Summer Lodge Country House & Spa
Hotel and restaurant in a village (Evershot)
Deep in the heart of the rolling Wessex countryside, little changed from the days it was immortalised in the novels of Thomas Hardy, and only a short drive from the dramatic rocks and fossils of the world renowned Jurassic Coast, Summer Lodge affords a magical escape from the prosaic realities of the 21st century. Set in four acres of idyllic gardens, with a croquet lawn, indoor pool, health spa, and a collection of richly furnished guest rooms and suites, it’s a small world into itself - and one you won’t want to leave. Add in a restaurant of international repute, one of the best Cellar Masters in the world, a sommelier who garnered two ‘Young Sommelier of the Year’ Awards in 2010, plus service that manages to be wonderfully discreet yet impressively thoughtful, and it’s easy to see why guests come from so far and wide.

Le Manoir aux Quat’ Saisons
Restaurant of a Grand Chef Relais & Châteaux and hotel in the country (Oxford)
It is in a sumptuous manor, just outside of Oxford, that the chef Raymond Blanc displays his sensory universe. For him, “if the work itself is transient, the memory of the flavour remains”. In his vast garden abounding with lavender, he grows almost ninety varieties of vegetables and more than seventy aromatic herbs which you are bound to find on your plate, in one way or another. If he swears only by “bio” and organic, it is because “good doesn’t interest him, but sublime does”. Sublime like the suites of this hotel, small lofts with evocative names: The exoticism of Opium, the haven of tranquillity of Blanc de Blanc, the sobriety of Vettriano... Let yourself be enchanted, in the native land of Lewis Carroll and of J.R.R Tolkien.
