The inspiration

The Captain's Suite is stuffed to the gills with maritime mementoes – and for good reason. It was inspired by a real-life naval captain who lived at the Lodge in the 18th century.

Frederick Cornewall was an interesting man with a career that can best be described as 'inconsistent'. During 1774's Battle of Toulon, he bravely took command of HMS Namur after her skipper fell – but lost his right arm in the process. And on earning his promotion to Captain soon after, he ran his ship aground on her maiden voyage.

The design

You'll sense echoes of the Captains' seafaring adventures throughout their suite. Note the billowing 'sail' above the bed – and the attic beams resembling the hull of a mighty ship.

But this is less a love letter to the sea and more a globetrotting tour through the heights of 18th- and 19th-century excess. Think plush Georgian fabrics and Regency furniture, including an original bed

frame from the 1800s. The suite is also scattered with souvenirs – the kind a tourist of the time might have displayed as evidence of their cultural caché.
