Located in Rutland, super-luxurious Hambleton Hall is the antithesis of the growing number of activity based hotels.

The Proprietor, Tim Hart, and his staff, stress that Hambleton is the place to come to get away from the pressure and frenetic pace of 21st-century life so there is no spa, high-tech gym or championship golf course.

Instead there are 17 sumptuously decorated bedrooms and public rooms, a beautiful garden, a dining room boasting fabulous views over Rutland Water, plus Michelin starred cuisine and the most cosseting service possible.
