You can stay overnight on “Downton Abbey” Estate

Highclere Castle, the Berkshire country estate where Downton Abbey is filmed, has opened an on-site hotel called London Lodge. The estate has been open already for Downton tours, but this is the first time it is possible to stay for the night. The sixth and last series of Downton Abbey has been shown in the UK, but premiered in the US this January. The Empty Box Company has been absolutely delighted to make boxes for the Downton Abbey series, featuring mostly in the bedrooms, especially when the characters were preparing to dress for something special, taking clothes from Hat Boxes and Dress Boxes. Recently we made a plainer box for Mrs Hughes' dress to wear at her wedding. For…

I had three Bespoke Hat Boxes made for me all those years ago (1993) in my left over French wall paper I had in my London bathroom. It was a very grand bathroom. I've moved since, always with these boxes. To the Cotswolds, to Saint Remy de Provence, and now to Naples, Florida. They are going to be someone's long after I am gone. Much adored, thank you! My boxes are beautiful, I'm so glad I found you all those years ago. I just discovered too your splendid YouTube channel. Thank you for opening new doors!
Just wanted to say thank you so much for my daughter's wedding travel box. Absolutely exquisite! The quality and heart pattern of the box is perfect for any bride to accompany her wedding dress abroad. Such a special time for any lady! The calligraphy as well is impeccable! Thank you again to you and your team for helping us make such an important personal occasion stress free.
I have recently received my order from you, and would just like to thank you all so much for my wedding dress box. It was a surprise to see such a wonderful designed box, which had a lot of storage space. I have searched high and low for a large box and have only been successful with yourself.
Very rarely in this busy world we lead do I feel strongly enough to put “pen to paper” however having taken delivery of my wedding dress travel box this morning I feel compelled to write to you! I must admit that initially, I hesitated about placing an order for what seemed effectively like just an empty box. Well, I stand corrected! The box is absolutely stunning and of amazing quality – I simply had to express my thanks for supplying such a beautiful product. Rest assured it will be displayed with pride on top of my wardrobe.
Wow! What a beautiful box for my wedding dress. It was so sad to pack my dress away, but your box was just perfect. My Mum thought I was ordering just an ordinary plain box! No way! Thank you so much.
