The Top 38 Hotels Near Osip

  1. 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.


  2. 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.


  3. 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.




  4. 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.


  5. 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.



  6. 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.


  7. 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.


  8. 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.


  9. 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.


  10. 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.


  11. 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.


  12. 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.



  13. 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.


  14. 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.


  15. 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.


  16. 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.


  17. 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.


  18. A converted coaching inn that's been around since Tudor times, the Bull is a boutique hotel in what has become, against all reasonable odds, Bridport's surprisingly cool town center. Rooms mix period bones with contemporary furnishings, some with roll-top tubs, and the restaurant pulls a crowd that isn't just hotel guests. Picked up by the Michelin Guide for selected hotels.


  19. A former 16th-century monastery on the River Frome, close enough to Wareham's town center that you can hear the church bells, yet set apart enough to feel like deep countryside. The Priory is a family-owned country house hotel with rooms split between the main house and a riverside boathouse, all antique atmosphere dressed up with a contemporary eye. The restaurant leans French-trained, seasonal British.


  20. 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.


  21. 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.


  22. A recent renovation dressed this West Cliff hotel in minimalist white, gold, and green until it looked considerably more Miami Beach than Dorset coast, which is an achievement. The 80 rooms and suites lean into the theme, and the public spaces follow through: one restaurant does driftwood and Mediterranean food, another goes full South Beach. The Michelin Guide selects it among its hotels, if you need a second opinion on the boldness of the colour scheme.


  23. A Victorian villa on a clifftop east of central Bournemouth that has quietly reinvented itself as one of England's more serious eco-hotels, without the hair-shirt atmosphere you might brace for. The 32 rooms are genuinely comfortable, the on-site Arbor restaurant leans into sustainable sourcing, and the beaches are an easy walk. Dorset and the New Forest are close enough to make this a reasonable base for the wider area.


  24. 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.


  25. A 130-acre estate on the edge of the New Forest, with the Solent close enough that the hotel will arrange a sailing trip if you ask nicely. Chewton Glen is a country-house hotel that gave up on rickety authenticity long ago in favor of bathrooms the size of small apartments and Bang & Olufsen in every room. Tennis, croquet, golf, a spa, cooking classes, and an indoor pool round out the case for never leaving. The Michelin Guide awarded it 2 Keys.


  26. A country house hotel in the New Forest where the historical bones are confident enough that nobody felt the need to gild them. The interior is crisp and contemporary without erasing the house, the staff are warm without being theatrical, and the restaurant, led by Angela Hartnett, keeps things resolutely unfussy. The spa runs just luxe enough. Families are welcome, though it never tips into chaos. The Michelin Guide awarded it 2 Keys.



  27. The Tudor-Gothic facade looks like someone dared a Victorian architect to go bigger, and the New Forest surrounding it gives the whole scene an almost unfair amount of atmosphere. This country house hotel has a formal fine-dining restaurant alongside casual options, a spa, and a pool, with forest trails starting essentially at the door. Rooms in the newer wing skip the Gothic theatrics in favor of comfortable contemporary, which most guests appreciate by day two.


  28. 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.


  29. 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.


  30. 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.


  31. 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.


  32. Despite the name, there's no gravel drive or ancestral portraits here: Stanwell House is a Georgian townhouse boutique hotel sitting right on Lymington's high street, a short walk from the quay where the New Forest effectively runs out of land. Rooms vary enough in size and layout that none feel like standard-issue, and three social spaces, including a restaurant, an orangery, and the Salt Bar, keep the place from feeling purely residential.


  33. Part of Southampton's medieval city walls holds up a 12-room hotel, which is either a structural quirk or a very committed design statement. THE PIG in the Wall is a Georgian townhouse turned snug boutique stay, with colorful tiled floors, freestanding tubs, and larders stocked with treats in every room. The deli-bar downstairs keeps wine and freshly baked things on hand, making checkout feel genuinely inconvenient.
