The site has a history dating back more than 160 years and has been a filming location for several much-loved BBC television shows including Allo Allo and Dad's Army.

The original property dates to the mid-19th Century when it was constructed as a private residence for the Lyne-Stephens family.

In the 1920s, the east wing of Lynford Hall was destroyed by a fire and the property comes with planning permissions for extensions to provide function suites, a leisure centre and retail areas.

The Hall passed through various owners before being purchased by the Forestry Commission in 1930 and was used as a convalescent hospital during the Second World War.

The property has operated as a hotel since the 1960s, from the ground to the second floor, with an extensive cellar incorporating a modern commercial kitchen, offices and stores.
