Park House Hotel & Spa Hotel

West Sussex, UK

Country charm, a historic legacy and a string of top-notch amenities: it’s little wonder this family-owned bolthole is a sure-hitter for discerning escapees. Located in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty on the cusp of the South Downs, this Edwardian hideaway has been built on a reputation for entertaining. Originally a private home, guests have been welcomed for over 60 years, from down-from-London weekenders to polo clientele from Cowdray Park. Contemporary additions include grass tennis courts, a fine-dining restaurant, croquet lawn, spa with indoor and outdoor pools and even a six-hole golf course. All activities complete, you’ll find rooms or cottages on-site a welcome place to lay your head, decorated in eccentric English style with French flair. If the length of the Sussex-based wine list piques your interest, Roebuck Estate is just 15 minutes away.

Doubles from £230, including breakfast.
