What is most thrilling about Locksley Hall?

The grandeur of this estate is such that it made the property the topic for Tennyson’s famous poetry. Its comfort index definitely takes into account the adjoining office to the master suite, a full gourmet kitchen provided with a butler’s pantry, elevator services to all floors and a wraparound balcony where you can enjoy a fabulous time outdoors. The heavy 4,000-pound Julia Morgan bronze gate and extensive stair systems leading to the terraces contribute to the classic grandeur of the mansion.

The in-house swimming pool is stone-lined and comes along with sauna, spa, fountains and steam-bath facilities. You will be amazed to know that like the gate, the bronze fountain also has been custom-made. What is more, you can get a glimpse of the wonderful property grounds from window of every room. The Chinese stone pavements and teak-beamed pergola add to the quaint beauty of the Locksley Hall.
