Palladian equestrian hideaway

Also in AFAR.
The hotel’s 42 rooms and 9 cottages are stuffed to the gills with atmosphere and antiques — though more aggressively comfortable than overweeningly opulent.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
The Roman baths and Georgian stone architecture of Bath sit six miles away, bordered by scenic Cotswold walking trails.
The rooms
Floral draperies and period antiques frame sweeping parkland views, while grand suites feature dedicated sitting rooms and stately four-poster beds.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
A 20-metre indoor pool sits beside a fireplace feature wall, connecting to an outdoor hydrotherapy pool facing the gardens.
The gym
The fitness suite houses Peloton and Life Fitness equipment, and an adjoining studio holds yoga and Pilates classes.
Dogs stay too.
At the table
The Walled Garden Restaurant serves wood-fired cooking on a lavender-fringed terrace, with cocktails served at the circular lounge bar.
How it began
Completed in 1720, this Grade II* listed Palladian manor remained a private family estate for centuries before opening as a hotel in 1987.
