The Lore Of The Clockwork Hotel

The Clockwork Hotel Divider - Purple
The Clockwork Hotel was imagined by owners Harry and Emily Wilsdon, who purchased the property in 2017. Once known as The Railway Inn and originally built in 1894, the building underwent a complete restoration before reopening in 2019 with an entirely new concept. Their vision was simple but ambitious: to combine immersive, theatrical experiences with exceptional hospitality, creating a one-of-a-kind destination for groups to celebrate and connect.

“As soon as we acquired the building, we knew we wanted to do something different,” Emily explains. “At our sister site, Creeksea Place Barns, we’d been welcoming large groups since 2010, and we noticed how often guests would plan a special activity to bring everyone together. That sparked the idea for The Clockwork Hotel. We wanted to surprise our guests at every turn, make them laugh, and weave a sense of theatre into their celebrations. Most of all, we loved the idea of offering everything under one roof, so organisers could plan a truly memorable experience with ease.”

The Clockwork Hotel is part of a family of unique hospitality businesses owned and run by the Wilsdons and their dedicated team. Just outside Burnham-on-Crouch, their farm is home to Creeksea Place Barns self-catering accommodation, The Canary Shed wedding venue, The Parlour Café, Saltmarsh Spa & Fitness, and 75 acres of vineyard leading to the coastal footpath. Guests can relax in the spa, celebrate a wedding, enjoy a retreat, or join one of the farm’s vibrant annual events, such as the Midsummer Music Festival or Woof Fest dog charity day.

Across all their ventures, the Wilsdons share a passion for creativity and for crafting experiences that feel extraordinary. The Clockwork Hotel may be one of their boldest ideas yet, but it reflects their philosophy perfectly: if it’s an experience they’d love to enjoy themselves, chances are their guests will too.
