Country Pursuits

The great outdoors, at its finest

Set within over 120 acres of parkland, woodland, and gardens on the edge of the Yorkshire Wolds, Hotham Hall Estate is a natural home for sporting retreats and countryside gatherings of every kind.

Why Hotham Hall

A sporting retreat unlike any other in Yorkshire

Hotham Hall sits in some of the best countryside in East Yorkshire, with over 120 acres of its own parkland, gardens, and woodland, whilst the warmth and grandeur of the Hall and The Carriage House ensure that every retreat is as comfortable as it is memorable.

For shooting parties visiting the renowned shoots of the surrounding area, Hotham Hall offers an ideal base. Your group has the house to itself, with comfortable rooms and our own kitchen team looking after you.

East Yorkshire is one of the most celebrated destinations in England for game shooting, and Hotham Hall Estate sits at its heart. Exclusive use of the Hall and The Carriage House provides a private and luxurious retreat between days, with Colonel Jack's Bar the natural gathering point for the evening. From arrival drinks to a formal dinner in the King Edward Ballroom, our in-house team arranges every element of your stay to the highest standard, working with you in advance so that all you need to do is enjoy the experience.
