At this magnificent-looking, Grade-II listed manor house you can expect excellent service and award-winning food – not to mention sprawling green grounds with a picturesque lake. Dinner is held in the hotel’s oak-panelled ballroom, while afternoon tea is served on the terrace or you can opt for a tasting menu in the private dining room. The modern British, seasonal menus champion local suppliers, while all the vegetables, fruits and herbs used are grown on-site in the half-acre kitchen garden. Estate-reared venison and lamb feature when they’re in season too, making a meal at Swinfen Hall a truly field-to-fork dining experience.
