Individually designed rooms, a warm personal welcome and a stay filled with character.
There are two individually designed king-size bedrooms together with a twin bedroom. Each has been lovingly furnished with elegant fabrics, quality furnishings and carefully chosen finishing touches, together with an en-suite bathroom, coffee pod machine and complimentary Wi-Fi.
Guests are welcome to enjoy my award-winning garden, which forms part of my home and has been lovingly designed and cared for by me. It provides a quiet place to sit with a morning coffee or simply enjoy the peaceful surroundings.

Whether visiting Woburn, exploring the surrounding countryside or attending a local event, guests enjoy the comfort and character of a welcoming private home. I take great pleasure in personally welcoming guests and providing a peaceful, beautifully maintained environment.
Rich colour, striking fabrics, collected antiques and thoughtful comforts give every room its own character. This is the pleasure of staying in a carefully loved home rather than an anonymous hotel.
Discover the rooms →The name is more than a literary reference. From the Dickens Room and Penguin mugs to the Miss Havisham Bathroom, the story runs playfully through the house.
Great Expectations are what we hope every guest discovers: a warm welcome, a memorable home and a stay that feels genuinely individual.

A house called Havisham could hardly have an ordinary bathroom. Grey geometric tiles create a dramatic backdrop for framed portraits of Miss Havisham and images inspired by Great Expectations.
Unexpected, witty and entirely individual, it is one of those details guests remember long after their stay.
Most bathrooms stop at good tiles. This one comes with Great Expectations.

From individually designed bedrooms to artwork, antiques and playful details, Havisham House is full of things to discover.
At Havisham House, lighting is part of the art. The dramatic landing pendant and its matching wall piece sweep through the space like ribbons of metal, bringing movement and theatre to the house.
Chosen to speak to one another across the different floors, they are practical works of art—and unmistakably individual.
Known affectionately as Little Stanley, our charming French Bulldog has taken up residence—and is already proving himself an expert in guest relations, garden inspections and quality control of every cosy corner.
Small in stature but grand in personality, Stanley can often be found supervising from a sunny spot or greeting visitors with enthusiasm. Guests are warmly invited to say hello if they spot His Lordship during their stay.
