Near medieval hamlets and built around an 18th-century Georgian house, this country hotel packs in manor pursuits: riding, clay pigeon shooting, fishing, croquet, and more. Rooms in the contemporary wings are done in "strong colors that work," with dark furnishings and heavy silk drapes. The 27,000-square-foot spa's design includes exposed beams and slate showers. With floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking Dogmersfield Park, Seasons has a market-driven contemporary menu.
