With obliging staff in tails, twinkling chandeliers, walls crowded with framed portraits and prints, and enough wood-panelling to put paid to a sizeable chunk of prime woodland, this fantastic 50-room hotel wallows in old England charm. The suites are especially lavish (Judy Garland aficionados can sleep on her bed – shipped over from the US – in her namesake suite).
Rolling Stones fans won't feel left out either – they can celebrate the Beggars Banquet album launch in the bar where it took place.
