England is full of places to escape to. London’s grand hotels are the obvious start, but the country is at its best in its great houses and villages.
The Cotswolds, Somerset, Cornwall and the Lake District each have their own character, with gardens, walks, pubs and some wonderful country house hotels. Bath, Oxford and York add history and culture.
It’s perfect for weekend escapes, milestone celebrations and visiting friends from overseas.
