the games room in the main house over darts, snooker and pool.

Cooking and dining

Feel at home on the range cooker and induction hob. Fill the fridge-freezer with yummy stuff from Ocado, Waitrose and Trendall’s butchers. Get your wine from Amp’s. Prefer a woodland walk to basting, blending and boiling? Private Chef Marcel or Beetroot Catering are on hand for a one-off celebration or fully catered break.

Up for a takeaway? Consider Curry Passion Oundle for top-rated Indian (and pizza), or Barnwell Pizza and Grill for pizza, burgers and rotisserie chicken. Eat in the panelled dining room or al-fresco around the ten-seat table. Break out the Weber barbecue in the summer sunshine.

Head out and tuck in to traditional pub fare at the King’s Arms in Polebrook or try The Talbot in Oundle for pan-fried lamb’s liver or blade of beef. Salerno’s in Oundle serves traditional and modern Italian cuisine daily with ingredients both local and from Italy. Or try Dexter’s for seafood paella or seared tuna steak.

Get your fill of biryani and rogan josh at Onkar Indian. Enjoy waterside dining at the Tap and Kitchen on Mediterranean seabass, ravioli of goat’s curd or salt-baked swede. Tuck into poached salmon, scallop mousseline or roasted celeriac at The Falcon Inn. Or get sophisticated on the signature dishes at Hambleton Hall.

What people say

What people say

Charming, historical and very comfortable house in beautiful and quiet location. - Andrew
Morland Manor was the perfect countryside retreat for a great weekend away with friends. The house is beautiful, and its comfortable, elegant and very tastefully decorated rooms are a wonderful backdrop for a sociable time with friends and/or family. The setting is equally picturesque. It's situated in a private countryside estate that gives easy access to some lovely walks, as well as the nearby Oundle for provisions. The customer service was also excellent by the friendly and attentive house managers. Highly recommended. - Mark
We just spent the most magical weekend at Morland Manor. We had great service from booking, welcoming arrival, help during our stay, through to an accommodating check-out. The (impeccably decorated) house met all of our needs and the grounds were literally magical (the Fairy Garden is whimsical and what all children's dreams are made of!). The Shepherds’ huts were so creative and thoughtful, the den building area was such fun, the sports field was perfectly stocked and the short walk to the local pub couldn’t have been easier. To top it off, the weather was spot on, and made the bluebells (in full bloom) shine so brightly in the woods. We WILL be back! Thanks Carol and Edo for all your help! - Larissa
