Wolsey Lodges is a collection of private homes, where the standard of hospitality, the location and the individuality of each house and host, has earned its unique place within the market today. The name Wolsey Lodge recalls Henry VIII's Lord Chancellor, Cardinal Wolsey. When he toured the realm in the 16th century, he expected to receive generous hospitality at any suitable country house along his way. This is the service and quality our lodges will want to offer you, wherever you travel within the UK or Europe.

Staying at a Wolsey Lodge is a different experience to a hotel, it is very personal to you and your requirements, and because of this unique quality we do not have a night porter or room service chefs on call.

Wolsey Lodges Ltd. is a non-profit making organisation owned by the members of the group. The Company was founded in 1981 by the East Anglia Tourist Board with thirteen homes. Membership rapidly expanded and today there are 169 members throughout Britain and 12 in continental Europe. Wolsey Lodges have independent inspectors who visit members and new applicants. This is a continuous process as we are proud of our standards and wish to maintain them
