Found on the ground floor of the property, the Eric room was once the working office of Alex Moulton’s staff and has now been transformed into a unique, calm, and comfortable place to stay for a perfect night’s sleep.
The namesake of the Eric room, Charles ‘Eric’ Moulton was the second son of John and Alice Blanche Moulton. Eric, as he was commonly known amongst close family members and friends was a serving second lieutenant and member of the 6th Wiltshire Regiment. Following the declaration of war in 1914 between the Allied Powers and the Central Powers, Eric would be deployed to Northern France.
On the evening of 16th September 1915, the twenty-six-year-old was shot and fatally wounded. Inspired by the bravery and heroism of the patriotic young soldier, the Eric room uses colours from the Wiltshire Regiment uniform and has been uplifted with refurbished tables and chairs. Adding a new king-size bed with a deeply tufted mattress, the Eric room features an ensuite green tiled shower room, converted from what once was a majestic fireplace that now includes a spacious rainfall shower.
