Hand Picked Hotels are a privately owned and managed hotel group which was founded with the intention of a leader in the renaissance of the best of British hospitality.

They feel that they have an obligation to the cultural heritage of the fine country houses which make up their portfolio. Hand Picked Hotels endeavour to create a welcoming atmosphere where guests are encouraged to feel completely at home. The hotels are all large architecturally impressive buildings however you will not be intimidated by the imposing splendour of the establishment. The staff encourage guests to kick off their shoes, relax and enjoy themselves.

Set in the bonniest British countryside, the stately accommodation adorned with fine art and furnished with beautiful antiques plus the attentive but discreet service is entirely designed to stimulate enjoyment not dampen it.

Hand Picked Hotels have brought these fine country houses into the 21st Century by creating their own unparalleled “modern regency” style whereby classical architectural features such as paintings, fireplaces and antique furniture are intermingled effortlessly with contemporary comforts, fabrics and technology. This is an entirely new kind of hospitality.

Although these fine country retreats have their own individual characteristics, they do have one thing in common, they were all built for pleasure and Hand Picked Hotels intend to ensure that they deliver the maximum pleasure to their guests.
