Revel in a scenic stay at a historic country mansion with modern interiors near The Chilterns - includes breakfast, a suite option, plus options for dinner credit or afternoon tea
  • Historic abode: Immerse yourself in country delights and historic sights with this rural retreat, situated in the beautiful De Vere Latimer Estate. The walls here hold plenty of secrets, as the estate's intriguing history includes a role in military intelligence during World War II. Channel your inner aristocrat with a glass of bubbly on the library’s balcony.

  • Sublime setting: Set in the Chiltern Hills in Buckinghamshire, there’s plenty more greenery to enjoy once you’ve wandered through every inch of the 30-acre gardens. Head into The Chilterns’ Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty for knock-your-socks-off scenery, or amble along a riverside trail in Chess Valley.

  • Dine on British fare: However you spend your days, you’ll want to work up an appetite for dinner in the inspiring 1838 Restaurant, with its Instagram-worthy design that brings the outdoors in. Mains here change daily, but draw on fresh, local ingredients to create sophisticated British classics.
