'Ardtully', an attractive, rambling country house of charm and character, designed in a pseudo Georgian style in 1882 by George Sherrin, a prolific Essex architect of the time, is situated in the conservation area of Ingatestone. It is thought that Lord Petre, Lord of the Manor, had it built for one of his sons. The current Lord Petre, who continues to live with his family in Ingatestone Hall, maintain their ties and interests in village life today.

Ardtully offers single and twin room options and there are some bed-sits available for the resident who requires that little extra space. Most rooms have en suite facilities, but those without are furnished with vanity units and bathrooms are adjacent.

All rooms have adequate power points and a telephone point for personal use. Remote controlled TV is provided. All rooms are carpeted, tastefully furnished and decorated to a high standard, although residents are encouraged to personalise their rooms with their own possessions if they so desire.

Generally, we are unable to accommodate your pets, but we do have 'house-pets'.
