Lucknam Park Hotel

Colerne, Chippenham

As long June days lend themselves to evening strolls, this country estate close to Bath offers a saunter-worthy scene. Set in 202ha of parkland there’s an equestrian centre, for those who prefer to set off into the sunset on a trusty steed.

The 42 sizeable rooms are British in style, each in keeping with the classic country pile sensibility. The recently revamped spa with its large pool and walled garden is a great place to relax. Michelin-starred restaurant The Park is on hand for delicious evening meals. BG. Doubles from £290
