The State Rooms

The Saloon

The Saloon is physically and socially the heart of the house. It was designed for the 4th Earl by Thomas Allom in a gothic style with rich decoration and completed in the 1860's.

The remarkable wall coverings are made of leather. They were brought back from Cordoba, Spain by the 3rd Earl and date from 1631. They were hung here in 1862.

There are matching panels in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam

The State Dining Room

The room is dominated by Van Dyck's great equestrian portrait of Charles I. Either side are portraits of Carnarvon ancestors who took part in the civil war in England in the 1640’s.

The Library

The double library was in its heyday during the late Victorian period. At this time, it was used by the 4th Earl of Carnarvon as a "withdrawing" room.

The Earl was an active Tory in Parliament, a member of Disraeli's Cabinet in the 1860's and 1870's. Here he could discuss politics with friends or retire in peace.

There are over 5,650 books, the earliest dating from the 16th century.
It is used a great deal by the family today to gather in before and after lunch or dinner.

The Music Room

It is a wonderful south-facing room with views towards two follies: Jackdaw's Castle to the east and Heaven's Gate at the summit of Siddown Hill.

The baroque ceiling was painted by Francis Hayman in the 1730’s whilst the walls are hung with Italian 16th century Italian embroideries.

The Drawing Room

In 1895, Alfred de Rothschild gave his daughter Almina bolts of green French silk from which to decorate this lovely south facing Drawing Room.

Narrow cupboards between the double doors from the Drawing Room to the Smoking Room hid the 5th Earl of Carnarvon's collection of Egyptian antiquities.

The Smoking Room

Dutch paintings from the 17th Century represent some of the earliest works of art brought to Highclere by the Carnarvon family. Early 19th Century art from a Grand Tour, hang high on the walls, whilst others link to family cousins at Wilton House, together with some of the portraits in the Dining Room.

Upstairs & Downstairs

Upstairs

The Bedrooms

There are 11 bedrooms on the first floor, some of which can be seen by visitors, and 40-50 on the next floors which are no longer used and cannot be viewed by visitors. They have been gradually refurbished by the 8th Countess over the past 5 years, using prints and drawings from the archives recording some of the visitors and history here.

The opulent Stanhope bedroom is decorated in rich red, recalling its decoration for the visit of the Prince of Wales in December 1895. The Dressing Room next door has just been redecorated.

The Arundel bedroom and its dressing room were used as an Operating Theatre and Recovery Room respectively during the First World War, when Almina, the 5th Countess, (with Lord Kitchener's blessing) turned the Castle into a military hospital, heading the nursing staff herself.

Mercia bedroom is noted for the charming four-poster bed decorated with 18th century silks and matching furniture.
Quite a few of the bedrooms are used for the filming of Downton Abbey.

Downstairs

The stone staircase behind the green baize door leading from the Saloon, winds up three floors and down to what were the old staff dining rooms, the cellars, sitting rooms, utility areas and kitchens.
