Bishopstrow Hotel & Spa

A Georgian country house hotel in Wiltshire that calls itself "the playful country estate" without irony, and mostly gets away with it. Rooms split between the main house and converted stables, the latter also housing the spa and indoor and outdoor pools. The gardens do a lot of heavy lifting, the kitchen leans on local and estate-grown produce, and dogs are welcome, which tells you roughly what kind of crowd gravitates here.
