Our beautiful drawing room

The drawing room is used for receptions, recitals, seminars and informal break-out sessions. It contains fine portraiture of figures associated with the Lodge and a grand piano which is regularly used for concerts.

The Tapestry Hall

The tapestries in the Tapestry Hall date from 1726 and are based on a Flemish design. The Hall is used for receptions and for informal networking. With the magnificent doors in the background, the hall was used as one of the locations for the multi-award winning film - The King's Speech.

The Amy Buller Library

Our library contains many useful volumes, including gifts to the Lodge from the distinguished people who have been associated with it over the years. A quiet reading room adjoins the library.

The Cumberland Lodge Chapel

Cumberland Lodge is a place for contemplation. The Chapel is used both for religious observances and as a place for quiet reflection. The view from the neo-gothic bay window overlooks the lawn and offers a splendid vista of the land beyond.

Public Rooms

One of the joys of visiting the Lodge is wandering through the public areas. The house contains many fascinating architectural features, rooms of exquisite proportions and the gallery space houses around 3 temporary exhibitions a year.

The main Lodge has a number of rooms which lend themselves to discussions, including the Library (seats 22 board-room style).

For social events at the Lodge there is a large (44 feet in length) elegant Drawing Room containing a grand piano and many handsome portraits. Next to the Drawing Room is the Sitting Room, hung with royal pictures and (deliberately) containing the only television in the Lodge. Visitors

The Tapestry Hall, immediately behind the main staircase and reception desk, is hung with late seventeenth-century pastoral tapestries. Newspapers and magazines are available to read here and there is a fine Gothic doorway to the garden.
