Newhouse is a Georgian country estate in Mersham, near Ashford, with its original fireplaces, grand sash windows and high ceilings still in place. It sleeps up to 35 across 15 individually designed bedrooms in the house and flat, which makes it one of the largest houses in the collection.

It is built for the big occasions: the milestone birthday, the family reunion, the weekend that has been talked about for years. Everyone under one roof, with a table long enough to seat them.
