This luxury hotel is dressed to impress in a grand 18th-century manor house, with a magnificent spa and an exquisite Michelin star restaurant headed by chef Steve Smith. You can swim to the sound of underwater music in one of the spa's eight pools, illuminated by fibre optic lighting, and sip Champagne while relaxing in the outdoor tub. Waiters are on-hand to serve drinks in and around the pools; bliss. Enjoy a superb culinary experience in The Latymer restaurant and learn about the provenance of the tasting menu's artistically presented dishes. Plus there is croquet, tennis, a jogging track and a cinema with complimentary popcorn.
We love the surrounding countryside; the hotel is set in 123 acres, offering views and walks galore.

We love the quirky period touches such as the small carved wooden bishops chair. Our favourite room is the Snowdrop junior suite, which features a beautifully carved four-poster bed and yin-yang double spa bath with wave therapy.

We love the little cards accompanying each of the dishes in The Latymer restaurant. Did you know that rice was introduced to Italy by the Arabs in the 14th century? A wild strawberry tart with vanilla and marigold was amazing, the tiny berries so ripe and bursting with intense flavour.
