A unique view of Leonardslee

“Found just outside Horsham in West Sussex, this creation of Victorian plant-collector Sir Edmund Loder was closed to the public in 2010, then allowed to run wild – until South African entrepreneur Penny Streeter bought it in 2017 with the aim of restoring both the landscaped gardens and its 19th Century country house to their former glory.

It’s carefully marketed as a restaurant with rooms, and checking in feels more like arriving for a weekend at Downton Abbey than at a hotel.”
