Down Hall Hotel & Spa ****

🎢 A staycation in a 4-star retreat set in the countryside, inside a Victorian manor surrounded by 110 acres of parkland. The night is spent in a former 19th-century country house on a grand scale: Italianate façades, oversized volumes, sweeping staircases. Inside, high ceilings, natural light and contemporary furniture. The restaurant follows the seasons with modern British cooking, served in a dining room opening onto the gardens. On the wellness side, the spa features a hydrotherapy pool, sauna, steam room and ESPA treatments. Outside, walking paths, lawns and woodland spread across 110 acres.

⭐️ Le highlight : The manor served as headquarters during the filming of The Great British Bake Off.
