"Homewood Park describes itself as ‘eclectic, luxurious, and slightly eccentric,’ and that’s not a bad call. This quintessentially English Georgian country house near Bath is known for its home-away-from-home exquisite rooms, over 10 acres of award-winning gardens, and its spa and outdoor pool, heated to perfection. The latter is gorgeous, perfect for swimming lengths, and through glass doors at one end leads to an indoor hydrotherapy pool. The spa itself has saunas and steam rooms and plenty of high-end treatments on offer from ‘anti-aging rituals’ to a ‘bootcamp for tummies’. But let’s get to the 21 rooms—indulgent, huge double beds, some with hot tubs, all lavishly decorated in individual styles from ultra-modern to lux country with unique statement artworks, Smeg coffee machines and Dyson hairdryers. Add the Olio restaurant serving up fine British classics with a Mediterranean twist and Bob’s your uncle, as the English say. A winner!" - Ramsay Short
