Κρατήστε αυτό αν You want the ultimate 'posh wellies' countryside escape where the crowd is as curated as the cocktail list.
Γιατί Το Αγαπούν
The original Cowshed Spa with its rustic-luxe treatment rooms
Heated indoor-outdoor infinity pool that stays open year-round
Legendary Sunday roasts in The Orangery overlooking the grounds
Γρήγορη Ματιά: It’s a private members' club first and a hotel second, so expect to pay a premium for the privilege of rubbing shoulders with London's media elite.
Αξιολόγηση από @ginagoesto: I felt like I stepped into a period drama here. The gardens are immaculate and having lunch on the terrace with that countryside view was the highlight of my summer. It’s the perfect escape from the city noise.
Ο Επισκέπτης που Έμεινε Εδώ Είπε
The hype
The service is relaxed but attentive (no uniforms), and the grounds are absolutely stunning.
Reality check
The Main House rooms can be noisy due to the bar below and creaky floorboards; if you want silence, book an outbuilding.
You appreciate 'shabby chic' done with an unlimited budget
You want a hotel where you can wear muddy boots and a silk dress in the same day
You are a foodie who loves farm-to-table dining (literally from the Walled Garden)
Καθαριότητα & Συντήρηση

Bathroom hygiene: Immaculate. Bathrooms are a highlight with huge tubs and endless Cowshed products.
Maintenance: Mostly good, though some 'rustic' charm can mean creaky doors or worn fabrics.
Linens & towels: High quality, fluffy robes and crisp sheets.

5 πράγματα που πρέπει να ξέρετε πριν φύγετε
💡The 'shabby chic' furniture is sometimes actually just shabby (worn velvet, scratched wood).
💡The Main House floorboards are incredibly loud; you will hear your neighbors walking.
💡Room service is available but can be slow during peak dinner times.
💡The 'Walled Garden' isn't just for show; you'll likely eat vegetables picked from it that morning.
💡You might spot a celebrity, but the unwritten rule is you must pretend not to notice.
