How the day runs
After passport control, your chauffeur is in the arrivals hall; the bags travel with you. The luxury people-carrier is chosen to fit the party. Drop-off is at the visitor entrance of Lydiard House; the chauffeur then waits nearby. If you want lunch away from the house, Blunsdon House Hotel is about 18 minutes from the gates. Ashdown House is about 37 minutes on, if the day has room for a second house.
