Country house hideaways
Rothay Manor, Cumbria
There’s no better place than the Lakes for a few days’ walking, and this handsome Regency manor, a ten-minute stroll from Ambleside, makes the ideal base. All the details are just right: an acclaimed restaurant – one of the best in the Lakes – stylish but comfy rooms whose vast beds come with cloud-like mattresses, and private hot tubs to ease aching muscles after yomping the fells. The full Cumbrian breakfast will set you up for more of the same the next day. www.rothaymanor.co.uk
Grove of Narberth, Pembrokeshire
A romantic Welsh hideaway, Grove of Narberth overlooks the Preseli Hills and is just a 15-minute drive from pretty Tenby. Rooms are dotted with art, antiques and period fireplaces, imbuing them with warmth and character. Six 15th-century cottage suites in the grounds have been renovated this year. Our pick is ‘Sage’; decorated in soft earthy hues, it comes with its own sun-trap terrace. The hotel also has one of Wales’ finest restaurants, with fresh produce picked daily from the kitchen garden for its 5-, 7- and 10-course tasting menus. www.thegrove-narberth.co.uk
The Nare, Cornwall
A country house hotel by the sea on Cornwall’s Roseland Peninsula, The Nare is family-run, traditional and utterly charming. It has elegantly appointed rooms, a comfortable lounge in which to relax with afternoon tea or read the papers, and a top-notch restaurant with panoramic views of the sea from its floor-to-ceiling windows. The brand-new Whittington Suites, boasting heartstopping sea views and a contemporary chintzy decor, offer the hotel’s trademark mix of elegance and comfort in spades. www.narehotel.co.uk
