West Lodge Park Hotel, Hadley Wood

Histoire

The lodge was built around the 1400's to house the keepers who looked after the woods and deer in the royal hunting grounds favoured by the Kings and Queens of England, including Elizabeth I.

In 1838 the lodge was rebuilt however, original features still remain such as the entrance hall, reception area and panelling around the main staircase. The lodge then was used a private house and private residential hotel until Edward Beale bought the property in 1945. It was then re-designed, extended and the famous Arboretum was planted. After sixty years the hotel is still is owned and run by the Beale Family who has continued to change and enhance the hotel.
