With the British climate dictating ingredients, there’s always a different savoury temptation to look forward to, especially with chef Simon Rogan at the helm, who will no doubt offer a thoroughly satisfying and hearty menu – with an emphasis on the richness of land and sea. Decompression will no doubt happen effortlessly here but, if you want to further unwind, there will be memorable massages to be had, as well as reflexology sessions in a spa inspired by British follies/ shell-adorned grottoes that have more than a flirtation with romantic Cecil Beaton-stately style.
