Heading up the design is the team at StudioJill who have worked with the collection across Fowey Hall on the Cornish Coast, Moonfleet Manor on the Jurassic Coast in Dorset and New Park Manor in the heart of the New Forest. The design concept adheres to a ‘new yet nostalgic' approach, ensuring that Woolley Grange, upon reopening, will step into a fresh chapter that celebrates its cherished heritage while unveiling a beautifully reimagined identity.
“As a design studio we wanted to create a stronger sense of place, celebrating the inherent charm and natural patina of the building whilst layering in modern crafted pieces, pattern and texture. Our approach unifies the old with new to create a more holistic guest experience mixing playful details with a relaxed understated sense of luxury.” Jill Higgins Founder & Design Team at StudioJill.
The full-property renovation will encompass all 25 rooms and suites as well as the public areas, including the Restaurant, Drawing Room, Long Room, Afternoon Tea Lounge, Private Dining, The Orangery, the family-friendly Spa, Indoor Swimming Pool and the multitude of children's facilities, such as the Ofsted-registered Woolley Bears Den children's club and the Hen House for tweens and teens.
The transformation will introduce a more holistic design thread across the house, uniting its Jacobean roots and later additions in one cohesive, characterful story. Drawing on a palette of earthy tones, rich textures, crewelwork, aged oak, and rustic finishes, the redesign brings a sense of place that is true to Woolley's historic character where cosy corners, worn flagstones, and country eccentricity are celebrated.
From reimagined bedrooms and suites to the lounge, restaurants, spa, and children's areas, the transformation will balance modern comfort with timeless charm, layered with playful touches that speak to the building's personality.
Throughout the hotel, quirky and tactile details from patterned textiles to the hotel's much-loved curiosities such as the vintage fairground rides and bear are mixed with new and vintage details and artefacts offering the guests a sensory experience that feels distinct of the beloved Luxury Family Hotels portfolio.
Above all, Woolley Grange remains where families return, a place full of character, comfort, and memory-making. With every element lovingly considered, this next chapter brings new stories, spaces, and experiences rooted in the warmth and welcome that has defined Woolley Grange for generations.
