Introduction
Wolsey Lodges Ltd. is a non-profit making organisation owned by the members of the group. The Company was founded in 1981 by the East Anglia Tourist Board with thirteen homes. Membership rapidly expanded and today there are 169 members throughout Britain and 12 in continental Europe. Wolsey Lodges have independent inspectors who visit members and new applicants. This is a continuous process as we are proud of our standards and wish to maintain them.
Wolsey Lodges is a collection of private homes, where the standard of hospitality, the location and the individuality of each house and host, has earned its unique place within the market today.The name Wolsey Lodge recalls Henry VIII's Lord Chancellor, Cardinal Wolsey. When he toured the realm in the 16th century, he expected to receive generous hospitality at any suitable country house along his way. This is the service and quality our lodges will want to offer you, wherever you travel within the UK or Europe.
Guests are entertained as family and friends. The experience of a home cooked meal in a friendly dinner party atmosphere in many of the great Wolsey Lodge dining rooms is one that can't be missed. You may also have the companionship of other guests and in some houses the hosts will dine with you. Not all Wolsey Lodges provide an evening meal but the hosts will be very happy to advise you on where to eat in the area and will usually be able to make a table reservation for you if required.
Wolsey Lodges vary from very grand country houses, Elizabethan manor houses, Georgian mansions, Victorian country rectories, to lovingly restored cottages. Each have their individual attributes and features, whether it is the history, the location, the surroundings or the food. Most importantly, all Wolsey Lodge hosts invite you into their homes because they want to share them with you. They are all dedicated to making your stay as enjoyable as possible.
