"With 15 rooms and 8 suites, this renovated and expanded 1920s hunting lodge immediately impresses, thanks to the gorgeous quality of its stonework—a father-and-son team spent two years just building the wall that lines the driveway. Upstairs, the comforts are decidedly more Mayfair than manor house, with sophisticated lighting, Bang & Olufsen TVs and sound systems, Floris toiletries, goose-down duvets, and pedigreed good looks by a who’s who of interior designers. That said, you’ll often be tempted out of your room here. Set in one of England’s loveliest corners, the hotel has a top-notch spa, two first-rate restaurants (one formal, the other more relaxed, with a wood-paneled ski-chalet decor), and a 40-seat cinema with claret suede walls and leather armchairs."
