La propriété — Wroxall Abbey
Wroxall Abbey is a centuries-old manor set in 27 acres of Warwickshire parkland, with a 12th-century priory ruin in the garden. The lobby sits in the original carriage entrance with flagstone floors and a wood-burning stove, mixing creaky character with faded country-house charm. It suits travellers who want a quiet, atmospheric stop-off near the M40, not a polished luxury retreat.
Chroniques de Wroxall
Wroxall is a small village in the Forest of Arden. Its recorded history goes back to the Domesday Book, but the abbey itself was founded c.1142 as a Benedictine nunnery. After the Dissolution, it became a private estate, and the existing house was rebuilt in the Victorian Gothic style around 1866. The village never grew into a town; its identity today is rural and residential, with tourists coming specifically for the abbey’s grounds and the adjacent St Leonard’s Church.

Your Perfect Room
