Great Fosters ****

🎢 A five-star staycation in a Tudor manor tucked away in the Surrey countryside, just outside London. 16th-century fireplaces, mullioned windows, perfectly sculpted gardens… it feels like stepping straight into a period drama. Here, time slows down. From May to September, you can unwind with access to the art-deco heated outdoor pool, then sink into the hot tub for peak relaxation. In the evening, it’s cocktails at the bar to keep the vibe going. The next morning, breakfast for two overlooking the gardens in a light-filled room sets the tone, before one last wander through the 50 acres of parkland - and only then, back to reality.
