Good Hotel Guide Review

An equestrian statue of Frederick, Prince of Wales, marks your arrival at this glorious Jacobean-cum-Georgian mansion, a hotel since the late 1980s. ‘A beautiful country house with personal service at its core’, it gazes over an 18th-century landscape, with Ionic temple, obelisk, a lake spanned by an arch from the old Kew Bridge. Restored by Historic House Hotels and owned by the National Trust (see Middlethorpe Hall, York, and Bodysgallen Hall & Spa, Llandudno), it is beautifully presented, with perfectly judged antiques and spectacular original features. ‘What a wonderful hotel, perfect in every way for all our requirements,’ writes a reader this year. The ‘lovely accommodation’ ranges from classic double rooms with coffee machine and home-made biscuits to ‘royal’ rooms and suites, some with four-poster. There are further rooms and dog-friendly suites in a converted 18th-century riding school. Dress formally to dine on such elaborate dishes as pan-fried sea bream, chicken-braised pearl barley, caramelised chicory, pickled artichoke, roasted yeast sauce. ‘Catering at the highest level made our stay a real treat.’ (Ralph Wilson, CC)
