Forest Side

For out-and-out-luxury, plump for this boutique beauty. Run by renowned hotelier Andrew Wildsmith, it's a design palace: chic interiors decorated with crushed-velvet sofas, bird-of-paradise wallpaper, stag heads and 20 swish rooms from ‘Cosy' to ‘Jolly Good’, ‘Superb’, ‘Grand’ and ‘Master’. Chef Kevin Tickle previously worked at L'Enclume, and now runs the stellar restaurant here using produce from its kitchen garden.
