The Top 54 Hotels Near Lucknam Park, Emblems Collection
-
A Palladian mansion six miles from Bath, set on 500 acres of private parkland with its own equestrian center, spa, indoor and outdoor pools, and a fine-dining restaurant. The 42 rooms and nine cottages lean into antiques and four-poster beds high enough to need a footstool, though comfort wins out over museum-piece restraint. It holds three Michelin Keys. Mr. Darcy cosplay is optional but the grounds will not discourage it.
-
Houses 15 and 16 of Bath's famous Georgian crescent, with no sign out front because the doorman is considered sufficient. This is a full-service hotel where the interiors lean contemporary-classic rather than period-room solemn, with four-poster beds, marble baths, and a spa that actually earns the town's Roman-waters reputation. The Michelin Guide awards it 2 Keys. A restaurant, bar, conservatory, and garden round things out.
-
Four joined Georgian townhouses in the heart of Bath, commissioned by a marquis and now a boutique hotel with a Michelin Key. The rooms vary in size because nobody ripped out the original floor plans, so the bones are pleasingly odd and the architectural details are intact. A married couple runs it, which shows. Atmosphere is the whole point here, and Bath's tendency toward suffocating chintziness has largely been kept at the door.
-
Bath's only hotel with its own geothermal spring sits on a site where Romans were already soaking long before anyone thought to put up a Georgian facade. The Gainsborough Bath Spa is a luxury hotel that leans hard into that history without getting stuffy about it: the amber stone columns and elegant interiors feel period-appropriate, the spa pools and eleven treatment rooms feel very much now. The Michelin Guide awarded it one Key.
-
-
A Victorian mansion with the good sense not to take itself seriously, The Bird is a 29-room boutique hotel where bold prints, animal imagery, and a cheerful collision of modern and antique fill rooms named by size from Dinky on up. Bath Rugby's stadium is a short walk away, and the terrace fills up nicely on match days. The Michelin Guide has it among its selected hotels, which feels about right for a place doing its level best to be the anti-Bath hotel in Bath.
-
Three joined Georgian townhouses on Great Pulteney Street, just over Pulteney Bridge from the old city center, make up this boutique hotel that smuggles a playful, country-house sensibility inside a perfect period shell. Rooms run from genuinely attainable to full splurge, a basement spa handles the post-sightseeing damage, and the bar does cocktails for people who'd rather not go back out into the rain.
-
The only L'Occitane spa in the UK happens to sit inside a country house hotel a short walk from Bath's city center, which feels either coincidental or very on-brand for Bath. Formal gardens, an outdoor pool, grand rooms in both the main house and the annex, and two places to eat and drink round out a stay that leans heavily Georgian and not at all apologetic about it. The Michelin Guide awarded it a Key.
-
-
A row of honey-colored Georgian townhouses on South Parade, turned into a hotel that takes its local roots more seriously than most. Rooms mix period styling with modernist flourishes and Hypnos beds, while the subterranean suites have rough stone walls that feel more Bath than boutique brochure. The Elder, the in-house restaurant, does contemporary British cooking with a whole-animal ethos. Selected by the Michelin Guide.
-
A Grade II-listed former dye mill on the River Avon, Timbrell's Yard is a small hotel in Bradford-on-Avon that leans into the setting without overdoing it. Stone fireplaces and oak beams downstairs, sheepskins and patchwork tiles in the rooms, and the better ones come with freestanding tubs and floor-to-ceiling windows over the water. The bar pours craft ales and West Country ciders, and the Cornish Martini has quietly become the house drink. Bath is seven miles away, if you remember you need it.
-
-
Seemingly endless gardens surround this small, polished country-house hotel in the Cotswolds, where 23 generously sized rooms manage to feel both rustic and firmly in the present century. The Dining Room draws guests from across England, while Grey's Brasserie handles the more casual end. The Aquarias spa adds another reason to stay longer than planned. Whatley Manor holds two Michelin Keys.
-
A Georgian townhouse on Portland Square that was once a boot factory, which tells you something about Bristol's gift for reinvention. This boutique hotel leans into the city's art scene with work by local artists on every wall and locally sourced everything else. The rooms feel lived-in rather than styled-within-an-inch-of-their-life, and the Boot Factory bar runs from breakfast through cocktails. The Michelin Guide awarded it one Key.
-
An eleven-room hotel in a Georgian townhouse on the edge of Clifton Downs, with the Bristol rooftops spread out behind a terrace that catches the afternoon sun. The atmosphere leans guest house rather than boutique, which here means copper tubs in the loft suites and Hypnos beds instead of a bar program. No restaurant, but breakfast is a serious affair. The Michelin Guide awarded it one Key.
-
Henry VIII slept here, which Thornbury Castle will never let you forget, and fair enough. This Tudor hotel outside Bristol, holding a Michelin Key, wraps guests in genuine 16th-century stonework, tapestries, and the particular hush of a building that has outlasted empires. Dinner leans grand and ceremonial, afternoon tea even more so. The comforts are quietly modern, but nobody comes here to be reminded of the present.
-
Stone walls that have been hosting weary travelers since medieval times frame a hotel that refuses to become a museum piece. The owners, an American couple who brought Texan hospitality sensibilities to the Cotswolds, have filled each room with its own mix of wallpapers and textiles, so no two feel alike. The restaurant, Abbey Row, serves modern British cooking in a space dramatic enough to distract you from the menu.
-
-
A row of 18th-century sugar warehouses turned boutique hotel, Hotel du Vin Bristol sits near the renovated docklands with the bones of its industrial past still visible. Rooms lean into the loft-conversion aesthetic, with walk-in showers and roll-top bathtubs doing a lot of the heavy lifting. Downstairs, a billiards room, a serious wine bar, and a French-inflected bistro that Bristol locals treat as their own round out the picture.
-
A Georgian manor house in the Somerset countryside that started as a rustic annexe to Soho House, which tells you almost everything: the exterior could step straight out of a Jane Austen adaptation, while inside, London follows you down the motorway. It's a country-house hotel where meals run at all hours and the Cowshed spa competes, somewhat hopelessly, with the bathrooms. The cinema, billiards room, and tennis courts handle the rest.
-
-
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.
-
A former vicarage in the Cotswolds, converted into an eighteen-room hotel where the old chapel is now a copper-countered cocktail bar under original stained glass. Log burners sit in original fireplaces, a wellie room equips you for valley walks, and the restaurant runs sharing menus that shift with the seasons. The kind of place where afternoon tea by the fire feels less like a cliché and more like the whole point of being there.
-
Stone walls that have been standing since the 16th century now share space with sleek modern furniture across 24 rooms at this boutique country inn just outside Cirencester. The Cotswolds is full of places claiming to be charming villages, but Ampney Crucis has a reasonable case. The Crown, the inn's pub-style restaurant, runs a farm-to-table menu broad enough that nobody argues over where to eat.
-
A brass ship's window and a renovated ship's bell hang in the bar of this riverside inn, propping up the local legend that its timbers were salvaged from a sunken 18th-century warship. A careful overhaul uncovered original flagstones and ancient beams, now layered with earthy greens and Welsh Melin Tregwynt textiles. Six Heritage Rooms are named after navigators and river figures, and the kitchen keeps things hyperlocal throughout.
-
Eight rooms inside a converted chapel in Bruton, the little Somerset town that's been quietly having a moment since Hauser & Wirth moved in. The white-on-white interiors read a bit like a gallery, which is either the point or a happy accident. Rooms are spare without being austere, with marble bathrooms and a basket of croissants delivered each morning. The restaurant, in the old rectory, runs British with a Mediterranean lean.
-
A working cyder cellar, a replica Roman villa, and a honeybee colony grand enough to earn its own name, Beezantium, and that's before you've unpacked. The Newt is a Michelin three-key country-house hotel in Somerset, with forty rooms split between a limestone manor and Farmyard outbuildings, a spa with an indoor-outdoor pool, and three restaurants drawing heavily on the estate's own gardens. Serious gardens, by the way.
-
Rosemary Verey designed the gardens here, which should tell you something about the seriousness of the place. THE PIG is a country house hotel in a Cotswold village, with rooms that lean into the period bones without going full-twee, a spa tucked down a winding path, and a restaurant that sources from the kitchen garden visible through the dining room windows. The kind of hotel where the grounds alone justify an afternoon.
-
A Cotswolds country-house hotel with a Parisian makeover, where the story goes that Lewis Carroll first met Alice Liddell. The Experimental Group has since installed a Dorothée Meilichzon interior that blends Italianate grandeur with French cool and the odd Wonderland wink. Thirty-six rooms run from cozy to full four-poster-and-terrace, the Experimental Cocktail Club runs the bar, and the C-Side spa has a spectacular glass-walled pool. It holds a Michelin Key.
-
Ancient beams and roll-top baths in a former working farm that's been sitting in the Forest of Dean since the 13th century. Tudor Farmhouse is a small hotel with rooms ranging from cozy doubles to suites with proper lounge areas, all stonework and monsoon showers. The kitchen garden and a tight ring of local producers feed a restaurant that runs from breakfast through an evening tasting menu. Good countryside is essentially the wallpaper.
-
A Cotswolds estate where the village pub, the spa, the cookery school, and a spring-fed pool all belong to the same address. Thyme is a luxury boutique hotel spread across beautifully restored 17th-century stone buildings, with rooms that range from manor suites to freestanding cottages with rolltop baths and real quiet. The Ox Barn handles dinner; The Swan handles everything else. The Michelin Guide awarded it 2 Keys.
-
A Regency villa in Cheltenham's Montpellier quarter, all tall windows and period stonework on the outside, and something considerably darker and moodier once you're through the door. The 61 rooms lean into the Malmaison formula of moody palettes and over-upholstered comfort, which suits the spa-town-with-a-streak crowd just fine. The Bar & Grill runs a seasonal menu built around grass-fed British beef, so dinner doesn't require leaving the building.
-
A grand Georgian villa on the edge of Imperial Gardens, No. 131 is a boutique hotel that has no business being this cool in a town best known for horse racing and Regency architecture. Rooms mix country-house comfort with industrial-edge design, and two restaurants anchor the ground floor, one of them riffing on Tokyo. The Michelin Guide has it among its selected hotels, which feels about right for somewhere that quietly overshoots expectations.
-
A Cotswolds coaching inn with copper soaking tubs in some rooms and a Kate Moss portrait watching over the dining room. The Wheatsheaf started as a restaurant and grew into fourteen bedrooms, each different, all with Hypnos beds and Bang & Olufsen televisions, dressed in a quiet mix of contemporary and traditional country. The kitchen does a modern take on English cooking, and shooting or fishing can be arranged for guests who feel the countryside needs to be more of a project.
-
Thirteen rooms in a Georgian townhouse facing Pittville Park, each one different but all stocked with Bramley bath products and Nespresso machines, with a rolltop tub in some. The décor lands somewhere between a Cotswolds country house and a boutique hotel that's actually done some reading, with an art collection that earns its wall space. The restaurant runs a seasonal modern British menu, and the Cotswolds proper are a short drive from the front door.
-
-
Behind its honey-stone Cotswolds coaching-inn facade, this hotel is quietly doing something else entirely. Matthew Freud owns it, Banksys and Hirsts hang on the walls, and the wine cellar sits behind a French prison door. Bedrooms come stocked with mezcal negronis and late-night snacks from a pantry called The Trough. Seven bars and dining spots, pitch-perfect lighting, and unstuffy service. The Michelin Guide awarded it one Key.
-
A Georgian country house in West Berkshire where the spa is treated as seriously as the rooms, which puts the "Retreat" in the name to work. The 55 rooms split between the old house and a newer wing, with differences you'd notice but not lose sleep over. The brasserie and a pan-Asian restaurant handle meals, the Signet Spa handles everything else, and the whole thing runs at prices that don't require a quiet word with your accountant.
-
A mural depicting the 1976 Judgment of Paris, where Californian wines famously humbled the French, hangs in the hotel and sets the tone entirely. This country house hotel outside Newbury holds a Michelin Key and runs about 30,000 bottles deep, with a cellar that leans California while ranging worldwide. Forty-nine rooms keep things personal, the spa partners with Irene Forte, and Highclere Castle is ten minutes away for guests who briefly tire of wine.
-
The creaky floorboards and sloping ceilings in this old Burford inn are the real structure; the 11 rooms just settle around them. A thoughtful refresh has layered in stone-washed grays and linen textures without sanding the character out, which in the Cotswolds takes some restraint. The tapas restaurant is a mild surprise for the postcode, and the bar keeps things sensibly classic. A small, unhurried place to stay in a village that knows exactly what it is.
-
A Roman-style bathhouse on an 85-acre Oxfordshire estate is the kind of detail that stops you mid-sentence. Estelle Manor is a country-house hotel designed by Roman and Williams, the New York studio behind some of America's most talked-about interiors, and the result is less heritage pastiche than something stranger and more alive. Rooms range from the main house to cottages scattered across the grounds. It holds a Michelin Key and ranks on the World's 50 Best Hotels list.
-
-
A glass-and-steel wedge on Cardiff Bay that reads as spaceship before it reads as hotel. Rooms face the water, most with private balconies, and the interiors run warm and spare in cherry and beechwood. The spa is the quiet argument for staying in: hydrotherapy pools, seaweed wraps, and mud baths that have a way of clearing your schedule. The Michelin Guide has it among its selected hotels.
-
Old coaching inns make natural boutique hotels, and this Berkshire example has been doing it long enough to make it look easy. The 30 rooms are split between the original coach house and a cluster of outbuildings, each with its own character. The pub kitchen runs from a proper English breakfast through seasonal dinner menus, so there's no real reason to leave, which is presumably the idea. Selected by the Michelin Guide.
-
A 16th-century Oxfordshire farmhouse, beamed and crooked in all the right ways, reimagined as a boutique country inn by the Artist Residence group. Rooms mix roll-top tubs and rain showers with contemporary art and antique oddities, and the Mason Arms downstairs runs upscale English pub food beneath a neon sculpture. It sits neatly between Oxford and the Cotswolds, which makes it useful as well as charming. The Michelin Guide awarded it one Key.
-
A rooftop bar and Welsh folk art on the same floor as your bed: the Hotel Indigo Cardiff commits hard to a sense of place that most city-center hotels treat as optional. Rooms lean boutique-luxury, with locally made bath products and enough Welsh textile and pop-culture detail to feel curated rather than themed. The Michelin Guide has it among its selected hotels, and the top-floor terrace alone justifies checking in rather than just passing through Queen Street.
-
Nine rooms dressed in warm orange accents, carved headboards, and four-poster frames that could pass for a Spanish finca, sitting quietly on Quay Street in Cardiff. The boutique hotel leans hard into its Iberian identity, with an honesty bar stocked with sherries and vermouths, and Welsh cakes set alongside for good measure. The live-fire restaurant Asador 44 and tapas bar Bar 44 are both part of the same family, so dinner is already sorted.
-
A stone manor house that's been standing since the 13th century has no particular need to impress you, and Buckland Manor seems to know it. This Cotswolds country house hotel sits just outside Broadway with 15 rooms, each one distinct, all leaning into the classic without feeling frozen in amber. Afternoon tea, a restaurant running on Vale of Evesham produce, and grounds that look painted: the formula is old, but the execution keeps up.
-
The cows outside the window are not decorative: Eckington Manor is a working farm on the edge of the Cotswolds that also happens to have sixteen bedrooms, split between the old manor house and converted outbuildings. Each room bends around the original floor plan, so no two feel alike. The restaurant leans hard on what the farm produces, and the cooking school is a more serious operation than the words "hotel cooking class" usually imply.
-
A honey-stone coaching inn on Broadway's High Street, the Lygon Arms has been putting people up for so long that Charles I once slept here. It's a full-service hotel in the heart of the Cotswolds, with a spa that leans into Victorian aesthetics without making the plumbing feel period-appropriate. The rooms and common areas carry genuine antique atmosphere, but the place wears its history lightly enough that nobody feels obliged to dress for it.
-
A honey-stone Cotswolds facade that looks like it fell off a biscuit tin hides interiors that went in a very different direction: multicolored blown-glass orbs, convex mirrors, and stained-glass eaves rooms sit alongside four dog-friendly annex rooms out back. Ten rooms total, a 30-cover tasting menu with Nordic leanings, and a wine list worth lingering over. A boutique hotel that knows exactly how strange it is, in the best possible company.
-
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.
-
Thomas Hardy didn't just fictionalize the village of Evershot; he also put his architectural stamp on this Georgian country house hotel, adding the decorative fireplaces and wood paneling that give the rooms their particular weight. Stone cottages with private gardens sit alongside the main house, and the full escapist package runs to croquet, a cocktail lounge, and afternoon tea. Heavy drapery, fresh flowers, and period furniture throughout.
-
The pillow menu alone has more options than most restaurants. This Regency townhouse hotel on Chipping Campden's main square lets guests customise bedding weight, bath amenities, and minibar contents, which is either charming hospitality or a cry for help, depending on your tolerance for decisions. Interiors skip the antique overload common to Cotswolds country houses in favour of something warmer and more liveable, which turns out to suit the setting fine.
