At Larchfield Estate, we're always looking for thoughtful ways to evolve—while remaining completely committed to preserving the quality and tranquillity of our core offerings: exclusive-use weddings, events, and self-catering stays. That’s exactly why we’re thrilled to announce the launch of Think Storage, our brand-new self storage facility, opening at the end of May 2025, right here on the estate. From the outset, our aim was to find a new venture that would help us diversify sustainably—without impacting the peaceful, private atmosphere our guests value so deeply. After over a decade of research, and inspired by a discussion during a 2022 @HistoricHouses Business Development Committee meeting, we found the perfect fit: a secure, low-footfall, low-impact self storage solution, nestled in a completely separate part of Larchfield Estate.
