About this property
Christmas at The Dorset Manor
Celebrate Christmas 2025 in timeless elegance at The Old Rectory, a beautifully designed late Georgian country manor nestled beside the River Stour in the tranquil village of Stour Provost.
With five luxurious king bedrooms (sleeping up to 10, or 14 by arrangement), this exquisite home offers grand entertaining spaces — from the formal dining room and piano hall to the cinema room with its own bar.
Step outside to 5 acres of gardens with fountains, a tennis court, croquet lawn, and river views. Dine on the terrace, enjoy festive gatherings by the fire, or take a winter walk through the grounds.
Available exclusively for Christmas and New Year stays — the perfect setting for a truly unforgettable holiday in the Dorset countryside.
