"High on a valley ridge in West Sussex, Leonardslee House is a 19th-century Italianate mansion set within the famed Leonardslee Lakes & Gardens. Its 10 bedrooms are each individually styled: statement wallpapers, hand-picked antiques, marble fireplaces with views over rhododendron gardens, vineyards, and rolling Downs. After-hours access to the gardens adds to the sense of escape, as does the restaurant, where dramatic, foraged tasting menus unfold against a backdrop of tiled floors, mirrored walls, and vineyard views. A quiet spot with good rooms, good food, and a view worth waking up to." - Tablet Hotels
