Carlton Manor House

Carlton Manor House is a privately owned Victorian Gothic-style English country house set amongst 250 acres of parkland in the beautiful Yorkshire landscape. It is home to Lord and Lady Gerald Fitzalan Howard and their three children and has passed down through the generations for centuries.

We offer exclusive use of the venue comprising three grand State Rooms, 16 individually and beautifully designed character bedrooms, a Minstrel’s Gallery, Bar, Entrance Halls, Armoury, Drawing Room and grounds. The State Rooms stretch across the length of the house (spanning 150 foot) and provide a regal Victorian ambience that is simply unforgettable.

The lavishly decorated and spacious bedrooms are all en suite or with a private bathroom and are located within separate wings and two tall towers. The rooms were recently redesigned by Lady Gerald herself and each one will take you back in time to a world of opulence and splendour.
