Whatley Manor

Easton Grey, Wiltshire

The 26 ornamental garden rooms at this romantic Cotswold country house hotel with a Michelin-star restaurant follow the design of Septimus Warwick, an arts and crafts enthusiast. Head gardener David Pearce maintains the 12-acre garden according to that ethos.

Managed ecologically, it features wild-flower meadows and Victorian greenhouses along with manicured lawns, water features, gazebos and sculptures. Bedrooms range from contemporary classics to swish split-level suites, and at breakfast, there is honey from the hives. ■■Doubles from £354, B&B, whatleymanor.com
