DH and I have had a rubbish few months and are looking for a few nights’ stay at a country house hotel early September (thinking of somewhere in its own grounds with lovely surrounding countryside) which offers style, comfort and lovely food. We really don’t like “traditional“ decor so ideally somewhere that’s old/historic on the outside but with a modern interior?? And within a 3-hour drive of Hertfordshire. If you can recommend anywhere I would love to hear from you.* *😊
