One Unforgettable Experience, Two Extraordinary Estates

Welcome to The Tawny, a hotel like no other, where nature, luxury, and heartfelt hospitality come together. The Tawny spans two neighbouring estates, in a particularly beautiful part of Staffordshire’s Churnet Valley.

Our Wingspan Collection of Shepherds Huts, Treehouses, Lookouts, Boathouses, and Retreats can be found on the Consall Estate, which is also home to our award-winning restaurant, The Plumicorn, which has three AA Rosettes.

Within the adjoining Basford Estate is our luxury serviced holiday homes, the Fledglings and The Tawny’s Owlets which offer a charming, self-catering sanctuary for those seeking a more intimate countryside stay.

Luxury, Untamed

Come and see why your first visit to The Tawny rarely ends up being your last.

A three-Rosette restaurant. A warm and friendly team. A heated outdoor pool, and your own private space, woven into the landscape with our signature William Holland copper bath waiting outside.

If you crave experience over itinerary; breathe deeper in nature, soak slower under starlight, and find magic in the in-between moments you'll love The Tawny, where luxury lives a little wilder.
