Littlecote

Hungerford, Berkshire, England
Littlecote House Hotel exterior picture
Without doubt one of the finest buildings in Britain, and thus wholly worthy of its listing in Simon Jenkins’ England’s Thousand Best Houses - he describes the rooms of the medieval part of the property as “exceptional”.

It is, however, the hotel’s connection to many of England’s most notable monarchs which impresses as much as the architectural detail: Henry VIII and Jane Seymour are reputed to have courted here (their love-knot can be seen in many of the stained-glass windows), with other regal visitors such as Elizabeth I, Charles II, and William III staying in later years.

Littlecote’s heritage also includes a murderous owner, William Darrell, who was brought to trial for infanticide, and the existence on site of the remains of a Roman villa.
 
4 star rated, the Grade-I listed hotel offers a number of more contemporary styled rooms (Standard, Signature and Royale), while the more immovable romantic will no doubt prefer the Historic Rooms which boast either four-posters or sleigh beds. Guests can dine in either Oliver’s Bistro or the Popham Restaurant, while the leisure centre features an indoor swimming pool, sauna and steam room - facilities that Henry VIII himself would no doubt have greatly appreciated.
