| Luton Hoo is known to have been among the most expensive schemes of Lancelot ''Capability'' Brown''s career, second only to his work at Blenheim Palace in Oxfordshire.
In 1947, the present Queen Elizabeth and newly wedded husband Prince Phillip spent part of their honeymoon at Luton Hoo, as personal friends of Lady Zia.
This country house is set in its own spacious grounds and was built in the 17th century for Sir Richard Spencer in the pretty Hertfordshire village of Great Offley.
The village of Great Offley has all the charm you would expect from a pretty English village. It is reputed to be named after Offa, King of Mercia who had his palace here. Today it is an ideal spot for a relaxing break, conference or a special occasion.
