Treat yourself to a stay at this chic Georgian townhouse hotel in leafy Richmond, moments from the wonderful Royal Park with sweeping views over Petersham Meadows. This is a view that has inspired many great artists and writers, including JMW Turner.
Step inside and you'll find an award-winning restaurant, bar and terrace. Choose from the Georgian Collection bedrooms, with their traditional townhouse colour palettes and furnishings, hand-stitched Heal's beds and underfloor heating, or opt for the Hill Collection, with their bright decor, smart TVs and extra sound-proofing.
Enjoy a delectable afternoon tea for two with a glass of Champagne for each person on the day of your arrival, and a dinner allocation of £35pp (food only) on the second night of your stay.
Here, you are near enough to London to sample its metropolitan delights, yet far enough to feel like you're on a countryside retreat. Hire a bike to explore the wonderful park, stroll along the Thames, visit historic Richmond and its upscale restaurants, or take in nearby Kew Gardens.
Two nights from £235pp*
Petersham Meadows is ideally located for a riverside stroll - if you're lucky you may also spot the visiting grazing herd.
Set amidst the leafy Surrey landscapes, stroll around Richmond Park or along the River Thames. Both Kew Gardens and Ham House are less than a 30-minute drive away.
By car: around 45 minutes from London, 2 hours from Bristol and 4 hours from Manchester. Parking costs £15 per day.
By train: Richmond station is a 5-minute taxi ride (or a 20-minute walk) to the hotel. thetrainline.com
Visitors, business travellers, groups and bridal parties all check in for the leafy location, food and calm, considered spaces. We loved the hushed atmosphere and attention to detail in the rooms; and making the most of the outdoor terrace on a warm summer's evening.
The hotel boasts green initiatives including dimmers and low energy lighting, while each of the Grade II-listed windows have been sympathetically restored to retain heat. Four-legged guests can be booked into any room type and receive a welcome pack including a blanket, water bowl and some special treats.
