The room

Named for the Bloomsbury set

The Partridge Room takes its name from the members of the Bloomsbury Group who lived at Ham Spray House, just up the lane, from 1924 until 1960.
Exposed oak beams, a log burner, oak panelling and terracotta tiles underfoot. It is a light room, with doors opening onto the terrace, and in summer the terrace becomes part of the party.
