Publisher's Synopsis
The country house is an integral part of Britain's heritage, with a way of living previously enjoyed only by the aristocracy. Today these grand houses, converted into hotels, have lost none of their glamour and elegance. Featured hotels have all been anonymously researched and full details of price, awards, cuisine, standard and type of accommodation are included. The individual history of each house is listed as are local walks, sporting facilities in the area, nearby towns, stately homes, gardens, castles and places of historical interest.
