Enjoy heritage and comfort with a stay at luxury hotel Hartwell House & Spa, set on the edge of the Chilterns in Buckinghamshire. Hartwell House is remarkable for its architecture and history – it
was leased to the exiled King Louis XVIII of France and his court in 1809. The impressive house, with both Jacobean and Georgian façades, contains Roccoco ceilings, antique furniture and paintings, yet has every contemporary comfort of a hotel of note.

Hartwell House

An award-winning restaurant, spa and all-weather tennis courts add to Hartwell’s attractions, as well as the extensive 90-acre park and garden. First designed in the early 18th century in the formal style with allées, temples, garden statuary, canals and an amazing yew tree exedra, by the middle of the 18th century most of the formality was swept away and the garden landscaped by Richard Woods, a follower of Lancelot ‘Capability’ Brown.

There are swathes of daffodils in spring, and a picturesque bridge over the lake – originally the central span of the old Kew Bridge, dismantled and sold in 1898.
