Sopwell House

rating: ****

Sopwell House is a Georgian country house set within 12 acres of picturesque gardens, embraced in an era where time idly drifted by, the former home of Lord Mountbatten. Imagine a place steeped in history, with an elegance all of its own and you've found Sopwell House.

Today you can celebrate special times under the hundred year old magnolia trees in the fine-dinning restaurant, or eat less formally in the Brasserie. Take years off with time-honoured treatments in their super spa, move with the times in the gym or simply let time drift by in the art-deco pool...and leave looking forward to your return.
