The Rectory Hotel, Crudwell An idyllic weekend retreat, this Georgian rectory with picture-perfect, bloom-filled gardens has been converted into an 18-room hotel, oozing classic country-house style. Guest rooms boast claw-footed baths, goose-down bedding and rich fabrics, but it’s the rooms below where the magic really happens. Award-winning chef Rob Weston presides over the kitchen, with the lovely conservatory-style restaurant opening on to pristine lawns. Expect creative twists with classic local ingredients – cured trout with blood orange and English wasabi or guinea fowl with wild garlic spatzle. Doubles from £160 B&B; therectoryhotel.com
