Hedsor House is an historic country Estate, dating back to 1166 under the ownership of the de Hedsor family. The House was originally designed for King George III and Queen Charlotte, who were entranced by the beautiful surrounding countryside overlooking the River Thames, yet affording easy access to London. The House has always been a place to enjoy life, see and be seen, with a long and illustrious guest list including Kings, Queens, Princes and Princesses, who would regularly frequent the house from nearby Windsor Castle.

The current house was completed in 1868, after the previous building was destroyed by fire, a pioneer of style at that time being modelled on an Italian Villa rather than the quintessential Georgian style prevalent in the 19th century. Queen Victoria was a regular visitor to the Hedsor Estate, fond of taking afternoon tea in the beautiful domed centre hall, captivated by the unique architecture and beautiful grounds.
