A West Berkshire manor house has been named one of the best places in the UK to take your next staycation, according to the Telegraph.
Whether you’re looking for an afternoon tea or an overnight stay, West Berkshire is filled with idyllic countryside venues perfect for your next UK trip away.
Littlecote House, a beautiful Tudor manor, is located near Hungerford and features England’s last Cromwellian private chapel within its grounds and a host of luxury facilities.
Experts at The Telegraph said: “Today, you’ll find tennis courts and a woodland walk, and indoors a library to relax in plus afternoon tea served in the ornate Chinese Room.”
With over 200 rooms and a specially designed wellness retreat, you will return from this little patch of heaven relaxed and rejuvenated.
Facilities for guests include two outdoor tennis courts, an indoor heated swimming pool, a sauna, steam room, fitness centre, beauty and spa treatment rooms and a games room.
Alongside Littlecote House, the surrounding area has stately homes grand enough to rival to beautiful resort.
Highclere Castle, known as one of the main filming locations for Downton Abbey, is mere minutes from the resort offering beautiful gardens and staterooms available for touring during your trip.
Another historical and famed location to visit during your Berkshire trip is Lacock Village.
This little touch of paradise starred in the Harry Potter films and Pride and Prejudice for its well-preserved historic aesthetic.
In the nearby town of Avebury you can also see the world’s largest Neolithic stone circle.
The Telegraph added: “For light relief, there’s shopping in the quintessential market town of Marlborough, and the races at Newbury.”
Other ideal destinations for UK breaks nearby include seaside resort Norton Grange on the Isle of Wight and The Runnymede on Thames in Surrey.
