Welcome to Burtown

Burtown is not simply somewhere to visit. It is a living estate where hospitality, food, gardens, landscape and family life come together. For generations, the estate has continued to evolve while remaining true to its character. Today, guests are invited to experience Burtown in many different ways—whether enjoying lunch in The Green Barn, staying on the estate, walking through the landscape, discovering the gardens or gathering to celebrate life’s important moments.
