For an English country house with all of the elegance & none of the fuss, you couldn't do much better than Stoke Place, a four-star Queen Anne Manor House in Buckinghamshire. This pretty & modern hotel is set in 26 acres of parkland that should really put the spring in your step. As you wander through the hotel grounds, you might start to feel as though you're on some kind of treasure hunt. You'll come across surprises such as a giant chess set, swinging hammocks, picnic benches, a fishing pond & if you're lucky, you'll spot some rather cute ponies. The award-winning Garden Room restaurant is also wonderfully eccentric, serving up delicious yet unusual British fare. The interior design is ultra-cool with h&-picked designer pieces throughout including in the stylish bedrooms. Features such as a fully-equipped gym, a great cocktail bar & a menu of luxury health & beauty treatments make your stay relaxing & indulgent.
