Hand Picked Hotels seek to create an atmosphere in which guests are encouraged to feel at home. The buildings are all large architecturally stunning properties but no one will ever find themselves tiptoeing around the corridors intimidated by the imposing grandeur of the building. We encourage guests to kick off their shoes and enjoy themselves. The superb settings, in Britain’s most beautiful countryside, the elegant accommodation hung with fine paintings and furnished with exquisite antiques, and the attentive but discreet service are all designed to stimulate enjoyment not stifle it.
