Just over five miles from Bath – often seen as England’s most photogenic city – is Lucknam Park Hotel & Spa.

This 300 year old Wiltshire property occupies a 500 acre site and is home to another Cotswolds Michelin starred restaurant.

Restless types can roam the grounds with the resident horses, or play a game on the football pitch, tennis court or croquet lawn.

It’s the ideal way to work up an appetite for dinner, either at Michelin starred Restaurant Hywel Jones or the more laid back Brasserie.

I love that the rooms have a grand yet welcoming ambience, with regency touches and a country house feel.

They range from Classic rooms to the top-of-the-range Grand Master Suite. All feature Egyptian cotton bedlinen, DAB radios and flatscreen TVs.

Lucknam Park also has a spa, plus an outdoor hydrotherapy and saltwater plunge pools and a heated indoor pool.
