Hartwell House
View website
Hartwell House is a magnificent stately home standing in ninety acres of landscaped parkland just 40 miles north west of London, and was restored between 1987 and 1992 by Historic House Hotels Ltd, to join its sister hotels Middlethorpe Hall in York and Bodysgallen Hall in North Wales. Between 1809 and 1814 the owner of the house, Sir Charles Lee, let the mansion to exiled King Louis XVIII of France. The arrival of the impoverished king and his court at Hartwell was not a happy experience for the mansion, with once grand and imperious courtiers farming chickens and assorted small livestock on the lead roofs. The King signed the document accepting the French crown in the library of the house. It is set in rural countryside yet only one hour from central London and Heathrow and Luton Airports, and is an ideal place for a few days' relaxation. The hotel also lends itself to quick city breaks, or as a base for exploring Oxford, the Cotswolds, and the Chiltern Hills. An overnight stay at Hartwell is a good way to overcome jetlag on arrival in Britain, or as a memorable place to stay before leaving the UK. The hotel is a popular venue for top level Special Events as well as Spa relaxation. |
