Rushton Hall Hotel & Spa in Northamptonshire is so grand & packed full of original features that you could easily imagine you're living the Downton Abbey dream. Except of course, you'll have a few more modern comforts than they would have done, & hopefully less drama. This Grade I listed, four-star hotel is a magnificent 16th century building surrounded by 25 acres of beautiful grounds. With its large lake, croquet lawn & tennis court, these grounds provide the perfect country escape. Having been awarded four coveted red stars & three rosettes for dining, the house itself is somewhat impressive, with generous bedrooms featuring period character, a gourmet restaurant, a full sized billiard table & the superb Stable Yard Spa
- which has its own indoor swimming pool, fitness room & plenty of indulgent treatments on offer.
