Inspired by Oscar Wilde. Justified by dessert.
There’s a time for balance. For restraint. For just one glass, one night, one scoop. We respect that. We really do.
But we also side with Oscar Wilde — the original master of a well-timed excess — who famously said:
“Everything in moderation, including moderation.”
Exactly.
Because sometimes moderation looks like staying an extra night. Ordering the pudding and the cheese. Saying yes to a second glass of English sparkling when the sun hits the Garden Room windows just so.
At The Priory, we lean into the art of subtle indulgence. The kind that doesn’t shout, but lingers.
Like breakfast in the garden that turns into a morning with no plans.
Like a riverside walk followed by a nap (the best kind).
Like long lunches that evolve into lazy afternoons with nothing in your calendar except “stay exactly here.”
We won’t tell you what to do.
But we will gently encourage the following:
- Arrive early. Leave later.
- Let the wine list tempt you.
- Add the third course. And the extra night.
- Let yourself unwind — properly.
And in the spirit of saying yes to more (just this once), we’re offering our Summer Escape Rate for those in the know.
Stay three nights or more and enjoy our exclusive summer rate — a little reward for choosing the scenic route over the sensible one.

Moderation will still be there when you get back.
