Enjoy the country-house charm of Beaverbroo­k in the Surrey Hills

The former home of newspaper mogul Lord Beaverbroo­k, this luxury country-house hotel, a late-victorian mansion set in 400 lush acres in Surrey, is ready to welcome you to a world of unparallel­ed service, rich heritage and impeccable design. There are 29 boutique rooms split between

The Garden House, The Main House and – opening later this year – The Coach House Spa and Glass House Cottages, a tranquil retreat.

we love it because... It’s a charming and peaceful place to stay and dine, with the glamour of yesteryear.

hide away... Set in a secluded walled garden, The Garden House’s 11 quirky and cosy cottage-like rooms are individual­ly decorated in a relaxed mix of textiles and colours, with eclectic artwork and antiques.

go for grandeur... Having played host in the last century to some of high society’s finest figures, from Rudyard Kipling and Ian Fleming to Winston Churchill and Herbert Asquith, the Main House now offers 18 rooms filled with furniture and fittings sourced from antiques fairs, as well as furnishing­s and fabrics inspired by the 1920s to 1950s.

tuck in... Savour The Bar’s old-school glamour as you sip an apéritif before enjoying a meal in one of the three restaurant­s, with menus focused on seasonal, homegrown and locally sourced produce. The Kitchen Garden’s

Head Chef Kaz Suzuki offers rustic Anglo-italian dishes, like delicious Chicken Milanese with black truffle, or a gnocchi and tortellini fusion.

find your fun... Whether you’re a fan of rambling or riding, there’s lots to do. The lake is stocked with trout, and you can go cycling or forest foraging. All ages can take a cookery class and little ones can burn off extra energy with den building, night safaris and treasure hunts. Alternativ­ely, pop them into the Kids’ Club for adventures, pranks and projects, leaving you free to be pampered in The Coach House Spa with treatments using natural English beauty products to leave you feeling nurtured and revitalise­d. how Much? Garden House rooms start from £280 per night; Main House rooms from £420.
