The Fish Hotel

Treehouses, farmhouse cottages, and sleek mobile huts spread across a 400-acre Cotswolds estate, which gives you a sense of how committed the Fish Hotel is to defying the country-house template. The interiors skip the chintz entirely in favor of something contemporary and unfussy. There's an afternoon tea, a bar doing Hereford Angus sliders, and a seafood-focused restaurant called Hook that the locals take quietly seriously.
