The Week at Burtown25th – 31st May

The weather has turned glorious and Burtown feels transformed.

The gardens are entering one of their richest moments of the year — herbaceous borders bursting into colour, wisteria still in bloom and morning light dancing across the natural pool.

Inside The Green Barn, Saturday evening dining continues, while Friday welcomes the return of Tapas and live jazz.

We’re also reflecting on a wonderful Buskers Ball last weekend — a day of music, atmosphere and celebration.

And for those looking for a slower escape, a handful of June stays remain available.

We hope to see you soon.

The Week at Burtown
18th – 24th May

May has arrived in full force at Burtown, and suddenly the gardens feel almost Mediterranean in their abundance.

The pink chestnut trees are in blossom, the horse chestnuts tower luminous above the house, and every corner of the landscape seems to be changing by the day.

Across the estate, terraces are filling once again with lunches, long evenings and gatherings beneath canvas and climbing wisteria. New seasonal dishes are arriving onto the menu, Friday evening tapas returns, and preparations are underway for this Saturday’s Buskers Ball celebrating Bob Dylan.

From garden walks and midweek lunches to weekend stays in The Stable Yard, it feels like one of the most beautiful moments of the season to visit.

Open Wednesday – Sunday

Spring has fully arrived at Burtown.

The gardens are shifting daily — from blossom and new leaf to the first harvests coming through the polytunnel. What we are growing is now beginning to shape what we are serving, with new dishes built around the season.

Across the estate, there’s a gentle rhythm returning — long tables in the restaurant, evenings starting slowly in the Pantry, and quieter moments in the gardens and by the water.

We are open Bank Holiday Monday and Thursday to Sunday this week.

Join us.

Bluebell began in Provence, where, as a small child, she learned how to make lavender bottles by hand. She sold them by walking up and down our restaurant, full of confidence, curiosity and calm determination.
Nine years later, that small beginning has grown into something very real.

Today, we’re so proud to launch Bluebell’s new aromatherapy range, with new blends, refined packaging and a brand-new website. Still rooted in nature, still made with intention — now shaped by years of learning, creativity and care.

Bluebell is currently studying business and fashion in Madrid, and this new chapter feels like a natural evolution of a dream that’s been quietly growing for a long time.
You can now explore the full collection online — and in person at The Green Barn.

🌿 Hand-blended
🌿 Thoughtfully sourced
🌿 Made to bring calm into everyday life
