Fodor's Expert Review Boath House

Built in the 1820s and recently refurbished, this stunning Regency manor house offers elegant, spacious rooms (some with cast-iron bathtubs), a highly renowned fine-dining restaurant with local, ethically sourced ingredients, and a stunning setting within 20 acres of lovingly nurtured gardens. The house is a registered art gallery, so many of the oil paintings that grace the walls are for sale. Amid the grounds is an elegant pond with resident swans and a 400-year-old walled garden, home to the excellent Kale Yard Café.
