Vibe
Gravel drives sweep past mature beech avenues and fenced paddocks, where estate horses graze against a backdrop of quiet Wiltshire countryside.
“Palladian equestrian hideaway”
Personalized estate service, antique-filled suites with four-poster beds, and tasting menus at Michelin-starred Restaurant Hywel Jones.
An 18th-century Grade II* listed Palladian mansion dating to 1720, preserving original architecture across private parkland.
Five hundred private acres offering a dedicated equestrian centre, outdoor tennis courts, archery, and family activity programming.
Set within 500 acres of private Wiltshire parkland, six miles northeast of historic Bath.
“The hotel’s 42 rooms and 9 cottages are stuffed to the gills with atmosphere and antiques — though more aggressively comfortable than overweeningly opulent.”
Rooms
Bedrooms feature floral drapery and period antiques, while principal suites offer sitting rooms and high four-poster beds that require stepping stools.
“Interiors are a study in classic English country-house living, with Victorian-style floral wallpaper and heavy drapery accented by antique furniture…”
Wellness
A 20-metre indoor pool connects to an outdoor hydrotherapy pool, surrounded by five thermal cabins and treatments formulated with 111Skin.
Backstory
Built in 1720, the Palladian mansion served as a private family home for over two centuries until opening as a hotel in 1987.
Eat & drink
Michelin-starred Restaurant Hywel Jones crafts seasonal tasting menus, while The Walled Garden provides casual lunches and drinks overlooking the grounds.
The neighborhood
The Roman baths and Georgian crescents of Bath sit six miles away, though peaceful Cotswold trails begin right at the estate gates.

The app
This is one hotel. The app has every one we rate, in your pocket, for the whole trip.
Our shorthand
What makes a hotel special, how well they pull it off, and what it feels like outside the door.
How well they pull it off
Extremely rare. Sets the global standard.
Brilliant execution. And we’re picky.
They did this well. You’ll notice.
A defining trait. Makes the hotel what it is.
The eight vibes
Architecture and interiors lead. There’s a creative vision at work.
The guest is conspicuously well cared for. Requests met before they’re made.
Rooted in place. Local character runs through the whole stay.
Energy and scene. Where the city goes out, whether or not it’s sleeping here.
A building with history. The story of the place is part of the stay.
Built around feeling better. Rest, sweat, soak, spa.
A hotel the city grew up with. Same rituals, same regulars.
A world of its own. No reason to leave the property.
Scene — what’s outside the door
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
A place apart: the property is the destination.
