THE STORY

Originally an 18th century farmhouse, Grade II listed Salston Manor was extended and rebuilt in Elizabethan style in 1845 by William Hart Coleridge, nephew of the poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge. In the twentieth century it became a hotel and was the birthplace of the world famous Donkey Sanctuary. The hotel closed in 2007 and has now been substantially rebuilt as 11 apartments with a further 15 new houses discreetly located within approximately 4 acres of managed private grounds and woodland. The developers have meticulously restored, converted, and enhanced this mid-19th-century property, employing local craftsmen who have infused each space with a mix of authentic, historical charm and contemporary flair.
