There's plenty to do at this sprawling luxury hotel with its Gothic-revival red-brick mansion on a 375-acre estate – a vast spa, championship golf course and tennis are among its attractions. Guests have a choice of elegant, individually styled bedrooms and suites in the Old Hall, with period furniture and original features; modern luxury rooms with a monsoon shower, a bath with TV, air conditioning and mood lighting in the New Hall; contemporary accommodation in Tiplady Lodge, where most rooms have a patio or Juliet balcony. All palates and appetites are catered for, too, with fine dining in the Orangery, all-day menus of British and European classics in the Clubhouse, or healthy pan-Asian dishes in Nu Sana.
