The Farmhouse at Redcoats Shortlist*
Hitchin, Hertfordshire
Good Hotel Guide Review
In serene countryside, this well-restored old farmhouse, its many features dating from the 15th Century, stands in large, landscaped gardens. The hotel and restaurant, part of the Nye family’s Anglian Country Inns, have intimate sitting areas, and warming fires in inglenook fireplaces. The rustic Orangery restaurant opens onto a woodland dell with a ‘bug hotel’. Cocktails, wines and real ales accompany chef Sherwin Jacobs’s Modern British dishes. Creatively decorated bedrooms are spread over the main house, converted stables and Grade II listed barn across the courtyard, where events are held. In the morning, choose a hearty dish from the farmhouse menu. Circular walks start at the bottom of the garden.
