Gracious English country house living as redefined at this Four Seasons has been achieved through the graceful expansion of an eighteenth-century building on a 500-acre estate. The brand-new wings built in the Georgian style merge harmoniously with the original brick stables and garden walls; the magnificent bathrooms enclosed by French doors and the indoor-outdoor pool exist at a dazzling remove from historic British plumbing. Guests can swim outside even on wintry nights and can be soothed by jets of massaging bubbles after a sauna, the steam room, or one of the spa's prized massages. The more traditional country house pursuits of horseback riding, clay pigeon shooting, golf, croquet, tennis, and country walking are all there for the choosing, or you can just settle back in the library in the original Manor House and enjoy the scenery over a cup of tea, or a brandy and cigar in the library bar.
