Crazy bear looks amazing.

JaJaDingDong · 09/10/2020 10:23

Crazy Bear is fab!

Haven't been in a while, and I think they have more than one now, but we love the one in Stadhampton.

misskick · 09/10/2020 10:35

I'm sure groupon has offers on the crazy bear at the minute too

SeasonallySnowyPeasant · 09/10/2020 10:36

Hever Castle B&B is beautiful and pure luxury.
Luton Hoo - ditto with a spa.

LilyE1234 · 09/10/2020 10:38

The Pig hotels - the best food

MobLife · 09/10/2020 10:43

I've just booked a weekend break in Feb at The Newt in Somerset. It looks amazing. Can't wait!

Peanutbutterjelly10 · 09/10/2020 17:53

Yes also vote for the pigs in Norfolk. They have amazing food. Amazing rooms. Can even get a spa room with steam room, sauna, fire pit outside

Dudsburf old club

Stayed here recently which was nice,

leedscastle

Leeds castle (in Kent) is another beautiful option

Grumpbum123 · 09/10/2020 19:56

Food at the pigs, Limewood and carys manor is fab. Carys manor especially if you like Thai.
Lainston house is also excellent. Another one to throw into the mix is Rhinefield House

Mirrorxx · 09/10/2020 20:00

The fish, dormy house and fox hill manor, all part of the farncombe estate and all great.
