restoration
Between 1999 and 2003, a major restoration project restored the grade II listed Kilworth House Hotel to its original beauty. This painstaking process involved working with English Heritage to preserve the star listing of the Victorian orangery - an exquisite construction featuring stained glass windows on most aspects, wrought iron finials on the roof and a striking original black and white mosaic floor.
Much work was also undertaken to remove false ceilings, staircases, windows and doors which had been added throughout the building's history, and which were not in keeping with the original architecture.
The renovations extended throughout the estate. An idyllic lake set within the grounds was extended and stocked to offer excellent fishing, while major trees were catalogued by species, age and height to facilitate ongoing care and to help create a refuge for local wildlife. And the bats that had made their home in various outbuildings were relocated to a custom-built roost.
So we can truly say all residents of Kilworth House Hotel enjoy first class accommodation and a good night's sleep!
