The refurbishment started in Spring, seeing the modernisation and updating of the conference and event rooms, The Garden Suite and The Evergreen Room. Late spring 14 of the main house bedrooms were totally renovated to provide modern comfortable facilities in individual feature character rooms including air conditioning.

The majority of bedrooms and meeting rooms are adjacent to the main house in the Garden Courtyard and Hertfordshire wing, where renovation begins in Late July and August.
