Barton Hall Hotel & Spa, Kettering, East Midlands

• Grade II-listed grandeur: Sitting amidst beautifully landscaped gardens, Barton Hall is a stately Manor House hotel on the outskirts of the Northamptonshire town of Kettering. Having recently been renovated, Barton Hall has reopened its doors and boasts brand new contemporary interiors throughout, along with the al fresco Garden Spa, where you'll find a hydrotherapy pool, scented steam room, sauna, relaxation room and ice therapy zone.

• Hearty cuisine with European influences: Vines Brasserie serves a delicious breakfast buffet each morning as well as light lunches, coffee and cakes. Its à la carte menu is comprised of artfully prepared European and British brasserie dishes accompanied by a good selection of cocktails, craft beers and wines.

• Heavenly night's sleep: Relaxing shades of duck egg blue, soft ochre and the like, can be found in the individually styled guestrooms. Expect country-chic decor, from thick patterned drapes, matching cushions and exposed wooden beams. Bathrooms are equally stylish, with powerful showers and luxury toiletries. It's no surprise that this elegant bolthole has earned itself a Tripadvisor Travellers' Choice award.
