Occupying a Grade II-listed Georgian mansion in rural Hampshire, Heckfield Place has been designed to offer a "resolutely natural" experience to its guests.
The hotel's 400-acre grounds are dotted with lakes, walled gardens, and even a farm that supplies fresh fruit, vegetables, and honey to the two restaurants on site. Wildflowers and straw bags serve as decor in the earth-toned bedroom suites.
University Arms, Cambridge, by John Simpson and Martin Brudnizki
The University Arms hotel in Cambridge was originally constructed back in 1834, but has recently reopened its doors following an £80 million revamp by architect John Simpson and interior designer Martin Brudnizki.
Drawing on the city's academic history, Brudnizki has created "quintessentially English" rooms with literary details ? guest suites are named after famous authors, while the bar features patterned wallpaper that recalls antique book covers. There's also a library with leather armchairs and a wood-burning fireplace.
