Set amidst 38 acres of gardens and parkland, offering tranquility and elegance, Rookery Hall was built in 1816 as the residence of wealthy landowner William Hilton Cooke.

Since then it has gone through many transformations; first from Georgian mansion into a chateau and then to luxury hotel, which it has been for over forty years. Each iteration has left its mark, with stuccoed ceilings, wood panelling and ornate details to please even the most discerning of eye.

In 2001, the Rookery Hall joined Hand Picked Hotels, where it's charm has flourished and luxury service enhanced. State-of-the-art conference facilities and a luxury health spa were the latest additions, bringing modern touches that perfectly complement the Hall's historic architecture features.

Our Story

Hand Picked Hotels was founded in 2001 by owner, Chairman and CEO, Julia Hands MBE. Julia’s love of historical buildings, the English countryside, local food, and good wine inspired her dream to own a collection of hotels that would celebrate these passions, and invite others to share in them. It was important to Julia from the outset that guests could feel at home at Hand Picked, whether it was for a romantic escape, a corporate retreat, a magical wedding celebration or a chance to simply enjoy some rest and relaxation.

Hand selecting unique properties from Scotland to The Channel Islands, and overseeing the re-development and interior design of each one, Julia has created a group that comprises 19 distinctive hotels, each offering an abundance of character and charm in locations inviting plenty to see, do and explore. Whilst each hotel within the family-owned hotel group is individual, consistency of service runs central to the brand’s DNA, so guests can expect a personalised service delivered with genuine warmth and a welcoming smile to exude the Hand Picked values of family, community, initiative and individuality.
